My sister and I were looking for BBQ dinner. The place we were looking for turned out to be a food truck, which is fine but we wanted a sit down place. We passed Donna's BBQ on the way, so decided to give it a try even though it had less than 4 stars reviews. The inside dining is not open, but they have outside tables. We ordered at the window. They did a good takeout business while we were there. We got pulled pork and asked for extra sauce, mac n cheese, coleslaw. Coleslaw was a little dry for my taste, but mac n cheese and pulled pork were really good. I would get take out from there next time and skip the coleslaw. The outside tables were very noisy next to busy road, but better than eating in car.
The food was simply delicious! We had the Pulled Pork Meal, 1/2 Chicken Meal, with Collard Greens, Baked Beans and Cole Slaw. We also had 2 drinks. The chicken was not dry and flavorful. The pork had great flavor as well. The greens had a nice smoked flavor and the beans were just right and not too sweet. We were so full, didn't have a chance to eat the cole slaw. We plan another visit to try the Mac and Cheese and deserts. The 2 meals and two 32oz drinks cost us around $38 dollars.
We thoroughly enjoyed the food and the staff was very polite. Bbq is prepared in many different ways and I think some lose sight of that. I'm from the Memphis TN area and this is different from what we do there but it is good homemade food. I'm a small business owner too, so hats off to them and I wish them much success. In fact we had to wait because the first time we ordered they were sold out and we tried again the next weekend and enjoyed it.
Best BBQ I’ve had in a while! The ribs were tender and delicious, the pork mixed with the sauce was absolutely great. The chicken was falling off the bone. But, the baked beans were my favorite, they had that smoke flavor like brodus used to have! I was very pleased with my experience and the GREAT customer service I received!
