Had the half rack with their hot BBQ sauce . The ribs were good, but I prefer ribs more tender and fall off the bone. These were less than tender and had crispy bark. The BBQ sauce was excellent.

For her chopped pork sandwich , chef Payne smokes pork shoulders and then dices hunks to order, incorporating plenty of outside brown bits for contrast. Read more

Fantastic BBQ . The pulled pork sandwich had great smoke. Get it chopped - it's topped with the neon yellow slaw and sauce. Smoked sausage is deep fried, crispy , and delicious. Their sauce is decent.
