Della ZApril 16, 2014This place exceeded my expectations! The pulled pork sandwich was amazing. Not a bad price for all that food. I highly recommend this place :)
Steven K.April 10, 2015No matter what you get from here, you won't be disappointed. Everything on their menu is delicious. Get the chicken gyro sandwich- you won't regret it and it's affordable.
Kelly BurnsJanuary 29, 2018Ribs are good. Burgers are good. Gyros are good. Chicken breast sandwich is good. Fries are good !! Face it , everything is good when you cook with wood!!!- Josh MikaApril 27, 2013Ribs, rib tips, and other related carnivorous fare are solid. 50 cents extra for a shot glass size of BBQ sauce and other side/extra items are not only exorbitant, but unfulfilling.
Samantha MartinezNovember 5, 2011All the BBQ stuff is amazing, but I just ordered their chicken Caesar wrap w/the dressing on the side & it was so fresh & crisp that it tasted good even WITHOUT the dressing!
Leila SamiiNovember 2, 2014Pulled pork and ribs are phenomenal. Def get the bbq chicken and the baked beans.
EVERYTHING is good. BBQ and Greek food are the best, however.
Best BBQ around-anything they have is great! Staff is extremely nice and personable. Great food, great experience. Love this place!
Food was great, baklava was not. Also, they 'ask' that you only get one refill which is a crock.
Heather VanaJuly 21, 2011Best pulled pork ever. It's hard to resist the delicious smell when you drive by.
Mike CevallosMarch 21, 2010This is some damn good BBQ. The only problem is trying to decipher the mumbled code the kitchen uses when they call out that your order is ready.
J.R. NiklosJuly 15, 2011You haven't lived unless you've tried the Monte Cristo Wrap dipped in Ranch!
Michael WelburnSeptember 25, 2011Two more important words: grecian chicken. All dark meat. Grecian potatoes. Baked beans.
Mike M.May 11, 2014If you're looking for REAL BBQ... Then look elsewhere. I came here based on good reviews on Yelp, but left very disappointed. Beef brisket should be smoked, not roasted then slap BBQ sauce on it.- Joel JMarch 23, 2013Good ribs and baked beans. Everything else average or below average, including the bread (caked with butter).
Vic Rieser ヅNovember 22, 2010Awesome food for a hole in he wall joint,chkm mediterrain wrap is great!
Justin T.December 4, 2010How many people know about this place? Not many.. And boy are they missing out on some great food. Gyros are an A+!!
