We went on a Wednesday and we’re about the only people here. The service was absolutely wonderful with our kind waiter. We looked over the menu and ordered. Within 15 minutes our food was out. The salad was delicious along with the ranch dressing. The bbq was some of the best bbq I’ve ever had. As soon as my fiance picked up his rib, the meat just fell off the bone. It was so tender and had such a great taste, it did not need any sauce. The sides, corn, fries, Mac and cheese tasted home made and were really good. The prices are very reasonable. This is a small place but definitely has some of the best bbq we’ve ever had. We will be back along with recommending this place to anyone who wants delicious bbq.

Best line waiting experience. Never got tired of standing and the ribs made for the best late breakfast I could have asked for! Worth the wait!

This is my favorite place in the Montgomery, AL area to have a BBQ sandwich. The taste is perfect. They have both tangy and sweet sauces. Another favorite item is their camp stew. I've not been able to find any like it anywhere else. It's delicious and has plenty of BBQ meat in it too. The service is excellent - courteous and fast. The atmosphere is roadside BBQ, small with cute signs. It's the exact opposite of a fancy experience, which is exactly what I want from a BBQ place.

So after reading the ratings for this place and being told by a neighbor that this was the best bbq in town, we stopped by today to place an order to go. Limited parking spots but since we got there around 3, we managed to find a spot. I had already planned on ordering ribs, and lucky me they had baby back ribs with 2 sides on special for 14, which also came with 2 slices of white bread. So I ordered that with camp stew and baked beans. I saw a sign saying they had jalapeno cornbread today, so asked for a piece of that as well. My order was ready pretty quickly and when I got home, I wasted no time tearing into it. First I tried the cornbread. It was good, somewhat spicier that I expected, and to my disappointment pretty dry. But I did eat it all anyway, and im not even the type to really eat cornbread if that says anything. Next, I tried the beans. They were pretty good, reminded me of my dads, which is a good thing, except these had pieces of pork in it, which I definitely enjoyed. I tried the camp stew after that, and it was really good! Probably the best I've ever had. Now for the ribs... They gave a good portion size, served with sauce on the side, just as i would prefer. They weren't as tender as I would have liked, but very good, with a good amount of meat on them. I ate every bit and now suffering with my full belly. I will be back and will definitely recommend to anyone. Also, according to some reviews, they didnt care for the bbq sauce, but I thought it was pretty good.

Went here to pick up a whole smoked turkey and ham! Our River Region Runners Club gets our meat here every year for our Christmas party! The turkey and ham are always Juicy and so good! We hardly have any left! We come here every year and are never disappointed!

Stopped in and got a family pack BBQ with a half rack of ribs. It was delicious. The ribs were falling of the bone. Potato salad was good Mac and cheese was not my favorite but the meat is spot on! The girl running the resister was sweet and attentive to everyone despite the fact is was 30 mins before closing.
