Just stumbled on this place walking from the Fort Lee historic park, place was empty on that Sunday and we loved it. It started to get busy soon after, but not too much. The right amount of people to still enjoy conversation with the friendly staff. Food is great made with love by the owners and Sarah ... she is the soul of this place ! We are coming back and inviting our friends to check it out.

Wow...A lot more than expected. I brought my family(party of 5) and ordered 'Tray' by recommendation. It had variety of bbqs. Beef brisket, strip steaks, ribs, chickens with wraps, pickles. BBQ was unique with smoke flavor. Very tendered and juicy meats with smoke flavor. My 77 yr old mom enjoyed soft and juicy meats. I could have chance to peep the special BBQ grill in the parking lot when I leave. No wonder why it had special flavor. They said they smoke them for hrs and hrs with dried oak wood. Very special experience for me and my family. Would recommend highly. The sauce dispensers on the table could be updated,though. I would give 5 star overall for decent food with friendly staffs.

Their food has real southern hospitality to it. Flavors are robust. The bbq isn't overly sweet, but just right. They also have seafood mix that comes in a plastic bag with a bib. My mom loves it. Service is great at the bar or table, you will notice and appreciate it.

We now have an official BBQ spot. Seriously, what AMAZING BBQ. So creative, so well done, so many sauces! My husband and I had an early reservation and had the whole place to ourselves. It was great. Our waiter was the best. This place has its own small parking lot so very convenient. Love the awesome vibes and will definitely be back!
