I ordered a pulled chicken sandwich, accompanied by fries and onion rings. The sauce on the pulled chicken was among the best I've ever tasted. The place wasn't crowded during the weekday lunch hours, and there was plenty of parking available. I experienced quick service and truly enjoyed the food.

You’ll need both hands to handle it, and if you set it down, be prepared to grab a fork. Considering dessert? If you opt for the jumbo size, be warned that you might not have room for much else afterward. Absolutely delicious!

I thought the one little roll was not nearly enough given that I had both a sasuage and pulled pork. My ribs were mixed dry and wet. I preferred the dry but they were both delicious. If you can tell from the pulled pork, it was not the best. The experience was nice and inviting. The tables inside are all spaced out and there is lots of room. The staff are nice but the space is a little dingy (To be expected of a high trafficked space).
