Today is 1/23, and the ice storm is predicted to hit our area the next night. I knew our staff would be working extra hours to meet customer demands while still looking after their family. I wanted to
Absolutely delighted that we accidentally found this small but cozy restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, full of Smokey flavor and the meat almost didn't need any BBQ sauce- it was just superb!
Great bbq. Friendly service. Limited seating but all in all it was a great experience
