Seen this place here for YEARS but never actually ate here. You know what, LOVE IT! Had the 2 meat combo and it was Mmm delicioso. The BBQ sauce had the perfect amount of sweetnes and tang. Will definitely be back. P.S. sorry, no pics. I was too busy devouring the brisket, ribs, beans and potato salad I had. Lol

First time visiting, and looks the place have many regular customers. The menu is huge!, my original idea was to order a sandwich. But the person in front of me had a baked potato and it was love at first sight. I tried the Chopped beef potato. It came with butter, sour cream, and chives. It was perfectly cooked and all the ingredients melted together. A flavor party in the palate with every bite. A good place for a casual meaty lunch.
