Great food will help you if your in a Jam with catering

Fantastic food! Pulled pork with slaw was fantastic. I didn’t think I would like the flatbread for BBQ but it was actually really good! I’ve had true southern BBQ several times in my life and while this isn’t quite the real deal it’s just about the best in this area. Service was quick and the worker was very friendly. On top of that, the price was 1/2 or less than an equivalent BBQ place around here. Will be back to try the rest of the menu.

Although the food was not great, it wasn't terrible. What got me was the serving size and price. It doesn't take a ton of food to satisfy me, which is fine that it was small. Just wish it was better. Chicken tasted sour, potato salad was good got very small amounts of both and it was close to $30

Medium and large Mac bowls were the same size. Mediocre flavor in the pork and beef unfortunately.

Their Turkey Jubilee Salad is awesome. Plenty of turkey, walnuts, cucumbers, dried cherries, delicious fruity dressing, and really crisp romaine lettuce. I drive from the Lansing Airport area to get this salad.

The Mac n cheese was incredibly overcooked to the point that the noodles were disintegrating into the velveeta cheese they were cooked in. The beans had to be from a can and the coleslaw had zero flavor. The sauce had very little taste but was the edible part of the experience. Wouldn’t recommend.

Stopped by for lunch, was greeted, and took my order quickly.
The restaurant was clean with plenty of seating. The guy who took my order was pleasant with a positive attitude.
My Cuban came out quickly, all sandwiches are on pita bread, mine had ham, pulled pork, pickles slaw, and cheese. Great price at only $7. I will be back!!.

Coleslaw had dressing. When I called to suggest stirring before serving the gentleman insisted I was wrong
