Heather JonesMarch 19, 2016$10.39 plus tax for a dam sandwich ONLY??? they done lost their dam minds, I'll travel to the Rib Lady 1st on State Fair for $4 less and probably bigger too.....- James PozenelJuly 30, 2015Interesting style to the BBQ but it really didn't hit home for me. Sauce was more vinegar based and the rub was nice. Missing the smoke I have come to prize over all other attributes.

Gwen HvFebruary 4, 2015The ribs and chicken were not done. The macaroni was not good. The greens tasted like vinegar. The green beans were great.
