Owner and operator Rufus Allen mans the collosal barrel smoker out back. Step near this thing, and you'll smell like a campfire the rest of the day.

Allen smokes his ribs slow and low for three hours, lending the meat a deliciously caramelized crust and tender, juicy bite.

A $10 rib dinner comes with four huge pork spare ribs, as well as two sides of your choice.

A creamy dollop of mac and cheese is not baked in the traditional way, instead it's flecked with breadcrumbs and served gooey and delicious.

Collard Greens are stewed slowly and sinfully laced with chunks of smokey pork for a perfect balance of sweet and savory.

Ribs are the star of the show, with a vibrant red smoke ring that begs you to take a bite.
