Experience Through Their Eyes

Food was amazing, staff was helpful in food selection, kind and awesome people.

Read a review earlier this, so here I am. Loved it! Warm, friendly greeting & service. Ordered 3-meat plate with ribs, brisket, & chicken. The ribs were awesome. Sides were baked potato salad and onion rings. Those hand-battered onion rings were divine! My favorite thing (after the onion rings) were the wood covered walls.

The food was very good. Best ribs I ever had. The Cole slaw and Mac N cheese was good too. Best Cole slaw I ever had in like 3 years now. I did the three meal and selected brisket, ribs and smoked/fried ribs.

Amazing food on my first visit. Highly recommend the smoked sausage. Unlike any I've ever had. The staff was very kind and we never had to ask for refills the entire meal.

This has to be 1 of the best stops in Sterlington just north of Monroe. These thick tasty ribs called for a return trip during my visit to the area. Their menu has quite a few selections that highly agreed with my tastebuds. Both times we ate in and both times i ordered extras to take with me!

I've finally found a bbq place where I don't get indigestion from. I had the pit loaded which was all the meats and for some reason they weren't greasy and I was able to enjoy.
