This place kicks the crap out of famous Daves. It's been awhile since I had been back and did not see any familiar faces, the gal taking orders looked annoyed to be taking orders and I will say the portions of our bowls have definitely been made smaller. The container was about 1/2 full compared to the last time I had been in. Still very good food.

I have dined at this location several times and can say they give consistent fast service with a smile. You can smell the food from just outside the door - always a good sign of a great BBQ place.

This place offers are your standard BBQ options. It does get pricey when there with a group. I would note the prices are consistent with food portions so no issue there.

We've had the food several times in the past, always great. But this weekend their service was spectacular! Accidentally approved the wrong date for catering and they stepped up to get it all ready at the drop of a hat. 101st Birthday party saved!
