I like the old place better but it had to enlarge itself, the style could of been better is all I‘m saying. I don‘t think I‘ve ever had anything bad here. The food is great, service awesome and very clean. Get a reservation on Friday or Saturday night or you‘ll wait FOREVER, lol.

AMASING place to eat! BBQ diner is the best and ohh dont forget to use the spicy BBQ sauce with it, they both make a great combo! For ice cream i get the almond joy because of the great flavors in it. I dont get it with whipped cream of chopped nuts on top. Deffinatly worth the wait! i cant wait to go there again!

Very average BBQ considering the great rep it has (I have had the barbecue dinner and the saucy southerner sandwich; perhaps the ribs are better). Also quite noisy and difficult to talk to friends at your table. My ice cream sundae was decent but a small portion for the price. Good thing is it‘s pretty cheap.

Everyone raves about this place and I can not figure out why. The BBQ is dry and bland, the service is fair at best and there is no way that you can visit with other people at your table. Even when they are slow the noise in that place is awful. I will never go back....next time I will go to BBQ place in campus town.

good food but not worth the wait, which is often upwards of 30 min. this restaurant is best suited for families/large parties; it is always noisy and crowded.
