Dad's Bar-B-Q House

Absolutely love this place! Best catfish I've ever had! Quick and friendly service!

I had the special of the day- Bean Soup with Ham- excellent taste with large amounts of ham chunks, friend potatoes and slaw just like Mom use to make. This is a GREAT place to eat if you want good old fashion Diner type food.

I was just traveling through town, actually, looking for something other than the usual chain restaurants, and I chanced across Dad's Bar-B-Q. If you're tired of burgers and are the sort of person who likes to support local businesses, it's a great alternative.

The pork that they serve is nice and tender and the bit of BBQ ribs that I stole from the wife were quite tasty as well! Entrees are inexpensive and come with your choice of a few of maybe a dozen sides, served in cafeteria-style trays to keep your sides separate, in case you're the type of person who doesn't want your food to touch. For me, I was liberally scooping my sides over the tray's various lips to try everything together.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good my fried okra was! I didn't expect much, but it went perfectly with a little of the house-special BBQ sauce drizzled on top. I also had their mashed potatoes w/ gravy and some baked beans for a nice BBQ/picnic experience.

The iced tea wasn't that hot on its own, but they have lemon juice at the table and that perked it right up. For dessert, I had the best pick out of our group with an "autumn cheesecake", a cheesecake topped with apple slices, a bit of cinnamon and some caramel.

Service was fast and attentive. We bought a bottle of their branded BBQ sauce on the way out and it helped bring the evening's burgers to the next level.

If I lived in the area, I could see coming back whenever the urge for ribs struck, easy.
