Catfish was larger than u can get in a restaurant. Potato salad could have been chunkier but was still good. Beans were Great cause they add small chunks from a smoked turkey leg.. Great atmosphere and very Friendly staff. Pick up your Beer or other drinks while in this small BBQ Store..

Happens I was in the area and found a good place to buy minnows. This is the place. Minnows are priced reasonably and the lady behind the counter was very nice.

It was amazing, the hickory smoke tied it all together with the bbq sauce. And they have great customer service, asked me exactly how I wanted my order and then impressed me with some bonafied souther BBQ. Also not dry Which is a problem you were going to sometimes smoke barbecue and smoke houses, they did it right.

They still have minnows and do a great job with them. The marina at Joe Pool no longer has minnows, so this is the closest place. You can get all your snacks and more right here, support them!

Probably the best soul food Ive had since my grand mother was alive. The food was rich the flavors were perfect I am sitting fat full and happy. Perfection is an understatement, and the customer service was great, very humble welcoming people. This place needs its own show! Love love love the food!
