My husband’s pulled pork sandwich didn’t have the same wonderful flavor we’ve come to expect; instead, it was rather mediocre. The beans lacked any hint of barbecue flavor, which is unusual for them. Additionally, we noticed that the price for a pulled pork sandwich has risen to $14, while a turkey sandwich costs $16. Although the portions are generous, these prices are higher than we're willing to pay for sandwiches. I hate to leave a negative review, but it’s been challenging to find them open at their usual hours.

I came across this place online and, since I was nearby, I thought I’d give it a try. When I pulled into the parking lot and saw just one car, I should have taken that as a warning. Unfortunately, the ribs were incredibly dry and completely lacked flavor. To make matters worse, the prices were outrageous.

I tried the Cuban sandwich and loaded potatoes, and both were incredible. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant was spotless. I can’t wait to come back!

The beans had no flavor of barbecue. This is not how it usually is. A pulledpork sandwich is now $14 and a turkey sandwich is $16. Even though the portions are plentiful, this is more than what we want tospend on sandwiches. I hate to make a bad comment, but it has been hard to find them open at times. I know that it is astruggle to keep staff. I also know that staff is not always treated well in the restaurant industry. I hope they can hang onbecause they have a good product. They're in a good location. We have been regular customers since they opened. I'm not surewe'll be back. At these prices, the food should be above fast-food quality.

Great food! This is a hidden gem. Portions are big and good is full of flavor. I really enjoy the wings. This time I ordered the Mac and cheese with pulled pork... read more Great food! This is a hidden gem. Portions are big and good is full of flavor. I really enjoy the wings. This time I ordered the Mac and cheese with pulled pork and it was FILLING! I had to take half home. The creamed corn it really good but I?d order themild next time, I really enjoy spicy but this was a bit much.
