BUT when you find it you know what you've found and when you taste it you know.......Yeah, this is one of THOSE places! We had white beans, slaw and hoecakes. But they offer all the traditional sides like mac&cheese, greens, baked beans ext ... The slaw was homemade and delicious. The white beans were canned but seasoned up just right and the hoecake were a bit greasy but to me :) perfect!! Rick is the Pitmaster, Sherry will probably take your order and ring ya out. If. Not her it'll be Alma or Olean. And Gilbert is running around close by. There all family and when you walk into the small, 4 table, 16 seat dining room it sorta seems like your parta the family. You just get the sense the smiles are genuine and the " How ya dewin?" Is real as well.

It's fun that the smokers are doing their thing in the lot next to the restaurant. No doubt everything is freshly prepared. The sides are solid too. The collards were tasty not too salty nor overcooked. The cheesy potatoes are a real hint and the beans are way above average. Cornbread muffins could be crispier but they are better than most places. Some seating inside, more tables outside. Whether eat-in or takeaway service is friendly and prompt.

Now someone said they have a good cheese burger, but we tried the 1/4 rib basket & smoked Turkey..baked beans & slaw. The beans need help. They were sweet like syrup but they need a new recipe. The slaw was ok but needed something, kinda sweet but again not much flavor. The smoked Turkey & ribs were just average. Would not get any of those things again. The toast was just white toast, toasted instead of Texas toast. No butter. It was a no for us, but I heard they have good brisket? We sat outside. It was nice they have picnic tables & an area for bands to play. Cute mom & pop with friendly charm.

The cheesesteak was huge and quite yummy. The onion rings were very good. The fish and chips were a good size portion at a fair price. The cheesecakes are all made in house. We got the macchiato cheesecake to share. It was very rich and flavorful. Our friend is in a wheelchair and there is handicap parking right in front of the building and his chair fit through the door no problem. There was a table easily accessible for him. Not sure if there was a wheelchair accessible bathroom as he didn't need one. Overall we had a pleasant experience. Happy to support a family owned restaurant. Hope it does well! We would definitely come back and would recommend it.
