The brisket grilled cheese sandwich special was particularly amazing.I will 100% be stopping here again when I am in the area, and recommend you do as well.

The staff was fantastic and their recommendations were outstanding. The small outdoor seating area was perfect for enjoying a meal after a day-long wine event in the town of Murphy's across the street. The restaurant is easy to locate, as it is situated on the same property as a gas station. Simply follow the scent of the outdoor BBQ smoker to find your way there.

We did the tri tip and pulled pork. The meats were very tasty, but I was a little disappointed in the portion size which I felt was a bit small for the price. It comes dry with a side of barbecue sauce, and a single portion of beans and coleslaw. No bread.The sauce was very interesting very tomatoey. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious, but all I could think was how much better it would be on an angel hair pasta or ravioli. Potato salad was a bit bland but the coleslaw was a pleasant surprise. On a scale of 1 to 10, my husband hates coleslaw, but he LOVED this! So I can't give it a higher rating than that! LOL The beans were good, on the sweet side. I have to say however, my favorite thing on the plate was the bright pink pickled onions! They were absolutely delicious! The tissue thin sliced pickles were also quite a treat.Be warned: there is no indoor dining here and seating is very limited. They have big barrel tables with tall seats, which is a challenge for hobbits such as myself. But I found the tables were high enough that I could eat standing as well. The smoker is right out in front, so you will be able to get good and hungry before the food arrive!
