    Call and order ahead for faster service, but the food was worth the wait!

    Love this place! Don't let the price drive you away. Also ask for extra bread:-)

    Put up with the rude service and you'll be rewarded with the best old-school BBQ in town. Oh, bring cash and don't try to eat their Rib Sandwich like a sandwich.

    Food is great, but every time I come here they don't have what I want, and the workers aren't very friendly. Perhaps the drive thru experience would be better.
