Look!!!. This place is a hidden gem! You have to know BQQ to understand the language! I'm from Tennessee, we don't play about our BQQ!!!. Let's brake it down. 1.) Ribs-9 out of 10. Reason: need a little more seasoning for me! But it was perfectly seasoned.2.) Bake beans-9 out of 10. Reason: the beans were flavorful and delicious! I suggest they leave the kidney beans out. 3.) Mac&cheese-7 out of 10. Reason: if you know mac&cheese it's good for it to be for a restaurant. So it's decent nothing special. 4.) cornbread-10 out of 10. Reason: you know good cornbread moist and lightly fluffy sweet! last but not least. 5.) BQq. Sauce-10 out of 10. Reason: both sauces were fye! but the one with the vinegar and sweet taste. Was the best!

This place is incredible. The food, service and atmosphere here are all top notch. Very friendly service and the food is even better. Smoked ribs that have the smokey BBQ flavor and are nice and juicy. I highly recommend it.

The food was great. The chicken tenders were gigantic, and the sauce they were tossed in were great. Brisket nachos were good. And the collards also had a great flavor. The portions were also very generous for the price. We didn't have to spend much to feed 3 people, and we still had leftovers!

Chef Bailey made our experience over the top. The food was 6 STAR, and Chef and his welcoming attitude will draw us back here. In this life there are people you’re simply glad you met. Chef is one of them. Happy all around. Well done.

I was gonna be very upset if I didn't get the ribs and I was so glad I did. They make it hard though because everything on the menu sounds amazing. Loved the food and cold beers on the front porch. Shout out to Joe, great customer service. 10/10 for the ribs 10/10 for Joe Don't miss out on this gem.

Had the pulled pork sandwich, brisket sandwich, Mac and cheese and the loaded baked potato. The food was delicious! It was flavourful and filling. Staff was very friendly and made for an enjoyable evening. If I’m ever back in ATL I will definitely be back.
