What really impresses me about this restaurant is that the food is consistently good the service is consistently good for years and they give employees off Monday and Tuesday.No it doesnât have a wide ranging menu but what it has is good and I like it because you donât have to get huge meals my wife and I are both small eaters so she gets the Asian tacos and I get the small order of chicken wings with a side of potato salad total bill $21 and change highly recommend

We've been wanting to try out this BBQ. My hubs is rib snob. He loved them. Didn't love the cauliflower. The beans were good. Our group had chicken and mac n cheese. It was great trying the sauces. The brisket was good. And the bread pudding was delicious. Overall cool little place. Four of us the bill was $85. A little high. We ordered and took food to a picnic type table. Nice service.

this was the first time we had eaten at this restaurant, but had seen it had good reviews. The place is somewhat small and not fancy by any means. I ordered the "create your own" and had ribs and brisket and my wife had rib tips. I was surprised at how big the ribs were. Very generous portions and the food was delicious. If there was any negative, it was that the service was a little slow. There was only one server and she was pretty busy. Despite that she was still friendly and attentive.
