Was happy to find an option for party packs meat for 6, buns, and a side of slaw. Party pack pricing was excellent and far cheaper than ordering separate sandwiches. We had pulled pork and our family of 5 ate it all comfortably. The slaw side was tiny and a little more vinegary tasting than we prefer. I also order a large side of mac n cheese not really a family sharing size, but we thought the mac n cheese was tasty. The pulled pork was ok, nothing special and lots of fatty pieces. The buns were grocery store white buns less than special. The best part of our meal was the desserts a very rich piece of peanut butter pie and the banana pudding. Very easy to walk to from the National Civil Rights museum. Free parking in the museum lot or on the street. Line stretched out the door when we left.

It is a polish style rather than link style, and it was FULL of flavor.We ordered the wet ribs over the dry ribs, and to be honest they weren't our favorite. They were good, just not our preferred ribs.We LOVED the bologna and the nachos were great.The Mac n cheese and potatoes salad were very good sides. We enjoyed all of the sauces each having a great flavor and unique flavor. The sweet tea was good.
