The food is always hot and ready unless it's Mother's day weekend but that's to be expected. 90% of the time they get your order correct in the bag whichisn't bad odds. The pork BBQ is delicious and all sides are rather large in serving and made well. We will remain 17th Streetcustomers for the foreseeable future.

The pimento cheese was unappetizing and negatively affected the burger I ordered. The highlight of the meal was definitely the fried pickles; they were lightly battered and paired well with the delicious ranch dressing. While the ribs had great flavor, the baked beans tasted like they were straight from a can. The service was good, but it felt like a long wait for food that was only average.

Sides are all 3—4$ My date and I spent 75$ ….not including a tip….on a full rack of ribs. Half rack of ribs and 4 side dishes, tea and one coors light. We won’t be back….dinner for 2 shouldn’t cost 75$ at a rib joint. Service was ok, nothing special.
