A must stop on the 40. Big trucker parking lot and overnight is okay. Great barbecue and even better shrimps. Butterfly and 2 bite big. The plates are always generous. Very clean and comfy inside.

Well Nicks got a nice setup, plenty of parking at least more than most. Food was good too. Service was good also. I personally dont eat pork and the turnip greens had a fair amount of bacon in it. Had no problem getting a side of mac and cheese substitute. Thank you Meagan.
