Brought a bbq meal here recently and it was superb. It was during lunchtime and the place was packed. Always passed by and never stopped until now but after stopping I will be a regular customer. The bbq was just that good and served by a friendly staff. You outta try it some time. Right off center street and Hwy 72

Quick service and great bbq. Falling off the sandwich with plenty of sauce. Pretty good banana puddin too. Friendly staff. Located in an old Coleman’s Bbq and pretty much like it was way back then.

I love this place! I usually get the BBQ sandwich, and it’s always delicious. The onion rings are my favorite, and the service is phenomenal. I’ve never eaten at the restaurant itself, I usually just use the drive-thru, and it's always quick. However, if you're impatient and don't like waiting a bit, you can call ahead to place your order.

This was my first time to go and eat there. The service was good. The order was prepared in an orderly time frame, and the BBQ plates that my wife and I ordered were very good. They serve sweet and unsweet tea along with Pepsi products. We enjoyed our visit today.
