The food was absolutely spectacular. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone passing through this area. Definitely, try the corn bacon chowder. It was out of this world.

Val and I stopped by yesterday and had a great meal Brisket Hoagie!

This place has fantastic barbecue. We had the brisket hoagie which was to die for. We loved it so much. we took home a few pounds for later. The staff is wonderful. We will definitely be dining there again!
