Get the sweet potato fries instead of regular fries. The latter tastes so bland.

Yes they are known for the BBQ sauce but the smokey ranch is to die for. Get it with wings.
Alex PyatetskyJuly 9, 2018
Very sauce dependent BBQ and sauces are all v sweet. Wings and ribs were surprisingly better than brisket and burnt ends (skip those). Not a bad place, but when Smoque and Green St exist, why?

If they seat you early make sure someone gets assigned to your table. We left after 15 minutes of being ignored as everyone around us ordered.
