Patron this establishment every so often and decided to stop by after work. Love their bbq...only issue I had (and I really hate this) was with the person fixing my order not washing his hands after he rubbed his eye (he said smoke was in his eye)...I mentioned it and another worker fixed me a new order...as much as I Love it....I won't be back....:-(
