    Get your food to go by checking out the take-out line outside! It's faster than waiting in line!

    While the pulled pork is certainly a standard favorite, the ham on a sandwich is mighty tasty!

    I wouldn't call this the best BBQ in town. Decent but nothing special. Try the real root beer. Takes some getting used to if you are used to the mass produced stuff but still good

    Get a root beer float. Not much better than homemade root beer and ice cream.

    The stuffed potatoes are not to be forgotten. Filling by themselves. But you can add meat toppings.

    Everything here is pretty great, although their prices are a bit high. My personal favorites are the hot links and sauced brisket, with mac and cheese. Ribs aren't amazing b

    If you want a soda refill you have to be a jerk. Be prepared to have to cut in front of people if you want more soda. They refuse to add a second refill station.

    Meh. Average to middling food, no idea why there's a line out the door. We love BBQ but honestly you get a tiny piece of meat and a dry piece of toast, and even the root beer sucks. Sauce is decent.

    Average bbq sauce, meat cooked very well. Spicy bbq sauce not spicy. Too much money for what you get. 15-20% over priced. Profit is one thing but $2.35 for a bottle of soda?
