The dry ribs were amazing, served with sauce on the side, and the greens and baked beans were perfect accompaniments. I will definitely return and recommend this place to everyone I meet. This is hands down the spot to visit!

They didn't disappoint me; the rib tips were absolutely delicious and incredibly satisfying. I missed having yams this time, so I opted for baked beans instead, and they were simply scrumptious. Thank you for being so conveniently located!

We ordered a pound of brisket, but it wasn't tender at all, and unfortunately, it left an unpleasant aftertaste. We ended up leaving most of our food behind, feeling quite let down by the flavors. I usually love to support small businesses, and I know leaving an honest review is important, but this just didn’t suit our taste buds. Perhaps it might be better suited for others, but it wasn't for us.

They used thick challah bread instead. I won't be ordering sandwiches from this place anymore, though their other dishes are great. Food Rating: 3/5.
