    The large whole hog tray is a checkered paperboard vessel containing tangy, minced slaw totters atop a rectangle of cornpone, which in turn rests on another cardboard tub piled with long-smoked meat. Read more

    Made our South's Best List! Try the whole hog here, finely chopped and with a generous amount of crispy bits of skin thrown into the mix, served with thin cornbread. Read more

    Thrillist Top BBQ List: Get a chopped pork sandwich topped with their fresh, crunchy coleslaw, or nab the tray with a pile of succulent meat, slaw, and a thin piece of cracklin' cornbread.

    I don't love the cornbread but who cares. The pork is the best. Not dried out, super-smoky flavour, and amazing crispy bits scattered throughout.

    Best if eaten on site, the crunchy bits are like flavor nuggets, amazingly delicious!

    Best BBQ I've had. Must be eaten on site for the best flavor. Not as good taken home.

    The BBQ is good, but it's better with the Eastern sauce

    Food is decent but there are no sides to go with the meats. Not really a whole meal.
