We stopped here after Howes Caverns. Everyone was hungry and this was only 10 minutes away. The restaurant was empty and it was around 4:30 - 5 pm on Friday. I asked what items they recommended. They recommended mac & cheese with pulled pork and the stuffed mushrooms. We also ordered brisket, pulled pork, corn bread, and cole slaw My son enjoyed playing pool while we waited for our food. The staff was very friendly and the food didn't take long to come out. Mac & cheese with pulled pork was not very tasty. Brisket and pulled pork didn't taste very good. Cole slaw was okay. The corn bread was cold and not very good.

This is a difficult review to write. I say that because my mother taught me if ya Can't say anything nice. Don't say anything at all. Yep that's how horrible my lunch was today.
Traveling through the area and decided for a quick pit stop. The name caught our attention, but don't make the same mistake we did. Our order came out fast, but the only thing that was hot was the fries. Okay so I found one thing that was good about this place the fries.
The mac and cheese was lukewarm. The brisket was dry and salty. The bun was stale, bland and dry. Now let's talk about the once was ketchup, that was filtered and reborn is what they call their house sauce BBQ. Ladies and gentlemen, there's an Arby's nearby. I recommend you go there instead. Because at least when spending $39 for lunch it would be hot, fresh and have some flavor. I normally take pictures of my lunch, but it's already In the trash at the last rest stop.

When we went, we were the only customers. It made me a bit nervous that we were the only ones there, but the brisket and pulled pork were great. The brisket melted in my mouth with each bite. They accidentally did our food as to-go instead of sit-in. As a Carolina girl, I can tell you that the cornbread is a bit disappointing. It was cold, like it was pre-made, and it tastes like it was made like a sheet cake as opposed to cooking it in a skillet. The slaw is a bit on the sweeter side. We both got a plate that came with two meats and two sides, for a total of $40. Overall it was a decent experience.

The price was way too high, but I was willing to give it a chance. Nobody in my party liked their food at all, and we each got something different. I ordered a medium-well cooked burger which came out still mooing. I showed them and they agreed it was too raw. However, instead of cooking me a new one, they removed the remainder of my opened up burger to cook longer. When I finally got it back, it was way overcooked and had a burnt taste, not to mention the fact that we were all ready to leave by that time. The onion rings were also undercooked, and I even found the loose batter inside of a couple of them. My daughter ordered the bbq mac n cheese and it was absolutely disgusting. My husband had pulled pork and he thought the stuff in the grocery store packages tastes better. My son had the “brisket”, it looked more like frozen steak slices that were almost jerky like. I highly regret spending over $70 there and will never go back. The only highlights were the pool table and jukebox.
