We were in the area for Baseball, visiting from the Bay Area. I just about ordered 1 of everything from the menu. 10/10! My husband is born & raised in Oakland, where they have a lot of soul food, & he's usually not easily impressed, but he gave them 10/10. All the sides were just delish & perfect. The greens, the Mac & Cheese, the Sweet potatoes, just amazing. Owner was very kind.

Some of the best BBQ in the area! This spot is family owned and operated, and it's obvious that they care about their craft. The service is very friendly and welcoming. They're located in a small parking lot but I've always been able to find parking. They usually have a longer wait (around 30 minutes) but they do offer pick up service. I love their mac and cheese, potato salad, and pulled pork. Their prices are reasonable ($15 for lunch with extra charge for certain options). The restaurant has plenty of seating, bright lighting, plants, and beautifully natural ambience.

Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Seating: 4/5 Parking: 4/5 A great place for delicious BBQ from a locally-owned business. Lots of free, unlimited parking from the medium-sized parking lot. Albeit, the parking lot is a little run-down with a couple pot holes but still free parking. You walk in and order then seat yourself anywhere and they'll bring out your order to you. The customer service is always kind, though a bit slow so prepare to wait for your meal for a bit. Indoors is decorated very nicely with lots of plants and a large tinted window to bring lots of sunlight in. A lot of indoor seating with standard metal chairs that can get uncomfortable to sit on after a long time. The Mac n Cheese is so good, very flavorful and cheesy, perfect if paired with Pulled Pork. This time I also ordered 1/2 chicken, the meat is deliciously seasoned and tender inside. The meal comes with two Hawaiian Bread rolls and a tangy BBQ sauce. The potato salad is good, nothing too unique about it. Overall, a great spot for BBQ and you're supporting a small, local business!
