We were driving from LA to San Diego and we got hungry and we arrived at this restaurant completely on luck. As it seemed we were very lucky because we had the best brisket and ribs of our life's.

Don't be scared to stop in here, grab a stiff drink, and eat some ribs! It looks sketch, but it's really a neighborhood gem!

Great old school vibe, live music, friendly service & tasty bbq! This is the type of small family business I love to support, way better than some trendy franchised restaurant. If the walls could talk, I’m sure they’d have some great stories to tell!

Doesn’t get worse than this filthy hole. Got up and walked out after zero customer service.

Open mic on Tuesdays is a must go to! EVERYONE is so friendly and welcoming especially Neda. She is the best host and never fails to greet us with a big smile and open arms! As for the food- let’s just say it pairs very well with the great service! Cheers!

Always a fun crowd. The open mic night is a great opportunity for new musicians. OK Taco Tuesday specials. Neda is a great host.

Live music was fun. Nothing special about this joint. However, it is a throwback of the wild wild west in the sense that everything was old and rugged. ?
