This Southern-style barbecue joint offers a mix of country and classy atmosphere. Menu highlights include Nanny's potato salad, Italian-style green beans, and delicious turkey ribs, which are favorites among many customers. The smoked bologna is also a hit, with visitors raving about the smoked bologna sandwich. The ribs are soft and melt in the mouth, while the brisket has an amazing smoky taste, making it a must-visit for BBQ lovers. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, and the staff, especially Ari, often go above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable. Some customers have traveled long distances just to try the food and have returned multiple times, enjoying the atmosphere, service, and food each visit. The restaurant is also a popular choice for events, with staff providing great catering, including appetizers, leftover boxes, and cleanup assistance, making it a versatile spot for special occasions. While service can sometimes be slow, the friendly and patient servers create a memorable dining experience, and many guests appreciate the genuine attentiveness of the staff.
