Chose the salmon sandwich with mustard sauce based upon another review, and it was spectacular!The bun was thinner, moist, soft and the PERFECT compliment to the meat. The mustard sauce had just the right abount of kick.My bf ordered the chips, and Brisket Queso...chips (fried fresh onsite) were a tasty... EXCELLENT...warm, on the thinner side with just a hint of sweet and slightly salted to perfection. The QUESO dips was on the lighter sideAtmosphere was a 4 because it presents a little stark. Fluorescent lighting and church benches for booths... small bar at the entrance separate from dining room. Lots of TVs to watch the game.Food was unexpectedly a 5 star experience! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!Parking: Parkibg is immediately outside the front door. We came around 315pm...plenty of spots

Stopped in on a small day trip into the area and fell in love with this place. Every single staff member was so kind and welcoming. The food came out fast and was delicious. The pulled pork was incredible and so was the brisket queso. Would drive the hour back here just to come again.

I had the 21st ammendment IPA and the brisket sandwich both were fantastic. I will go there again.

The meat is always delicious. The service is always friendly and prompt. The booths manage to let it be quiet enough to hear your conversation even in a crowded busy restaurant. They do a great job of allowing the folks who like it spicy to enjoy it spicy, but ALSO have an excellent sauce for those of us who cannot tolerate the spicy stuff. (Alas, I have to function at spice level 0). This makes it great for a group with a range of taste palates. So why don't I give five stars? Because there really aren't any options for fresh green vegetables. I know that many folks like their green beans to have been augmented by bacon, but when I'm eating that much brisket and ribs etc, I want a balanced vegg w/o the meat on it. There are many times when I choose to go elsewhere because I know I can't get a simple vegg w/ neither spice nor meat. (steamed broccoli? steamed green beans without the bacon juice?) One can always add things to veggies - but once they're cooked in, you can't take them out.

Love the burn end. You have to go early to get this dish. Overall food is tasty. Service is good.

Pablo Otero

Everything is very good in general, the food and service, just a suggestion, if you order an appetizer and a main course, the latter has to come after finishing the appetizer, and not have the two dishes come out almost together and you have to eat at the same time. those in a hurry or cold.
