ordered the meat sampler, esquites, chili, green beans, and fried ribs and they were all superb. The white bbq sauce is unlike any i’ve had before, which is the highest compliment. the house bbq is also damn good. for dessert i tried the banana pudding, which was light and tasty and full of fresh bananas. Grace, who walked me through the menu, was so pleasant, warm, and helpful as it was my first time visiting. huge shout out to her and the chefs!

We were looking for some good bbq and this place had great reviews so we gave it a try!!! It definitely did not disappoint!!! We ordered the brisket sandwich and their version of the French dip. We got it to go and the food was warm and delicious!! I didnt even use any of sauces as the meat was cooked to perfection and so flavorful!!!! Definitely check this place out if youre in the city!!!!
