We had to arrange a supper for 40 strangers in a town we'd never been in, from 1500 miles away. Our need was to be able to pick up this large quantity of food to serve at our rented hall - not actually catered. They were so very helpful over our several phone calls.

We got a sample of the brisket, pulled chicken, and pulled pork. It was all yummy. The baked beans are awesome. Collards are good. Recommend it!

Driving by and pulled in - good choice. The brisket sandwich was incredible. Server suggested bacon on it; thank you! Had the sampler starter - ribs, wings, fried pickles and cheese sticks. All were very good. I almost ordered more wings, good smoke flavor. My wife had the pulled pork - tender and good flavor. Great service today too. Three... More
