Super delicious pork! The staff is incredibly friendly. They even have an awesome bar. I very much recommend the fried pickles.

Got food to go, order was 100% right. Food was great and the green beans were the best green beans I've had. Maybe its just my personal taste but I loved it and they are very nice people as well!

Tried this place for the first time. I like to try different places since I'm from out of town. Their sausage was very juicy and tender. I got the bbq plate and had 2 sides. The okra was very fresh and not soiled in oil. I really liked their sauces as well. Their hush puppies was the bomb! Our waitress was very nice and was very attentive. Very great experience. Only disappointment was I didn't know the cheese fries was extra.

The food was excellent and then service was friendly and helpful. We tried two combo platters so we could sample. The grilled chicken was moist and the sauce had a nice kick. The ribs were tender and succulent. The pulled pork had a good smoke flavor coming through the sauce. But the brisket- holy cow! It was amazing! I would highly recommend it. The hush puppies were very good, too. Went again and the brisket is still excellent. The fried okra was crispy and hot, really good. I know I can count on 521 to be consistently good!

Went at about 4pm and there was only 1 other couple in the restaurant. 1st pic is pulled chicken tray with 2 sides for 14.95 USD. 2nd pic is combo platter with brisket and pulled pork 2 sides for 19.49. 3rd pic is hush puppies with dipping butter. Casual relaxed atmosphere, waitress excellent!

Stopped in tonight for the first time based on word of mouth, and were surprised, we were a little nervous because it seemed slow for a Sat night, but we were coming in about an hour before close so that might have been it. Our group had ribs, pork chops, and the BBQ platter as well as the appetizer sampler. Everything was great, and the server was awesome - even though we came in within an hour of closing, we never felt rushed and she was super attentive and helpful. No complaints, and we'll be back.

We were told to come here by a client for the best ribs ever. They did not disappoint with the ribs for sure, however they wouldn’t be the best I’ve ever eaten. Now the fried pickles on the other hand were in the top 2 I’ve ever had for sure. The only thing that was disappointing was that they were sold out of Pork and Brisket when we arrived and we wanted to at least sample each of those. Service was really good and the place was super clean.
