    Sides are traditional: coleslaw and the mac and cheese, potato salad, baked beans, homemade potato chips, daily greens, including good collards, and a fairly thick Brunswick stew. Read more

    I enjoyed Lovies. The pulled pork was tender and had nice smoke flavor. Good Q is all about the meat and the sauce should bring out the flavor, the vinegar sauce does it well. Everyone should try.

    The brisket here is amazing. It falls apart as if it was braised in an oven but has a nice smoke ring. The mac n cheese and slaw were also spectacular. Try some of the pepper vinegar on the cornbread!

    Chicken sandwich was tender and very good. Okra side was very tasty. Bbq tasted amazing and it was a good portion size. Mac was very good but baked beans where bland. Corn bread is the sweet kind.

    Good food and better service. We came in 10 minutes before closing and they told us to take our time and were very accommodating. Baked beans we delish.

    If you order the combo platter, you'll get a taste of the pulled pork and chicken, as well as the ribs. Read more

    It’s ok. Seems like it’s just warmed up to serve. The chicken was dry and not much flavor. The sauce they put on is too vinegary and you have no choice of other sauce. Give customers the choice.

    Parking is a bit limited. We walked a short way from the office. Food was outstanding.

    Brisket is good but there's no variety of sauce. Most spots have 3 choices they only have 1. Get the fried brussels. Don't get the chicken it was dry. I probably won't be back.

    The brisket was excellent; however sauce, mac-n-cheese and collards were mediocre at best. I won't be back.
