The food here is incredibly flavorful and fresh, with massive portions that satisfy every craving-especially the ribs, fries, and pulled pork sandwiches, which are absolute standouts. Despite its humble appearance, the attentive and friendly staff make each visit enjoyable, handling busy times with ease and even remembering my usual order, making this a weekly indulgence I truly look forward to.

My daughter absolutely loves this restaurant, and I share her enthusiasm for its delicious, fresh food, massive portions, and outstanding service, making it a regular destination for us, especially for their incredible ribs and fries, which are among the best I've ever had, all while enjoying a dog-friendly atmosphere and the attentiveness of the lovely staff.
