  Excellent BBQ (I had the chicken on all three visits). Clean restaurant (including the restroom!); friendly staff, ample seating, delicious food.

  No smoke flavor  in the pork bbq and sides(collards and black eyed peas) were devoid of flavor. Subpar bbq all the way

  Normally when I'm checking out a chain BBQ joint, I make sure to not get my hopes up too much.  But with a friend of mine recommending that I give it a shot, I decided "why not?"  And I usually don't write reviews after the first visit, but I decided to after this experience.
  
  As I walked up to the door, I could smell the smoke, and the sight of logs out back gave me hope.  I walked up to the counter and ordered a smoked chicken sandwich "Alabama style" (which means they add slaw and Alabama white sauce) with potato salad and banana pudding as my sides (more on that later).  The total (with a $2 tip) was just under $12.  The price may seem a bit steep, but the price included my beverage.
  
  First off, the chicken on the smoked chicken sandwich was a mixture of white and dark meat and was smoked quite nicely.  The sandwich was sauced just right, with just the right amount of slaw.  
  
  And for the sides...  they're served in small plastic cups and could be construed as being a bit on the small side.  The banana pudding I ordered was actually the color of bananas (and not that neon yellow that you often see), with a vanilla wafer on top and on bottom.  Not overly sugary and adequately pleasing.
  
  And for the potato salad... well, I never got to taste it.  When I first received my meal, I discovered a hair in my potato salad.  I asked for a replacement, only for that replacement to also have a hair in it.  Frustrated, I asked for a completely different side (baked beans).  I was brought out an order of baked beans (which had a bold, tangy flavor that I prefer).  A few minutes later, the manager came over with a $10 gift card and apologized for the potato salad incident (and also let me know that they trashed that batch of potato salad).  Before leaving, she also gave me a second batch of banana pudding.  
  
  This was an excellent example of customer service, and I'll definitely be returning!

  We tried this place for dinner on a week night. We sat at the bar and realized you order at the counter (no waiter service). The bartender was friendly and they had a good selection of drafts (including some charlotte brews). There are also tables outside on the patio.
  
  They have your usual bbq meats available in sandwich form or platter form, and they come with 2 sides. I had the smoked chicken sandwich with gumbo and a side salad. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich with side salad and mac & cheese. The sandwiches can be served "Bama" style - red sauce, white sauce and slaw or plain. All the food was solid, not life changing, but really good. My personal preference is smokier flavor, I really didn't notice the smoky smoky goodness in my chicken, so I would kick that up a little.
  
  Overall, we liked it and would definitely go back for lunch when in the mood for some good Q!

  Went here first day they were open, as I have been patiently awaiting their arrival, and they were definitely worth the wait.  I got the smoked chicken sandwich and the meat was SOOOO juicy and tender, my wife had the smoked turkey and it was equally as good.  For my sides I got watermelon salad and collard greens.  The collards were amazing, they had chunks of sausage mixed in!! And I can't even explain how great the watermelon salad was, went back to get a bulk amount for a fathers day BBQ and they were out, I was a sad boy!  The aroma is amazing the smokey smell of roasting meat fills the air and you can smell it even before opening the front door.  On top of all of this they have a great beer selection, the draught list included local gems like OMB, Mother Earth, and Highlands.  I'm very excited about this place for the rest of summer, and while craft beer prices did seem to be a little pricey, the food is cheap enough to balance it out.  Can't wait to go back

  I went during their grand opening and the food was fantastic.  I tried the veggie platter, which was a combination of three sides - all sides were truly fantastic.  Their wings were also very good.  My favorite was the shrimp poboy - truly AMAZING.  Just be prepared for a food coma after you leave. :- )
