Very fresh and flavorful. 4 piece platter fed 2.5 adults. Brisket and pulled pork was my favorite.

For being a small barbecue restaurant it had amazing tasting chicken wings just the right amount of crispiness My crew and I stopped there for lunch was not sure how fast it would be because we get 30 minutes for lunch And we got our lunch very quick The establishment was kept very nice and neet if I am working in the area again I will definitely stop for lunch again or dinner...

I have been coming here for over two years, twice a month. Recipes have changed slightly so the Mac and cheese may not always be the same, but the food is still amazing. Recommend the brisket tacos!
