Fodor's Review:

Big portions of deliciously dripping barbecue are dispensed at this handy spot for eat-in or takeout, south of the New River Tunnel and north of the 17th Street Causeway. Think you don't have time to stop? Roll down your window and inhale on the way by, and you're likely to change your mind. Furnishings include an old Singer sewing machine and a wringer washer, and diners partake at picnic-style tables. Side dishes with dinners for around $10 include baked beans, collards, and mighty tasty macaroni and cheese. For lunch, Tom's pork, beef, and catfish sandwiches are a surefire shortcut to satisfaction. Leave room for sweet-potato pie or apple cobbler.
