Yummy Rib Tips!!! Some of the best I’ve had. BBQ sauce could use a little work, mild a little less sweet, hot with way more tang would be delicious.

A BBQ joint, nothing fancy. Had the brisket and mild link combo. Brisket was super tender and moist. Link was tasty. My wife had pulled pork platter; it was very plentiful and was also excellent. Our first time here, we'll certainly be back.
