The restaurant has exterior seating and interior seating. The interior design of the restaurant is modern diner, with booths and a bar. Ordering is done at the bar. There are a few options for plates and sandwiches, but otherwise pulled pork is sold by the pound and sides are sold in 8oz, 16oz, and 32oz quantities. The meat was extremely tender and there were multiple options for the BBQ sauces. Some of the sides, like the smoked poblano pinto beans and the mustard based coleslaw were unique. Everything was flavorful and delicious and the owner was very attentive.
