"Finally tried this spot today my husband and I. Must say definitely worth it. The staff is super friendly and kind. The food is fabulous my husband said it's the best baked beans he has ever eaten. The pulled pork is well worth it and the slaw. Will go back to try more stuff. They sale out so get there fast before it's gone. Only open a few days well worth the trip and it's finger licking good. Thank y'all for what y'all do. Small town places are the best hidden gems."

"We used Ramey's to cater my father in law's retirement party this weekend. They were delightful to work with. The lady I placed the other with was very helpful. All the food was packaged well for transport, perfectly hot/cold and it was all excellent!!! Great BBQ but the chicken BBQ with sauce was my favorite! Highly recommend"

"We saw this place on the SEC networks Down South show and decided to give it a go. Before we can even get in the door, the owner, Mr. Ramey, met us under the overhang. Had a great conversation while we waited for our food. Trust me, take the time to get off the main road and go by. But remember, they are only open three days a week and, it is an increasingly popular spot. Oh, and there is no place to sit and eat so, drive your pick up truck and sit on the tailgate!"
