    Burnt ends are delish but the quality has severely declined since it opened. Food was cold and flavorless today. Huge bummer. Won't be back.

    Tiny-ass sandwich to the tune of $14. The food is nothing to write home about either. Pretty much a rip-off! F this place!

    Food was okay. Not the best BBQ I've had. Also a little pricy.
