I know this isn't normally a thing one would get at a BBQ joint, but it was delicious. I had been jonesing for some meatloaf for a little bit and this hit the spot excellently. The coleslaw was not too creamy, which I prefer, and the green beans where not bad. That meatloaf though, I'll go back just for that. Advice: go for the dinner as it is about a dollar more than a sandwich and comes with two sides instead of one. Worth the extra money.

Disappointed to find you can't order from the regular menu on Sunday before 1pm, only "brunch tacos" available. These were not bad, but would have preferred to order a sandwich or plate. No diet soft drinks or ice tea available, had to drink water. Surprised smoked turkey not offered, a staple of the barbeque joints I've frequented in Texas over the years. Very nice restaurant however, service was friendly and quick.Would go back again to try the regular menu items if I'm in the area.

We waited a long long time to get our dinner. Not sure if they were short handed because the place was not busy. The waitress did her best to keep us informed. You could tell she was almost embarrassed it was taking so long. Once the food did come out it was great. Might try again but not sure.

Over a period of four weeks we were visiting four different rib houses to determine which one we liked best. This one would be ranked second. The server was efficient and friendly. Nice atmosphere. My cabbage roll dinner was outstanding. My husband's ribs were okay -- a bit difficult to get off of the bone and not real, real tasty. We will definitely return again -- but, not necessarily for the ribs. I would definitely return for the cabbage roll and to try other items on the menu. Not sure why we have not visited this location in the past.
