    Super!!!!! One of the best ribs I ever had. Juicy pulled pork and beef. Lovely also the dessert I had (berry and apple cake). By far the best dinner I had in Salinas!!

    Excellent ribs and brisket. Just the right amount of smoke. Tasty sauce and very good service. The real deal.

    Ordered the combo meal- tri tip and brisket with potato salad and beans. The sides were ok. Brisket was so delicious. Tri tip was meh. Definitely get the brisket!

    Double pulled pork and double coleslaw. Good selection of micro brews. Have tried many items - never a bad meal. Service great too.

    The salad was great & the chicken is tender. The potato salad is bad. The cobbler isn’t great & we got it to go and it was ice cold

    The berry cobbler is an awesome end to the meal. Garlic bread with BBQ? Just serve it up with some Texas toast.

    The cobbler is awesome but huge. It can probably feed three as a dessert.
