    This is literally my favorite restaurant for brisket. Their house recipe sausage is outstanding and their portions allow me to take some home and enjoy the next day. Waitstaff is always friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that the parking lot is very dark and gravelly and I worry about stepping into a pothole.

    Deanna's service was outstanding as usual. The four in our party really enjoyed our food, as usual - except the rib-eye steak was far tougher than in previous visits, which was disappointing.

    Best restaurant by far that we’ve been to. Menu was outstanding - and our dinner was perfect. Waitress was very personable and checked on us often. Highly recommend this restaurant - and we will definitely be going back. Our new favorite place.😊

    Food took a very long time to come out, spare ribs were good, pulled chicken was too saucy and the mac n cheese was flavorless. They did the right thing on the check and our waiter was good. Seems like the kitchen was short staffed and the service suffered as a result.

    I love this quaint little place. I eat here everytime I am in Beaufort. Food is excellent, service is friendly. I love the Ugly burger- Delish!! Reservations are a good idea since it is very popular with locals. This restaurant is a hidden gem!

    This restaurant is a mixed bag - the food is usually quite good, the service is friendly, except for the owner, but unfortunately last evening only half of our group thought their dinner was good - the brisket, which is usually wonderful, was almost all fat, they were out of baby back ribs at 6pm on a Saturday night and the pork ribs were so-so, there weren't any cornbread muffins because they had burned them, but the burnt ends were quite tasty. The mac and cheese is always a fav, the baked beans were wonderful and the salads were bountiful. I know that it was busy there but it took 30 minutes to get water, over 45 minutes to get cocktails (only 4 cocktails), all in all we were there for well over 2 hours which is a long time to sit at a table. Our waitress was a bit harried but very friendly and as accommodating as she could be under the circumstances. When we came in I asked the owner if he had received my phone message changing our reservation from 6 to 7 or 8 people. They don't answer their phone until 5:00, so I had to leave a message earlier in the day. His response was, not: "Hello Ladies, it is so good to have you back again." but "Well, which is it? 7 or 8 - we're busy and I need to know." No "Hello, Enjoy your meal" etc. which is typical. Why? He had already set and reserved our table of 8 - what would he have done if we were only 7? Put us at a table of 6? Not once did I see him go around to any of the tables to see if everyone was happy, nor did he thank people as they left. I have a problem giving my money to people who don't act as if they care whether or not I am there (with 7 other people), and beyond that, act as if they are inconvenienced that I am supporting their restaurant.
