Best pork steaks around! Super friendly staff and perfect portion sizes!
excellent food. Great customer service. the pork steaks are good !!
Stopped by finally to try the pork steaks, unfortunately for me they sold out right before our visit (but a very good problem to have). We pivoted and tried the turkey and brisket…dee lish shush! The Mac n cheese was creamy but the potato salad…try it! We will make the trip again, 100%, to chase the famous pork steaks😉
