Attendants ensured the tables were cleared off promptly to make sure guests had a clean space to eat. Although the food is delicious it IS pricey... $18 for the ribs...

The meats are incredibly tender and full of flavor, clearly done right. It's very family-friendly--kids are given a coloring sheet, kids menu, and crayons, which is always appreciated. There's plenty of seating, so it doesn't feel cramped even when busy. Service is quick and genuinely friendly, and the menu offers lots of options, so there's something for everyone. They also take reservations, which is a big plus, and street parking is available. An easy 4/5--great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Some decent beers on tap. I ordered smothered tots from the limited menu, which is mostly tacos, nachos, etc. I selected pulled pork for the meat topping option. On top of this huge mound of tots and iceberg lettuce was about a tablespoon of pulled pork, hardly enough for a single small taco. It didn't have any salsa or other sauce so I doused it with Tapatio and proceeded to labor my way through about 50 tots after the single mouthful of pork was gone. Of course it was $15.

This barbecue house seems to attract folks for their 'que by the pound, smoked wings, and special sauces (espresso whiskey, honey gold, Texas red). It's a large restaurant that spans a few floors, and just about every table was filled upstairs (downstairs is more of a bar-vibe) so families were mostly seated upstairs. They have espresso martini machines and can make some classic hot, wintry drinks too.

There's a front diner that appears to be more of the breakfast side and then a bar in the back with pool tables and places to sit and eat. I was here on a Sunday night and it was packed with locals and even had live music. I ordered my food to go and had a drink while I waited. As a single gal traveling it can be awkward sitting at the bar by yourself and I especially felt that here. People are polite and courteous but no one talks to you. The Sunday night special is fish and chips and were really tasty. Everything made in house. And the house red is Josh Cellars Cabernet so that was nice.

We enjoy finding and supporting local establishments, but this time it failed us. If we hadn't been so hungry and needing a break we would have moved on shortly after arriving. It wasn't super clear where to enter, then no staff in the main restaurant and despite the sign saying go to the bar it wasn't clear where to get to the bar. I ended up asking a customer what to do when he said the only wait staff person was coming out of porch area. We needed to sit outside with our dog, but as we sat outside we had to deal with non-stop flies everywhere which we didn't expect. We had to swat flies while eating. It was very upsetting that a customer thought it best to come from the bar to smoke on the patio where everyone was eating instead of easily going to the parking lot. Our server definitely had a pleasant personality, but lacked experienced server skills. We had to initiate the conversation to get seated, where to bring in the dog since there wasn't outside porch access and also had to get our own utensils from the main dining room. The food was good enough, but expected more flavor from the menu descriptions We had the grilled chicken sandwich, BBQ Ham & Swiss, Ruben (the substitute for the Chicago-Style Italian Beef we all really wanted) and we had 2 orders of the Sweet Potato Fries & Coleslaw. The BBQ Ham & Swiss on the Pretzel bun was the surprise winner along with the and the Sweet Potato Fries were the favorites amongst the four of us. Again, I'll finish with that we probably were not the type of customers today to appreciate the establishment given our long day of driving with much more to go. However, we are glad the community has a place to come together for food, drink and as we left they had live music.

Super friendly service and very accommodating for my no dairy requirements. I had the veggie burger, which was probably the best veggie burger I've ever had. This thing was so fresh tasting, there's no way it was prepared from being frozen. Full of quinoa, corn, etc. super duper delicious remoulade on a really good gourmet bun. Of course, I forgot to take a pic, but, I did manage to document my eating mates selections. See those pics - albeit, half eaten. Upgrade your order to the sweet potato tots, don't even hesitate, they're healthy and come with a mustard seed aioli sauce that makes the whole meal 360 degrees of scrumptiousness. I wish I had room in my pie hole for the donut ice cream sandwich - my only regret. Go off your intended route to try this place. McDonald's and Taco Bell don't need you. There's lovely tables and chairs under the trees that are clean and stocked with napkins and hand sanitizer. A really nice break in our trip!

Great find! Stopped by here while camping in the area. I'm with my pups so an outdoor seating area…read moreat a food truck sounded perfect. They have a nice sized patio area with about 7 spaced out tables and a couple of chairs for the to go orders. There is a huge pine tree for shade as well. Simple menu written on a chalk board because it varies daily. The prices seem appropriate for a quality food truck and for the area as well. I was already debating the Philly or the shrimp poboy depending on what they had and it turned out to be the poboy. Order didn't take long and then my huge sandwich arrived. It came with a small bag of chips, but the sandwich itself is huge and loaded. The sandwich is on a soft hogie rather than the traditional french type of bread, but it's delicious and fresh . The shrimp (plump, perfectly cooked and plenty) is in a kind of dark cajun remoulade mixed with bacon and sauteed onions with multi colored bell peppers. Oh, and it has lettuce so you don't feel bad about eating it all in one sitting! :) Overall, I loved it! Bursting with flavor in every bite! Felt more like a Cajun shrimp Philly minus the cheese. Only if I was to be the one to name it of course! There is no such thing as a shrimp Philly though...yet! Oh, and ask for a fork or to have them cut it in half or you will be using way more napkins than necessary! ;-) Met Kevin, ones of the owners and he was very nice and easy to talk to. Nice place to stop if you are passing through or if you are a local, what are you waiting for!? Try them out before they go on their winter vacation! :) Or just make sure you try them out when you get a chance. They'll be back. I hope!
