    It's been a while since I've been able to post a review - I am only posting top rated experiences. What a foodie find. Walked up to order at the window, was greeted by one of the friendliest people ever. On the chalk board, they had a brisket sandwich for $8. Yes. EIGHT. If you're waiting for the -teen behind the eight, it ain't coming. Tried the onion straws and washed it down with a sweet tea. Ticket time was prompt. It was a 94° lunch break, but the dining patio felt PERFECT. I wasn't even "warm". These are the foodie experiences I enjoy sharing - environment, service and food all coming together. In this case, it's a "family barbecue" experience. Put this on your list if you haven't gone. I can't wait to come back!

    Found this jewel on a day trip to Spartanburg. Husband and I shared a BBQ plate and a cheeseburger. Employees were kind and and efficient. Everything was fantastic! I fell in love with the red slaw (I'd never had it before) and thought it paired perfectly with the pork. Loads of fresh, gorgeous lettuce, tomato, and onion on the burger made it especially delicious. Next time I'll be trying some brisket and tamales. Totally worth the trip.

    The quality for the price is actually insane. Thank you for making a great place for me and my family to still go out and get amazing food in today's economy. You guys rock.

    We've eaten at this place maybe 6-7 times now it never disappoints. If you want a decent low priced bbq experience this is a great place. We got 2 bbq sandwiches, an all the way hot dog, an order of hush puppies and an order of Tetris tater tots for $20. Also the woman at the front is always very nice to us!

    This place is as solid as a rock as far as the food. I have never gotten anything that wasn’t very good. Expect a bit of a wait because they cook to order. Don’t miss the onion straws! Parking can be tricky because they are so busy but well worth the trouble. One of my favorite spots to get breakfast or lunch in Rutherford County!

    We were fortunate to be waited on by the owners daughter. Didnt catch her name but she was by far the friendliest person ever. The food was delicious. Huge portions. I had a BLT and it was packed with bacon. The lettuce and tomato was so fresh. My husband had the BBQ plate and itwas delicious. It was our first time to Rutherfordton. We were there for a volleyball game at the high school. We would definitely revisit this restaurant. It was like an old school diner and we loved it.
