A couple of coworkers and I went there for lunch. The staff were very nice and the wait time was short. I had the rib tips and I must say, it's been a long time since I had ribs that good.

The rib tips were fresh and tender. Spicy BBQ sauce was on point. Nice amount of tips in a Jumbo order. Usually, there is a line. But they get you in and out. Definitely will be back.

The food & service is excellent. I always feel safe inside. While you wait for your order, go next door for the there homemade donuts for dessert. No worries about your food, they will call your # when it's ready.

We missed our exit on the freeway and so ended up deciding to try out this joint...and man did it not disappoint. The customers were crazy as hell and the plexiglass separating the employees from them indicates this is pretty regular. The sketchy tone is set the second you walk in the place. Then you have the food and it all becomes worth it. The brisket was a little too charred, but still tasty and every other meat we had was on point.
