So I decided to finally try this place. Everything is Ala carte.
I ordered two slices of fatty brisket, four pork ribs and a hot link. With mild sauce with a touch of hot sauce added and two sides, Cole slaw and potato salad.

Sausage link: 5/5 seasoned and cooked well with your choice of sauce.

Brisket chili: 3/5 chunky full of meat but lacks flavor.
