Shout out to the best little potato salad maker east of the Rockies! Evie was an absolute delight and offered wonderful suggestions - ribs were fantastic and the brisket was moist and delicious. She personally makes the potato salad and it was outstanding. If you're in the mood for a load of Missouri hospitality, good food and decent prices, I highly recommend this spot. 10/10

Have been coming here since they first opened. \nJust a consistently good place to eat. \nUse to always order the pork plate but now I am a fan of their ribs, which are always tender. \nService is quick. \nOne of the few, truly good places to eat in town, in my opinion.

The food was okay, not like it used to be. Our server didnt smile, didnt joke, and I felt was kinda cranky when I asked a question about the food. I was disappointed, but wont let this one day keep me away.
The garlic toast was the best though!
