This place has the most amazing bbq!!! The people here are very friendly
A true hole-in-the-wall place with the meat being cooked on a small, backyard sized grill/smoker. Sadly, this means that things like burnt ends or brisket are often not available. However, the meats are to die for.
PROS:
Ambiance - I appreciate the mom-and-pop, hole-in-the-wall atmoshere
Meat - awesome! Good flavor, falling apart tender
Price - I had the sampler, good value for the money, everything is priced reasonably, best pulled pork sandwhich I have ever had
CONS:
Ambiance - don't plan on eating there, they only have a couple of small folding tables outside next to the grill, as in, reach out and touch the grill
Meat - disappointing how quick they run out of things
Sauce - I had the sampler and the sauce overwhelmed the meat on the pork steak and ribs. Would have been better with half the sauce with the sauce having had a chance to carmelize on the grill a little bit; also, seemed a bit too much like spicy ketchup than bbq sauce but nice afterburn without being too strong.
Overall, I recommend calling ahead to place your order, to make sure they have what you want.
Also, INVESTOR NEEDED! With just a little capital invested in infrastructure: bigger smoker, space for indoor tables, and maybe a couple more employees (a kitchen assistant and a server) and this place would be rockin'!
We Didn't Dine IN, But The Curb Service Was Great. I Had Never Had Pulled Pork But It Was Great, Sauce Was Delicious. We Had The Sampler With Ribs, Pulled Pork Sandwich And Piece Of Pork Steak It Was Delicious. Not Too Expensive Either. 😋😋👌🏾
Brisket melted in my mouth.... ribs were absolutely delicious.... this place has 3 tables, so it's very comfortable... food is made when ordered, so expect a wait, but it's absolutely worth it!!
