This is a peanut-free establishment, & that is so important when you or a family member have a severe peanut allergy. There are even signs on the wall saying so, & asking that no peanut products be brought into the establishment. It's hard to find safe places to eat when dealing with an allergy, & this is the only non-chain place in the area we feel safe to eat at, and I am so thankful for it. The food we ordered was cooked perfectly and all of it tasted very good and was reasonably priced. Everyone with me enjoyed it. The waitress was extremely friendly, and we didn't have to wait long for our food. We will definitely return. We ate inside, but there is also a drive thru. With three meals that consisted of a main dish, side, & drink, plus two desserts, the total only came to 30 something, which is fast food prices these days.

My pulled pork salad was huge and DELICIOUS. The wait staff was friendly and welcoming. I wouldn't have thought this little restaurant could put out such great food. I will definitely be returning regularly.

Very good BBQ Ribs! The only reason for the 4 Star rating on them is; because the meat wasn't fall off the bone tender, and THAT'S The necessary component to get a 5 Star rating from me, regarding BBQ Ribs! We aren't knocking Chuck's at all! We went through the drive up window, and it was very busy, which is always a good sign, and they were kind, food was hot, service was great! We'll be back for another try; but we still haven't established a destination, where the meat is so tender, that it falls off the bone, and literally melts in your mouth yet!

This is my 3rd time this week to try a different soup each day and they have been all Gourmet which honestly I didn't expect from a bbq place. Had; Sausage and chicken gumbo full of flavor but not very spicy Roasted red pepper and gouda bisque so creamy with tomato texture Veggie beef stew Butternut squash Had tiramisu and apple dumpling a la mode

Stopped in for fried catfish bites and some bluegill. Definitely worth it! The fish was cooked to a golden crunch, just flaky enough to be done. Had corn nuggets and fried pickles as sides. All great.

We ordered BBQ pulled pork with sides for take out and as always the food was fresh, hot and so good. The service was outstanding! We are so glad you all have reopened and definitely will be coming back.

We ordered a large to go order and it was ready when we arrived. Courteous staff brought the order out to our car. Our only regret is that when we realized we hadn't tipped him and pulled up to the window to do so, the staff was to busy to see us there, so he didn't get a tip. The food was soo delicious. Our whole group was delighted!
