Description:
This is a destination. It seems to be in the middle of nowhere. You will wonder if you’re in the right place, keep going, you’ll see it. It’s $2 to get in the door, this covers beverages. They also allow you to BYOB. Expect to wait. Get there early. You’ll be waiting outside in line, think you’re getting close, only to find a theme park style looping line inside. You, too, can experience the thrill of hoping your desired order doesn’t get marked off the board as you inch ever closer to the counter. For me, the brisket was the star, along with their unique sides. I hear if you want ribs, be there before opening. Only open Friday and Saturday evenings.
