When it comes to barbecue I am very picky but I have to say if you want good barbecue this place is the best around. The atmosphere is really cool and the brisket is top tier. My advice for anyone who wants to visit, show up early because like any good barbecue restaurant they’ll sell out before you know it. They update their facebook every time they sell out which is helpful if you’re late to the party.

This place is unbelievably good! I know the "best" bbq place in the world so rarely do I ever venture to a new one, but I'm so glad I did. First off, the brisket is smoked to perfection. We got the loaded baked potatoe and it was SO much food. Second, as far as how much bbq you get for your , there is no where I've been that's more generous. Can't wait to go back!

Really great! I am a first time customer. The cook recommended the brisket and it was a good one this day. Not too much smoke in the meat, just right. The sides are excellent! The BBQ has a nice kick to it and the meat does not need sauce(got the sauce on the side). The staff were very friendly to this guy passing through. I will definitely stop in again if I am passing through this way. It was a nice day and I was able to sit on the patio in the sunshine.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. We drove from Tyler to have lunch here and it was definitely worth the drive! Had enough food to feed two people on one plate. You definitely want to try the East Texas Twinkies. They were really good.

This was an awesome place to find. We were hungry and driving through and sounded good. Very happy we did!! The food was amazing! We got ribs that were fall off the bone delicious. With some chopped brisket and plenty of sides. They have their own BBQ sauce that was amazing too! My personal favorite was the ribs, brisket, banana pudding, and their Cole slaw. If we happen to come back this way we will definitely make it a point to stop back in for more food.

I am a regular at 11am every Thursday. This is very likely the finest BBQ establishment east and west of the Atlantic Ocean. You heard that right, the world. The atmosphere and ambiance is simple and perfect. You are there to have brisket juices run down your chin and the decor shows it. Sliced in front of you - you see exactly what you are going to get, he cuts heavy if anything and usually adds a slice of sausage so that you regret not ordering a pound of it. When you get to the counter, you expect to empty your wallet and be happy about it, but nope, reasonable prices. If there is ever a “special” or a new menu item, which is rare, get 3. It will likely include bacon or cream cheese and there’s a possibility it will change your life. Kind, courteous staff and always sells out, get there quick fast and in a hurry if you don’t want to cry yourself home without dinner. A destination bbq location.

Best Sunday BBQ place, Ever! We are regulars now. We were forced here one Sunday because the two BBQ places in Emory are closed on Sundays. So glad we came! Brisket is like butter! So moist and simply seasoned. Not a lot of silly spices on this meat. No sir. Just smokey goodness. And the puddin' was a surprise surprise. Congrats on the perfect health score to you all!
