"I know why Heaven is in the name of this establishment. The service from the Hatchett's went above and beyond my expectations. My brother is terminally ill and requested turkey wings for Thanksgiving this year. I called around to so many places and not one of them had them on the menu. When I contacted Mekka she must have heard the desperation in my voice and acted. I am soo grateful for her and her husband. They graciously responded to the request and went as far as to deliver the wings on Thanksgiving day to ensure my brother's wish came true. When I unwrapped the food for him, his eyes lit up. Our guests said the turkey wings were delicious! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Please don't hesitate to try their food, and by all means, witness their hearts."

"If you're hunting down bold flavors, tender meats, and the kind of smoky aroma that hits you before you even spot the truck Heavenly BBQ is your new go-to BBQ fix. From the moment I pulled up, the smell of slow-smoke rib tips and chicken drew a small but eager crowd. The menu isn't massive, but every item is clearly made with care. - Melinda"
