I went for the first time a couple weeks ago, and all I can say is wow!!!! I'm a huge sucker for cheeseburgers and let me tell you, they blew Angels out of the water!!! Going there again today for lunch!!! The owner/manager came out and checked on us. Came into the restaurant and we were greeted with nothing but smiles and the aroma of sweet barbecue. We sat down, someone came, took our order and came back with our food fast! A place like this can't be super good if the place is always packed! Friendly service, fast, and great good! What more can you ask for?
