“ I'm so glad I had stumbled across this hidden gem!!! **Carry out only**The neighborhood has seen better days but I can it's trying to be revive there's literally construction going on everywhere!!! When I pulled into the parking lot I smelled the bbq before I even got out the car!!! We decided on the chicken & rib w/ 2 sides me being a fat ass was undecided so I got 4 sides I just like to taste everything lol Let me tell you that Mac & cheese is freaking crack!!! I never had Mac that made you wanna smack the your own momma!!! Literally If I knew I wasn't gonna be able to make it back before I left I woulda order a tray!!! Hands down the best Mac I'm telling you I'm a Mac & cheese connoisseur lol baked beans so good greens bussing (bussing means really good lol) the yams were decent the peach cobbler was more of a soup like consistency good I warm it up thinking it get firm but didn't... sad but still good considering!!! I'm still craving that mac and cheese!!!! ”
“ The food is amazing when you catch them on the right days Service is pretty decent at times depending on how the cashier feels at the moment. This is a spot I have been going to for years i'm 25 now I was in middle school when my grandad was getting ribs from here. ”
“ They're busy all the time but the staff is always pleasant and efficient. It's takeout only and I recommend calling in your order to save waiting time. The ribs and sauce are outstanding. The sauce is sweet and tangy but not too much of either. The ribs are meaty and not overcooked. Best baked beans I've ever had and there's so much meat in the greens there a meal themselves. ”
