went there for coffee, but coffee shop is closed. Had some amazing BBQ!! Moist, tender, dripping in sauce. Not a good day to wear white, but highly recommend.

Im very very picky... but this is... Good barbeque... Smokey flavor and seasoned lightly so you can taste the smoke flavor... So far I've only tried the tips sandwich...but each order was very heavy in weight...
