        Awesome BBQ & Service

        Sykes catered a recent retirement center at a local reserve center. They went above and beyond in helping us feed a huge group within our limited budget. They even took the initiative to come back with sandwiches for the security personnel at the gate! Our 350+ guests had nothing but compliments for the geat-tasting BBQ pork and chicken. They loved the pies, too!

        I'm Soooo FULL

        This place is great. It is really small and homely, but it tastes great. The people epitimize the meaning of Southern Hospitality. I had one of those Large burgers, and it was GReat! If only I could unbutton these pants! lol!~
