I visited here last Monday for lunch while working in the Hartselle area. I had planned to eat inside but when I got there I realized it was much more of a drive through vibe so I went through the line and then drove to a nearby large lot and ate in my car. I'm honestly not sure if there's any indoor dining or not, but it worked out fine for me.

They were reasonably busy at around 1 PM - maybe 3 cars ahead of me. I got through quickly enough and was able to place my order probably in less than 10 minutes. The menu isn't super easily viewable from the line so know what you want beforehand! The lady at the window was pleasant enough.

I ordered a pulled pork potato and a large (they mean it when they say large!) sweet tea. I thought the price was VERY reasonable - I got out for only around $12 for a plenty large lunch.

As far as bbq taters go, this isn't the monstrously large kind you'll find at Lawlers or the nearby Pigskin BBQ, but it is certainly big enough for a filling meal. The potato was cooked nicely. I was pretty happy with the pork, too -- good consistency/pull, and I could actually taste the smoke! My one complaint is that the sour cream and whipped butter spread (not real butter) came on the side. I very much prefer restaurants to apply those ingredients themselves so they can melt into the potato beneath the hot meat and cheese. Also, real butter would've been my preference, lol.

Overall though, very solid potato and bbq for a very reasonable price. I would certainly return for a tasty local lunch.

The food was good. Getting people to understand the difference in barbecue sauce and just something with some vinegar and spices in it is another. Also when you send somebody out to take orders at the car the least they could do is smile. And not act like they really hate to be there. I won't be back at this one. I'll stick to mine at Cullman. The picture at the bottom is what y'all call barbecue sauce. It tasted like pure vinegar with a little pork grease added to it and some spices. Thank God I ordered a pint of white sauce.

I wouldn’t recommend this place. I visited three times and the food was alright. I got a turkey sandwich last time, and the bottom bun was very wet and soggy. I also noticed that NONE of the employees wear gloves, so their kitchen is probably a cross-contamination hotbed… plus, their pies are frozen. I tried the chocolate pie and it tasted freezer-burnt.

Order a large barbecue plate. The portion of meat wascso small I'll never go back.

Loved trying the Pork Plate with Potato Salad, Baked Beans, Roll, & Unsweet Tea for my taste of my experience & it was good & my brother's meal was good too.

The bbq is amazing and the vinegar sauce is legendary. Like everyone they have gone up some on the prices but are still very reasonable especially in today's economy

Rib plates, potatoes, BBQ sandwiches and stew are all delicious. No complaints and very friendly staff and will keep coming back!
