    The smoke meats do not need barbecue sauce. Nice tender and juicy with a good smoked flavor. But their offered barbecue sauces do compliment the foods well. If you've never had smoked jackfruit, you got to try it. The pit beans definitely have a kick.

    We had our family Christmas dinner here with 8 people reservation made. They weren’t busy maybe 4 tables total when we got there. The service was not the best. Server didn’t really offer much info about food or specials knowing we have never been there. We had to get our own napkins and straws and had to ask multiple times for refills. We were not impressed with the food it arrived in a timely manner but was Lukewarm when we received it. Every piece of meet was so dry it was hard to eat. The best thing we got was potato salad. We also order our son a hot fudge Sunday that took 20 min to get to the table, Again the place was dead. After hunting down the server we finally got our checks. I felt bad for my family that I picked this pace and it was terrible from start to finish. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone in the future.

    I've never had a bad meal here and I'm one of those who likes to try something different every time. Recently tried the brunch and it was amazing!
