I drive over an hour off my return trip to Baltimore from Raleigh to bring barbecue back to friends. Outstanding staff and great barbecue!!Don’t change a thing. Nice to find a place that is always consistent with service and food. Peace ...

Always good and always friendly. True down east BBQ , fried chicken and slaw it's grand. Just had the fried trout plate and it was perfect. I normally just get BBQ and chicken. Eat in or take out and they cater too.

My husband and I ate there for the first time on Saturday, November 14, 2020 and the food was out of this world. When I say that it was delicious, I mean it was just that. There is nothing like good old southern style cooking.

Found via Google after visiting the bird park. Awesome pulled pork, collards, Brunswick stew, and hush puppies. Fantastic food at great prices. Note : cash only!

This is my favorite BBQ place. It is literally a whole in the wall with the best team of cooks in a several state area. Only open 1145 to 6 on Friday and Saturday. There is more "Soul" in their ribs by far.

It's a very small place but full of downhome charm. The staff is always friendly and the service is fast. The food was very good. Avoid going late in order to get a better selection because they do sell out of certain items late in the day.
