Loved the decor and ambiance, good music was playing and one of the owners that served us was very nice and friendly. This place should not of been empty on a Saturday evening. The food took a bit long and I was surprised to get my food in to go containers for dining in, but it worked out cause my portion size was very plentiful , I was able to eat twice off my meal. I ordered a combo with smoked chicken & brisket. The sauce was tasty and the brisket tender and delicious. When I have a BBQ craving I will definitely order again . My son ordered the fried chicken , and red kool aide he said it was crispy and tasty and the koolaide sweet . I hope to see this place stick around .
