My husband and I tasted the honey in our tea and it was absolutely delicious and the BEST! We only used the honey and no sugar. We are hooked. Thank you. God bless you for your continued success.

This place has the best Eastern style BBQ of anywhere I have ever eaten. It's perfect. No fat. No mystery chunks. Nice lean tasty pieces of pork with a perfect sauce.

The food was excellent as always. I had the fried chicken, corn on the cob, mac & cheese, & fried shrimp. I don't like eastern style bbq. Some of the staff could treat their customers better. I understand that this is trying times because no one wants to work & those that do are overworked but don't take it out on us since we are the ones that help give you a paycheck.

We booked this company to cater our wedding in June. They were so kind and flexible with our rescheduling due to covid. The food was amazing and was definitely enjoyed by all of our guests! The team was so professional and kind. Highly recommend their food and services!

Usually has a Wonderful Buffet and you can't go wrong with the food but I do think that the virus has limited some of the variety that they are now able to set out but they are open Thursday and Sunday afternoons so we tried to support our local businesses we encourage you to do the same

The only reason we're exploring Mars is because we've already discovered the finest peminto cheese on this planet. Thank you, Nixon's.
