    All the food was freshly prepared. I received a free cup of iced tea while I waited for my to-go order. The corn pudding & hush puppies were delicious and the banana pudding is to die for.

    Bring your appetite and a friend. I visited during their pre-opening and the brisket rocks. Be ready to take food home with you too. This may be the new king of bbq in the triangle.

    Everything is awesome. We sampled just about everything. Try the brush fire bbq sauce if you like spicy and sweet food. Great customer service. Very clean. Hands free bathroom is a nice touch.

    Excellent service in a very full, self service, restaurant. Food is absolutely great and the cucumber salad is a unique addition. Probably my new go-to BBQ joint.

    The service is the best. Mentioned to my wife that the cornbread looked good and that we should try it next time. Manager overheard us and gave us one to try.

    The city sampler is perfect to try all of the smoked meats. By far my favorite place so far

    The brisket is amazing. The baked beans with brisket are also amazing. The chipotle peach pulled rib sandwich? Do it.

    Very nice people work here. An older gentleman was struggling standing in the long line and they had him take a seat and brought his order to him.

    If you want to try a little of everything try the city sampler. The peach cobbler is to die for.
