    When the front line was very busy, Andrew from the kitchen stepped up and started taking orders. Andrew took the time to ask me how is my meal and showed courtesy to the customers. The slice brisket sandwich was delicious.

    The Loaded Elotes is terrible. It looks nothing like the picture. Imaging a couple of spoonfuls brisket mixed with white creamed corn. There was no red, yellow or green. Thats all you get, and the portion size is very small compared to the picture. Not much for about $18 bucks.

    Went in on a Sunday afternoon to grab some lunch. Ordered sandwich, fried okra, nachos and two drinks. When my food came my sandwich didn’t have lean brisket like I ordered, then when asked for my cups. The lady asked for my receipt as if I didn’t purchase the drinks. On the screen it clearly had I purchased the drinks. Then another woman walked up and asked for her cup and wasn’t asked for her receipt! The two women were really rude about it.
