Wow, driving through Ardmore OK and 'starving', saw a sign for this BBQ place so stopped in. What can I say? The choices were almost overwhelming, but we chose a two meat plate with chopped brisket and sausage. Delicious! The sides we chose were green beans (good) and corn with jalapeños - amazing!! I skipped the rolls but my friend ate his AND mine - he said they were great. I got the spicy BBQ sauce and it was spicy for sure, friend got one spicy and one sweet - liked them both. For dessert we did the blackberry and the peach cobblers with ice cream. Great ending to a wonderful meal!

While staying in town a friend recommended us eat here for lunch. I am so glad we did. I ordered the combo with 3 meats (hot links, sliced brisket, and ribs) I also got onion rings and coleslaw. Let me start off by saying I got way more food than I could eat. The hot links had just enough spice but not too hot. The sliced brisket was tender and had great flavor. The St. Louis style ribs were surprisingly tender and had great flavor. The onion rings came on a side plate and were great dipped in bbq sauce. The coleslaw was amazing! I can't really tell what is in it but it is a creamy mayo base. Really some of the best I have had in a long time. The service was excellent. I would eat here again in a heart beat. It's too bad they don't have these restaurants in VA.
