The server only had one table. So I thought great service. I ordered a chopped pork sandwich. Server brought out was ribs I told him that was ok. Big mistake overcooked dried out second hand ribs. Something someone else didn't want just horrible. I would compare this to pork jerky if there is such a thing. My guest ordered a baked potato with brisket it came with one slice of dried out brisket that was chopped up thought it was bacon at first. Management was in the kitchen...

So seated in the bar area and the dining bench I sat in is not properly bolted to floor. The bench almost went off an approx 2 inch drop with me in it. The server said he mentioned it to the manager..so hope the manager listens and it gets fixed..or remove the bench.

Don't let the exterior fool ya. Inside this place is packed with goodness 😳
Friday was surprisingly open seating and service was exceptional 👌
Lots of menu variety even for picky eaters. Hey, this is BBQ so expect nothing but flavor and finger lickin'. 😋
Highly recommend lunch or happy hours 3-6p M-F.
