"I had been to this location previously and absolutely loved it! I then decided that for my husband's birthday that I would throw a surprise dinner for him here with 8-10 people coming to the restaurant all from out of town. I made my reservations 2 weeks in advance for 7:15 PM for a party of 8 when at 5 PM that day, I get a phone call telling me that they've experienced an "emergency" and are going to have to be closed for the next 2 days which of course had me scrambling to find another restaurant in only 2 hours for a large party. When I asked TPS if they would provide future complimentary accommodations, they told me no. Go to The Big Easy instead!"

"Drove out there from N Raleigh based on the reviews but arrived to find the doors padlocked shut and several other potential guests standing outside as well. Ended up returning to N Raleigh and dining closer to home."

"A great place for small to moderate group lunch. The lunch specials provided an excellent selection including vegan. Some "weight Watchers" were also pleased with the menu.
Thanks for providing a neighborhood resource for fellowship after our Mid-day Bible Study Group."

"Staff was very friendly, the side dishes were fantastic and the ribs were real good. But, the brisket an pulled pork were flavorless and dry."
