a bit disappointed. tacos were way too smokey for my taste. bacon wrapped jalapeños and mac & cheese were good. i also enjoyed the banana pudding! overall, would get again and try something else, just not the tacos.

This was my first visit to the Raleigh location on May 28, 2025 with two out of town guests. three diff dishes were ordered..brisket, St. Louis rubbed ribs and burnt ends. The brisket and burnt ends were amazing. The ribs however were dry and tough. The meat certainly did not fall off the bone. I would not recommend the ribs based on this experience.
