The Slab

🫤 there is a coffee shack there now, the Slab is gone. I ate there 1 time about a month or so after they opened. 1 person before me it took about 8 minutes to get my burger. they poured the fries into the carry out box before my burger hit the grill. needless to say by the time I got my food the fries...

Jerry Neel's Bar-B-Q, Catfish, & Catering

Barbecue restaurant

👍 Food is always good imo, when there aren’t very many bbq places to choose from. Lower prices would be nice but bbq tends to be more expensive. Their sweet tea is worth the visit, alone.
