The owner and employees were lovely. The sides were amazing and the meat was great too. They have an outdoor patio. Get the peanut butter pie! They make it all right there. Just go!
Delish! Love the cornbread!
I’ve been here several times and absolutely love the food. This time was a bit different and I’m not sure what happened, but the ribs were literally about half the size as they normally serve. It’s usually hard to even close the to-go plate bc they’re so large, but I knew it felt different as soon as the lady handed me the bag and it was soooooo light. Hopefully this was just a one off.
