I'm ready for a nap. I'm full to the brim yall. I had a pulled pork sammich with slaw on the side. Thank you, Greg. He said, oughta try it. And I did. I will never have pulled pork undressed again. I loved it. Did I say this one sammich got me stuffed. My hubby had the bbq dog. Oh yall, he's ready for nap time, too. They were both piled to the max with meat. The price is right. Maybe a little low for them portions were getting. It's small it's a pickup only. It's hittin all the right points. We will return. They have Miss Nana. Miss T and Greg. Come on come in. Say hi. Eat. Then sleep.

The only issue was keeping myself from jumping over the counter and stuffing my face like a maniac. The smell was wonderful, people nice and food was fantastic. I opened the box and was thrilled with the amount of food. Then I noticed the 2nd layer of ribs and almost cried tears of joy. I might have to move here

Small place that doesn't look like much on the outside but they have delicious food. We were there on the last day of our trip, wish we would have found it sooner. Excellent food at a great value.
