The mustard sauce was perfect for us spicy lovers, just enough for those that don't like . Onion rings were fantastic¡ Rolls were so fresh. Can't wait to try something else. Ordered the families pk AND it was worth the $$$

A great "Blast from the Past" !! Not the best, but beats the "chains" hands down! And the service is fantastic! Too bad they are only open three days a week!! BBQ is homemade and the BBQ'd Beans, w/ chopped Pork added, is Yummy ! Check out the Chuckwagon sandwich next time you're hungry rolling down Rt 460 in Petersburg.

A friendly, family run spot with good food. The place has a simple menu of burgers, pulled pork sandwiches, hotdogs and sides but they do it very well. They've been around for 3 generations and for good reason. They use the same recipe as when they first started and it would be a nice place to grab a quick filling bite if you're ever in town.

Called a few days ahead & ordered 12 pounds to take a cookout today. Ready when I got there & they carried it out to my car. Consistently heard, "That's the best bbq I've had in a long time!"

Excellent food and they cook it right there. The barbecue is to die for. You can also get burgers, fries, Mac and cheese, dessert, onion rings and much more . very old established company that is family owned. They have the friendliest staff and the owner AL Rawlings is the sweetest man and would help anyone. I highly recommend this number one restaurant.
