Had an order of the most tender rib tips I've ever had in my life! The fries taste like they are made of actual potatoes, and the barbecue sauce could easily be in the top three sauces I've ever had!

Gotta be honest I wasn't convinced after some reviews but I was more than satisfied. I ordered their ten dollar ribs and was held over for the rest of the night. That's not even mentioning how fast it was served.If you are out on a long drive and need to make a quick stop for some dinner, I recommend it.
