From CreativeLoafing.com:
"Just west of I-285, the restaurant looks like something between a ranch house and a fast-food joint. For fans looking expecting souvenirs and memorabilia from wrestling's yesteryear, good luck. While there are some framed pictures of Abdullah in various bloodthirsty poses, and two heavyweight belts hung in a separate dining area, the restaurant is dominated by rickety tabletops and a steam bar. The best attraction is Shreve, who is usually present -- and pleasant. He kindly thanks people for coming and eating, hanging out in the dining area smiling and answering questions in his sweet voice.
Barbecue selections are kept simple: Ribs, rib tips and chicken. The ribs are smoked in a small building next to the main structure. Thankfully, the rib meat is soft, pink and tender. But it comes drenched in a smotheringly sweet, tomato-based sauce that tastes uncomfortably store-bought and lacks any hint of authenticity. And while the rib tips are a little easier to handle than the ribs since a fork is employed, forget trying to keep clean with the quartered chicken. Sides included a moist, cheesy mac and cheese and some kick-ass collards. The collards were not too mushy and served nearly whole, with red peppers thrown in for flavor. A splash of peppered vinegar, and you're in business."
