Crispy Stop has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Brisket Plate but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Smoked Ribs and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
Great bbq option for the area. The Burnt Ends 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.
Solid spot. The Pulled Pork Sandwich is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
