Either I get older and can't eat so much or they give big portions I think it's both) The brisket was nicely smokey and fat. My only complaint is that it was chopped, not cut. The smoke taste is still in my mouth, as I type this. The ribs were fine, not the best, but the worst. Everything else was good. I liked the bacon in the potato salad and the corn in the chilli. All for $20. And I have enough for lunch tomorrow

Mine was called Killer Pastrami Combo It was delicious. My Pastrami Sandwich combo was bomb. Frys and Sweet Tea was the final touch. My daughter ordered the Pastrami Burger Combo. She said it was delicious and she ordered a page of Fried Pickles that looked like normal French pommes and some chili beans... She said they were sharp, but good. My Hubby ordered a kind of salad. Not sure what kind, but he said it tastes really good. And he ordered a side dish Chili Beans Cornbread. Both were sharp, but he ate them. He usually doesn't eat spicy things. [JUST A WARN ON CORREAD AND KILI BEANS] But he said they were good. They had a dessert case right in front of Cheese Cake, Cakes and Cookies. Of course we ordered about 3 desserts before we go home. Place was large and beautifully decorated and quiet. People were kind. When we get back to the city, they'll be sure to check again. Thank you.

Delicious, delicate with exactly the right amount of fat. Will definitely be back when I have to come to Taft.

Burger had no taste and the pulled pig was decent, but the bbq sauce she gave you for a hot sandwich was cold refrigerator. When we go back, we definitely order the pastrami.

The staff is great and the food is even better. The tri tip was wonderful and my daughter got the Cuban. It's an older building and the air doesn't work well, so if you are hot natured, you may want to get it to go. It was hot, but the friendliness of the staff and the good food made it better. If you’re from the South like we are, they have sweet tea!!!!
