Thought I should leave my two cents, as the last review was almost a year ago. My wife and I stopped there for a friday afternoon lunch today, and were quite pleased.Only one other couple was eating there, so we had the place to ourselves. Nothing special about the decore, but clean and open.
The menu was extensive, and they use hickory as the smoking wood. I love all types of good BBQ, and we were pleased with our selections.They do not serve pork products, but have a great selection of beef, fish, lamb, chicken, gumbo (on Fridays)etc. You can get pita sandwiches, regular sandwiches, dinners, plates, etc. There are differences in their definitions of plates versus dinners, so ask before ordering. The dinners carry a little more meat than the plates, so we went for them. I had brisket and my wife had the chicken. You get two side dishes, and I had the beans and mashed potatoes, and my wife had beans and coleslaw. The potatoes were cold and not special, but the beans were great. They had bits of meat in them, a slight tad of heat, but really good. The brisket was moist, tasty, and cooked medium. The chicken was a little dry, but the sauce made them very good. Slaw was good. There was plenty of food. We left completely stuffed.

They should have included some corn bread or rolls with the dinners, which would have made them more complete. All was served piping hot. The sweet tea was cold and no problem with refills.

For those commenting about the lack of wet towels, go to the washroom and wash your hands. Bring the wet towel out to the table if you wish.

Note that many of the patrons are African Americans, as they also love this Georgia/Arkansas type Que. This may bother some, but not us. Good food is good food. Their take out business was brisk.

It was good food, reasonably priced, and we would return again. Give them a try.

I’ve been going to this restaurant for over two years and the customer service have deteriorated throughout time. Just today when I was going to pick up my lunch I was just minding my own business when the old black lady who was working behind the pick-up counter asked me if I worked around the area and I calmly replied that I live out here.Well, after my reply the lady seemed to uttered under her breath something negative that I didn’t make out and went on about her business. I WOULD NOT recommend eating at this place if you appreciate good customer service.

Went there for lunch on a Sat. Only one person eating at a table. Their was a large screen video being watched with ear shaking volume. Oh, and three employees were outside playing catch football. They all rushed in when we walked in. I then said no thank you and we walked out.

This place has Killer BBQ and I dig the gift card/ loyalty card. They actually give you back money for spending money, very cool in my book. I was there one time checking out the grub and it was karoake night, saw http://www.Jennetta.com, some other guy that had a great voice, then the owner sang a few. KICK ass time. I’ll be back.

Soo many great things::: BBQ that is DELICIOUS, experienced Staff, Unique layout, great patrons, good beers, there is basically a small theatre inside with your choice of DVD. I left a great tip but I’d rather give send you some product I now distribute from http://www.qtheheat.com. My Wife Jennetta(www.jennetta.com)also sang a few songs there one night, so did the Owner! THis place is GREAT, and I hope it’s around for many years to come.

Hard to find intially but the BBQ is excellent. Lunch is busy, best to order to go ahead of time if you are on a tight schedule. When you’re used to 5hr+ smoked hickory/cherry ribs and 1lb steaks, it’s a lot easier to drop by Grandpa’s because they do the dishes afterwards. They can sate a healthy BBQ appetite with their portions and the beans w/h pastrami are great. Try it, you’ll either love it or find a reason to go back.
