The employees were especially helpful with the ordering process and recommendations. Very friendly. The food was excellent and plentiful. We got the meal for 3-4 that consisted of ribs, brisket, pulled pork, chicken, 4 sides and bread. The two of us ate on it for 3 meals. Will go back whenever we are in that area again.
