So glad I found this on Google for lunch here yesterday. Food tastes great and good size portions....I ordered Bbq chicken with 3 sides didn't realize it came with rice, too! Guy was nice but they are still just starting out so they did not have several things that was on the menu (no brisket, steak, potato salad nor collards) I went with Mac n cheese, Mac salad and the boiled cabbage. Chicken was tasty and fall off the bone. Wish they had a seating area (just a few folding tables benches would do) The truck is further back, would not have know about this unless I googled it but he did put up some new flag signs. Will be back again maybe for the ox tail next.

I’m gonna be honest ! The Ox Tails was ok it needs gravy and more seasoning . The rice was greasy and no seasoning . The cabbage was bland , Mac n cheese was dry no cheese just greasy noodles also they ran out of Mac n cheese . The greens were ok but needed a tad bit more seasoning . Potato Salad and Macaroni Salad needed more seasoning . The cornbread was burnt . We also ordered Brisket it looked juicy but it was very tough and not done at all. The only thing that tasted decent was the turkey wings my cousin purchased. Tge meals we ordered comes with 3 sides and we received 2 when we took the food back they did apologize and tried to correct the situation. The workers were very nice .
