Yes, I LOVE pig butts and I cannot lie haha Seriously tho, great food, great Sauce, great burnt ends, and even greater service. Heather was fantastic in helping us feel at home with great, friendly service that made us feel at ease right away. It's homey, relaxed and fun.

Excellent food! Very friendly service. We got there about 45 minutes before close, and everyone was super-friendly, despite probably working a full shift. The Pulled Pork had a unique tanginess I hadn't had in Pulled Pork, before. I loved it! You know the place is a great local BBQ place when the smoker takes up the Prime parking spot directly in front of the joint. Lol

Absolutely love this bar! From the minute we walked in they made us feel like regulars, super staff, all the people in there were friendly! You know it's a good place when they have a big ol' smoker sitting out front, the smell was mouth-watering, smoked chicken, pork, ribs you name it! Food was phenomenal and we left there with t-shirts and their barbecue sauce and food to go besides what we ate!

Absolutley excellent BBQ in this small town. Everything here is fantastic. They frequently have a buffet of incredible food as well as a full menu of offerings. I highly recomend the fried pickels or the rattlesnake bites. My go to item when I'm not getting the buffet is the Rebel Mac. Just high quality amazing food.

Really good barbecue! We ordered the brisket platters with sweet potato tots and deep-fried corn on the cob. Hadn't had either side before and were very impressed. It was our first time in the area, but if we ever get back this way, we'll be back!

This was my 2nd time having the food here. I got the pick 2 platter and with tax my total was 22. Definitely a decent price for the quality and amount of food you get. The pulled pork was so good I almost wanted to order more that night lol. I ordered on a Saturday around 5pm when they were super busy but my food still came out in 15 minutes. The staff was all really nice too.

Excellent food and Service. Great staff that take awesome care of the customers

The food was wonderful but the staff is the real reason for the review! I was in town for a tractor pull and brought our 3 little ones to eat while my husband was busy. It felt like utter chaos to me and I was struggling to juggle the kids, potty breaks, and the food and the Togo boxes and the kids interest in the gumball machines… it was a lot for me but the staff and even a customer or two all lent a hand at multiple points to make the experience a little easier on me. Once we got on the road, the kids fell asleep and I was so grateful replaying the help I’d received. I sat in the truck and ate my strawberry shortcake while reading a book as my kids slept in their seats. 10/10 experience! The food was AMAZING as well. We ordered from there two separate days while we were in town. Rebel wrap, rebel Mac, pulled pork sandwich, and a bourbon burger… all absolutely delicious.
