Great Pork Ribs and excellent service! The best Hush puppies I have ever had. Ribs were so tender, juicy, and full of flavor did not need the sauce at all. Food was great! My server PM B is amazing super great costumer service. I recommend this place. Nice vibes and great to socialize or just to have a nice dinner in downtown Raleigh.

Beautiful night on the patio for BBQ! Service was quick and friendly, even for a busy Friday night. I had the half chicken which was cooked perfectly, with hush puppies, pickles, baked beans, and collard greens. Good amount of food for the pricing. Yummy drink selection as well. We will come back for sure!
