We came here early for lunch while passing through. The food was phenomenal!! The service was great and she had some funny jokes. I cannot express how delicious the brisket was!! And the portion sizes we great. I’m so upset this place is 4 hours away. I’d definitely be a regular! I definitely recommend! I’m not usually one for smoked food or BBQ, try this place!
