    Didn’t have the lean brisket that I wanted. The food was warm, not hot. The Customer Service was OK, but could’ve been a little bit more friendlier and pay attention to me as a customer and not the other associates around him. The pricing was also very deceptive. I thought I was paying $14 for a two meat plate and had to go back to realize it was $14-$25, the associate could’ve explained the price and the differences.
