TNT was the staple this town needed. There weren’t many options before. Great food, friendly happy staff, and a cute little restaurant. Best baked beans ever!

Excellent! I had the pork steak and added two ribs. The ribs fell off the bone and had excellent flavor, the pork steak I could cut with my fork. I had the baked beans and chips. The baked beans and chips are both good. I just wish we lived closer so I could enjoy them more. But when we are in the area we will be going back.

We were just passing through and saw this had good reviews, so we decided to give it a shot. It was fast service and great food! They did make a small mistake on the order but insisted that they rectify it by offering us a free desert. It was nice seeing the small town hospitality be a part of the modern business world. We will return whenever we get a chance!

We enjoyed a great BBQ sampler meal at TNT Smokehouse. I recommend the Mac N Cheese Jalapeño bites and fall off the bone ribs.

The food is awesome. I had the catfish dinner with bake beans and okra. The service was super nice. It is kind of a small dining area , but they are adding a bigger area, as you can see in the pictures. They also have an RV park.
