The smoke that fills your nostrils as you pull into the parking lot tells you your belly will be delighted. Great flavors from the meats and the choice of two sauces will makes anyone come back for more. As I ravaged my plate of heaven I thought I should take pictures so my 5 followers can see this magnificent display. I almost couldn't put the food down to get my phone.
One of my favorite BBQ spots! Very flavorful and tender meats. Also loved every single side we got including the mac n cheese, coleslaw, and the beans. We got the meat sampler where you’re also allowed to swap the neats to ones you prefer. The bone in chicken was so juicy and tender. Loved the pulled pork on the bread. Their sauces are heavenly and you get to enjoy them with everything you order. The ribs are so nicely cooked too. Will definitely be back!
Shorty’s True American Roadhouse in Toledo. Solid barbecue! Ribs, sausage, onion strings and corn muffin. My buddy had a snickers cobbler. I had a couple bites. Yum
