Excellent BBQ at reasonable prices with fast and friendly service makes Pruett’s BBQ one of the best bang for your buck restaurants that I have ever eaten at. The large BBQ pork sandwich with Mac n cheese and hush puppies was delicious but the star of the show was definitely the banana pudding! Can’t wait to eat here again.
Conveniently located, this restaurant is always busy, they do have a large area in the front, so you can sit and wait for your table. The restaurant is clean and has a nice atmosphere with a fireplace in the winter. The staff is plentiful, friendly and professional. The fried catfish filet was very good, one piece is a large portion with two sides. The onion rings were excellent, light and crispy. They were served with a sauce that I liked very much, a smoky honey mustard maybe. The baked beans were a bit tangy for me but were ok. The BBQ is always a winner. Three people in our party got the fish sandwich and said it was very good ( it is served with cheese). To me it is a bit pricey (1 piece of fish and 2 sides 12.00) but the food is good. They do serve vegetable plates that are very popular.
This restaurant is amazing, definitely recommend coming here especially because the price is so reasonable. Ribs fall off the bone and fried chicken juicier than baked chicken, also the catfish was pleasant. Service was really good despite them being very busy, but that’s always a good sign, right?
Pruett’s Bar-B-Q is hands-down one of the best places to eat! Their burgers, chicken fingers, and hamburger steak are unbeatable—seriously, some of the best around! Every bite was packed with flavor, and the service was just as great as the food. Whether you’re craving a hearty meal or just some good Southern comfort food, Pruett’s is the place to go. Highly recommend!
Another great visit to Pruett’s. We always take our family from out of town over for a great meal. Last night did not disappoint. Service and food were top notch as usual.
My family eat at Pruitts on a regular basis. You absolutely can’t beat the menu. Everything is always so good. I also have to say the waitress/ staff are the best. They are all so friendly even when they are so busy they take time to speak. They are constantly asking if everything is ok and if they can get us anything else. Katie, Courtney, Megan, Mackenzie, Kenzie, Emma, Jaycee, Melissa, Hannah, Joanna, Keleigh and Cheyenne. Just to name a few. I know I’ve left some out and probably spelled names wrong. I sure hope their employer knows how fortunate he is to have great staff. Never met the cooks but they do an excellent job of preparing the food. The ribs are the best I’m ever had. I’d give more stars if possible
Most of the time I order the BBQ pork plate , Whew , none better. Yesterday the Hamburger Steak with onions overload. A lot of folks order the fried chicken or catfish. Everything on the menu is great , prices are very reasonable and always great service !
I came to this restaurant 2 days ago to meet up with some friends to eat in this location at 1:00 which we decided to eat here. It was our first time being here after the past few years every so often being always packed. To start with our orders I had the pork meat plate with sides while my parents and friends had the Mondays special which was the meatloaf and choice of sides. Next time I’ll listen to advice and have the daily special due to the total of much my plate came out. My plate was great, the pork was plenty in the plate and as for the sides also the same. My parents and friends all enjoyed what they had. The cornbread which they had was quite big but felt they couldn’t eat everything with the inclusion of the rest of the food. They give big quantity in this place. It was a good experience coming here
