We were sent here by Tom from Rose Creek Mine... he said they love the place. We tried it and they were right. Its great! We ended up eating here three times during our 8 day stay. We each ordered different things and sampled as much as we could. Everything was good. Just the other day, my son said I... More

The first thing that I loved was a blessing on the cover of the menu. Excellent service from the waitresses. Very tasty pork sandwich!

Nice place with spacious inside dining, country atmosphere and friendly staff. I had brisket and pork, both tasty but, thin sliced brisket just seems to miss the mark for good 'ol BBQ. Tangy sauce was excellent and I managed to make a "PIG" outta myself anyway. Try the collard greens, they're cooked just right. Word around town is they do... More

We have been coming here on our vacation for years and most times eat here more than twice in the week. The best catfish ever! The friendliest service and clean!

BBQ beef tasted like roast beef and was VERY dry. The sauces were great though! Service was nice. We were the only ones in the restaurant and our order came out wrong. It was never corrected after we told the server, but we also were not charged for it. Bathrooms need updating and although we arrived at 8:30 and they... More

Staff was pleasant. Clean appearance. Good location but this is not ,in my opinion tasty BBQ. Our rule is to not eat BBQ anywhere that does not have visible smoke coming out of the chimney & we stopped here anyway. Try the little hut in back of the Whistle Stop mall instead.

Great food, good location near Hampton Inn and Comfort Inn and friendly service. Try the cat fish, or for a lighter meal, the grilled chicken salad is one of the best I have ever had.

The food is average - some items are frozen like okra and fries. The BBQ is sweet and meat was good. The value is very good, three sides and good portions. Overall fair - I might come back but won't be my first choice.
