We stopped here to get lunch and boy was this the right choice! We decided to split a 4 meat platter. We doubled up on brisket and pulled pork. Our 3 sides were coleslaw, smoked macaroni&cheese, and baked beans. The platter included a mini cornbread loaf and a drink. The meats, sides, and cornbread were all tastebud pleasers! We also picked up 2 fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookies and 2 pints of the sweet and tangy sauce for home. We will be eating here again!

I stopped by randomly after noticing their grand opening. You can feel the bbq walking up! I ordered the brisket platter with mac & cheese and coleslaw. Everything was delicious. You know it’s the real deal when the owner is working the counter! Cheers! #pintsforksfriends

Food is fantastic. I've tried the chicken leg/thigh and the ribs, both have been fantastic. The portion sizes are the biggest I've seen for a bbq place it's hard to find that nowadays. I go back every couple weeks. They open at 11 on weekends but pull their ribs off at 11:30-12! Worth the wait absolutely

I live within walking distance of this place and I’ve been always wanting to go. Today was the day for me I tried them out. Let me tell you. Please make a stop here and try them out! I got the pulled pork sandwich, sweet heat homemade BBQ sauce, homemade slaw and a mini cornbread loaf. They weren’t playing around when it comes to freshness and portions. My sandwich was loaded all the way up with tender, juicy, delicious pulled pork. The sauce was just the best! Little sweet and a little heat! The customer service was great when I pulled up the drive-through. The gentleman who took my order was very kind and friendly. Overall I will be coming back to try their ribs and other sides!! Shop local and eat local!

We discovered Books a month or two ago and have gone a few times. They are always so friendly, and the food is always amazing! Make sure to go early. They always sell out of something. Their tangy sweet BBQ sauce is my absolute favorite.

We ordered a pulled pork sandwich and the pork and sausage platter which came with 2 sides, we got mac and cheese and beans. The pork is very tender but not too tender and it had a nice peppery seasoning taste to it, the sausage was also very good and had a nice crisp to the casing. The mac and cheese was smoooooth like velvet, and the beans were very good. I always appreciate it when you can go somewhere and you don't have to drown your bbq in sauce, books required 0 sauce! We will definitely be back to have some more of books bbq.

First time trying this place.. food was amazing! Owner or staff working also very on point, friendly, and just overall a great experience. The brisket was soooo good! Will definitely be coming back!!

This is some serious brisket and pulled pork. The smoky aroma immediately filled my car after using the drive-thru. Canned soft drinks and Baby Ray's sauce available. Everything works together, so no need to choose favorites. Four-cheese Mac is epic, creamy slaw is cold, crunchy, and tangy. Pork and brisket both top-tier. Baked beans and cornbread were standard, but held their position. This place will become big if they keep that brisket and mac cooking. I hope they offer sweet tea eventually. Regardless, I'm gonna have to probably come back here again.
