    Good Togo service. Bbq is great and so are the sides. It's gotten a bit expensive but everything it nowadays.

    Just picked my order To Go, Beef 3/4 lb & 3 beef rib with potato. Beef brisket very good & Beef ribs very bad, just huge bones no meat, not sure if that was 15 years old cow at death row, paid $ 29.85 just for the Ribs - have no time to drive back to show to the manager on duty probably he would agree that was not to be this way treating clients - sorry, will never ever order Ribs from you.
