Brian BarnesJune 7, 2014Delicious. Easily one of the top restaurants in Rocky Mount. Haven't found anything on the menu that I don't like. Try their chili cheese fries appetizer and the macaroni and cheese is top notch.Upvote1Downvote
The filet is the best on the menu, but my family and I enjoy everything on the menu. Clearly the best restaurant in the area.Upvote1Downvote

Clint WilliamsJuly 29, 2013Went for lunch & had the brisket platter. Very tender, very smokey and a light tomato-based sauce. Good bit of fat on each slice but quite tasty and tender. Service: ok but very slow. Great atmosphereUpvote2Downvote
