"Outstanding Brisket Sandwich. Simple BBQ as it was intended to be. Friendly and quick service. Hand cut right in front of your eyes.. Well worth the detour off of the interstate."

"Stopped on a road trip to Gatlinburg. Pulled pork was excellent and big portions too. Nice shaded area on the side to sit and eat. Friendly staff, can't ask fro more!!"

"After years of my father passing by this place he finally decided to try it out, so Me and him visited this place for lunch today to try it out and I can say that trying it out was absolutely the right choice and we both thought why we didn't try it out sooner. We both got the brisket sandwich, and for the sandwich being $12.99 it was packed with so much meat that we both took home like half of our sandwich's home. My father also got coleslaw and mustard potato salad and he said they were both very good. And to top it all off the two men that were working and that helped us out were super kind and talked to us for a few minutes about the store. I think I found my new spot to grab from every couple weeks, All in all I would highly recommend this BBQ place to anyone that's curious about it and I'm gonna be telling my friends to try this place out."

"I visited in the evening for dinner. There were not many visitors in the restaurant. I ordered the brisket with potato salad and beans. I was not disappointed. The brisket was tender, juicy and had a pleasant smoky taste. I'll be back."
