We loved our food, but had an unpleasant experience with a worker...

Good food at a good price. Small seating area and it gets crowded fast but the service was prompt

I don't have the words to say how much I love this place. When they first announced this location, I stopped by at least twice a week for a couple of months to see if they were open.

He told his little boy to say hello and he ran up and gave me a hug! When they did open they exceeded all my expectations. Great ribs and rib tips with an amazing char and flavor... read more
