    The pulled pork was really good as was the chili and fried pickles. I wish the plate came with a biscuit instead of a Hawaiian roll but that was the only real complaint.

    Food and service was amazing. Prices were great for the amount of food. The biscuits were to die for, yum! It was a bit loud for talking even with a small group. We would definitely go back.

    Busy there today and it affected food quality. Waiter was not as good as they usually are. We mentioned French toast was cold, and all he said was was “I’m sorry” without resolution.
