Great bbq option for the area. The Cornbread was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Cornbread was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Pulled Pork Sandwich was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
Mixed feelings. The Burnt Ends was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
