Food was good 👍🏼 portions were standard, the customer base was awesome! We sat at different tables but everyone was talking... kinda like if an episode of cheers was shot in a BBQ joint. I was in town for work. When work brings me back, i will eat and hopefully bump into the same kind souls again.

best bbq i’ve had since moving to california from the south. sides are a bit on the smaller side for the price but the meat was piled high! Tasted phenomenal. Currently eating my leftovers as I type, lol.

Got the bbq brisket sandwich, mac n cheese, greens, baked beans, potato salad, corn bread, and pork ribs. Not a single complaint about quality. Will be back to try those nachos!

I’m from Memphis and I felt like this establishment was being back home. Great barbecue sauce I had the Pulled chicken barbecue sandwich and it was phenomenal. Even got sweet tea and free ice cream at the end.
