Reopened exactly a week ago today! So needing to take a lunch I had to stop in. The dip is amazing as is the brisket mac & cheese, and the pulled pork sandwich. Stan and Jhon are the BEST!!!!

Brad Parker is a really tremendous server, attentive, helpful, and personable! The baby back ribs were the best ever! Didn't even need the knife to cut them, and the sauce was exquisite!
