The guy who brought the food out was very nice and included a big ole bowl of Bbq sauce. The smoked turkey doesn't need any sauce but it was nice of him to include it. If I lived in the area, I would eat here all the time.

Cute restaurant and clean but not the best BBQ…read more Service was good but the BBQ was just average at best and sides just mediocre.

Juicy and tender smoked turkey. So so good!

I had the mozzarella sticks (amazing) and a chicken cutlet parmigiana wedge (sub for this area) and that too was well above my expectations...

Again stop by and give it a go yourself , the star not given was I felt forgotten and waited longer than normal for my food and when I took it to go , it was thrown in a bag sideways and upside down. But again was definitely a good meal

I'm a truck driver. I like to park my truck and ride my bicycle to local nearby food places…read more(nothing big chain). Sometimes, the ride is not worth the work of getting there. The staff only gets 2 stars. I approach the counter and the employee behind the register only stares at me. I have to initiate the conversation. Zero people person skills. After placing my order and paying for it (which was not overly priced), I was then told by this employee that they are out of the beer that I had chosen. Once again, the employee just stares at me. Not sure what for. Then it was silent for about 10 seconds till the shift manager offers a fountain drink instead. The cleanliness of the restaurant was ok, but the lighting inside was really dim. In fact, the parking lot lights were brighter. So I had to sit by the window to see my food. So the building design gets 3 stars. It only took about 10 minutes for my pizza to arrive at my table. 5 stars for that. The crust wasn't over or under cooked. There was only about a half inch of border crust. There wasn't an excessive amount of toppings (a lot of times they pile on the toppings to cover up the crappy crust or sauce). Plenty of cheese. Kinda dry though. I would have liked to see more sauce. The pizza wasn't cut into the traditional triangle pieces. They were more rectangle shape. 4 stars for the pizza. Overall, this was not a bad trip to make. The business needs to work on the customer experience aspect. I would recommend this place over a large chain pizza restaurant. 3.5 stars total.

It's a little hard to find, tucked away around the side of a gas station, but your GPS will find it OK (ours did). It was bustling and busy when we arrived. Despite that, we didn't have to wait for a table and the service was not slow. The vibe was very cheerful - lots of locals out for Sunday morning breakfast. It was a little loud but not a problem. The servers and staff were friendly and welcoming. Everyone was having a good time. The food was very good. Portion sizes were decent. My daughter couldn't finish her pancakes.

Here goes-- parking was a challenge, line was long so I asked my fellow diners how the food was. It was unanimous that it is great , so I got in line and worked my way to the 2nd room. Finally progressed to ordering room and was close to placing my order when an employee came out and said they were out of ribs until 3or 4 o'clock. It was not yet 1 , so I decided on a brisket sandwich. Minutes later the announce no sandwiches either! Only chicken and I was NOT in a mood for chicken having had it 3 days in a row. Like others I flew the coop very disappointed and not sure about any future possibilities. In fairness, they offered choices for those prepaid to either get a refund or get their goodies when ready . Most were not inclined to wait 3-4 hours to see if their timing was accurate. It sure smelled good in there. I feel like I'm owed a rack of ribs for my inconvenience and time erosion.

On **Sundays**, they're open **7:00 AM to 3:00 PM**. The customer service was excellent, and the restaurant has a classic old-school diner atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The breakfast itself was pretty average--not in a bad way, just nothing I'd drive an hour for. What stood out was how well everything was cooked. I ordered the **Country Platter**, which came with **2 pancakes, 2 eggs, your choice of meat, and hash browns or grits**. I chose **sausage and hash browns**. The eggs were cooked to a perfect over-medium with a runny yolk, exactly how I like them. The hash browns were golden brown and genuinely crispy, something that's harder to find than it should be. Even though the meal was simple, the cook absolutely nailed the execution.
