Don't let the lack of cars in the parking lot fool ya, STOP IN! It might look like a quiet roadside barbecue spot, but the food is awesome. 1 lb. of tender, fall off the bone ribs, creamy mac & cheese with flavorful baked beans. Topped it off with a sweet tea and it was nap time. (I was nearly ready to burst, it was so good) All that for only $18.99, it was a bargain. And my trucking brethren, there's ample parking for us there. Definitely worth a visit.

SEMI PARKING: Park facing the frontage road and highway. DO NOT PARK like the guy in the picture. They've got some really outstanding BBQ sauce!! Plenty of room for semis to park and get some really great food.

Really nice service, The food is pretty good. I am picky about BBQ. But this one, I would return to. I wish they had either the TV sound on or the radio where you can hear it. it was kinda of awkward silence and chewing from tables. That's kinda weird. other than that. GOOD

Great stop for good BBQ. it's quaint and trucker friendly. I got the ribs on recommendation, I usually like to get 2 or 3 meat so I can try a little of everything. Ribs were great and sides were fantastic. Another spot on my list of good eatin' joints across the USA.
