    This is a quaint little restaurant/smoke house located in Historic Springfield. A small, but mighty tasty, gathering place for good smoked meat of all types. The sides are genuinely good, and they serve fried seafood here also. I even overheard the owner talking about smoking some mullet in the near future.

    After hearing rave reviews about the seafood, we decided to try it. The shrimp arrived lukewarm, and a bit over breaded for my taste. Husbands pulled pork was very fatty and inedible. I understand the fat is necessary to flavor in cooking, but it should always be removed prior to shredding or serving. Good prices & fast service.

    This was absolutely the worst BBQ I have ever had. I ordered brisket, fries, and baked beans. The beans tasted like they came from a can. The brisket tasted tough and chewy, like a roast, no fat. They remade the plate and brought me out what looked a pile of chopped beef that tasted like it had been microwaved with water, and had half a shakers worth of pepper dumped on it. It was so horrifying. My stomach ached into the night. And for what it's worth my roommate said it was the worst brisket he had ever had as well, and he and I went on two separate occasions. It's 2:00 am and my stomach is still upset. Don't go here.

    Sauces and sides are very good, and I know it's the babyback lunch special, but to me it's a HUGE sin to NOT remove the membrane from the ribs before smoking them. Ribs could have definitely used some more time on the pit to tender up too. I'll be back though, hoping to see some improvement.

    Service was fast and polite, the meats were really good and tasted fresh. The mac and cheese left a bit to be desired but to be fair most places don't have amazing mac and cheese to begin with. The real star of the sides are the beans which complement the meats perfectly. I recommend asking for your bread to be toasted. Overall this will probably be a regular for me since I work in the area.
