2 | Came to this location a few years ago and haven't been back since. It wasn't that it was \"bad,\" it's just that, as far as the nationwide spectrum of barbecue goes, this is just not that good.

2 | Great for lunch or catering. The sauce is tangy and not too sweet or thick. The peach cobbler is much too sweet, but I love the pulled pork or chicken. It's a little smokey (a little dry, but that's what the sauce is for). It's no frills but delicious.
