Excellent BBQ at a very reasonable price. Service has always been good.
Gem of a bar with great barbecue, friendly staff, and a lovely atmosphere. Love that there's a dance floor, and lesser known country music is played in the background.
Great place to eat, dance, drink and play pool and video poker. Great bbq also.
