What our guests are saying
Great service from NADIA tonight!! 1st visit and the wings in the Carolina Gold were tender & juicy with a fresh side salad w/ranch! The half rack ribs were really good too – meaty & falling off the bones! Will definitely return to try the brisket & half chicken!

Everything is fantastic here. Platters are my go-to. The best brisket, ribs, BBQ chicken, pork BBQ, fried okra, potato salad, cornbread, burnt ends, and french fries you could ask for!

Great food, great service. Got the Nick’s Special with fries, Mac n Cheese, w/ Burnt ends. Everything was delicious, aside from the dry chicken, and the wait staff made my dining experience wonderful.
