It’s really hard to find ok and good food since I moved to Washington (June 2024). Even though this wasn’t the best bbq I’ve had, I’m satisfied.

She was very nice, she was very helpful, she showed us what customer service should look like. I love the smile she kept on her face while serving us. Lynn was amazing! Thank you, the food was great...
