We always seek out local bbq restaurants. This was excellent. Brisket was amazing. Sauces were delicious.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu and coloring sheet available. My kids enjoyed chicken nuggets that were not the frozen kind.

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.

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.

Pulled into the parking lot and there was only 1 car there. I should of took that as a sign to leave. Ribs were horrible dry andabsolutely no flavor. And the price was ridiculous.
