Back in action after a devastating fire in 2017, this family-owned joint has been doling out hickory smoked barbecue to legions of fans for over thirty years. Tender, slow-cooked brisket and plump, juicy ribs are the most popular dishes, but you'll also find a variety of house-made sausages, spit-roasted chicken, ham, turkey, and sides like collard greens and loaded baked potatoes. Don't overlook the fried catfish and old-fashioned burgers, either. Also worth seeking out are the daily specials, which include everything from meatloaf to turkey & dressing. As for dessert? Three words: Butter Bomb Cake.
