Fire, Smoke, and Serious Flavor
Low flames. Long hours. Deep, rich character in every bite. This is barbecue done with patience and precision.

The food it’s actually really good, they serve fast with also great service, price is fair, nice environment, family oriented, they support Military, Law enforcement etc I think that's a nice detail… really comfy chairs as well. Will come back to get food when am around, highly recommend!
First time at this BBQ joint but not the last. Our waitress Michelle was great. So very friendly. We were offered a sampler of their favorite sides, so picking ours with our dinners wasn't so hard to do, since they have so many to choose from. This place is definitely worth a drive and indulge in some great BBQ.
The food here is outstanding! If you are visiting for the first time. Your waitress will offer a small tasting of their delicious side dishes. The prime rib I had was cooked perfectly. I also recommend trying the garlic pretzels! During dinner the owner and chef walked out into the dining room. He made a point to visit everyone making sure they were happy with their food. I was able to talk with Bob for a few minutes. It was nice to meet the person actually making the food! I can’t wait to visit again. So I can try the rest of the menu.
