    Try a half size of the dark and stormy ribs and another half of chicken! Yams are buttery and yummm! Special homemade lemonades are tart and fruity for the non-alcohol drinkers in the bunch!

    Please do yourself a favor and pass on the brisket!! It was the WORST I've had in life hands down. Both style of ribs are good. Wings are killer! The yams!!! I will hurt somebody for the yams!

    We didn’t know what to expect when we heard that Tanya Holland also had a BBQ joint serving what she calls “Oakland BBQ.” She served us the best Shrimp & Grits we’ve ever had - we weren’t dissapointed

    As Tasting Table and others have noted, sides like Holland's version of baked beans, using Great Northern beans, ham hocks, and burnt barbecue ends, "almost upstage the barbecue." Read more

    Best BBQ outside of Texas!!! Brisket melts in your mouth, sweet potatoes are heavenly, and the oven baked wings are amazing!

    Parking is tough, but so worth it! Excellent BBQ. The beans are amazing, but the Mac n cheese was bland.

    Seriously, the yams! And the brisket for sure. The pulled pork sandwich was good. Wouldn't get the potato salad again.

    If you're going to get take-out here in the evening, call your order in by phone. You're looking at a 20+ minute wait.

    Ask about off the menu specials like the Prather Ranch hot links!

    The half orders are big enough for most appetites (plus one side).
