    I don't understand the fuss about the BBQ it was awful. It was chunked put on bread pressed in a press grill and some nasty sauce. Seriously skip the BBQ. I'm not being mean either I love food but a 5 yr old can do better.

    Asked for the barbecue plate to go as I was working in the area and had more than an hour drive back. Place looks run-down but the service and the food and the cleanliness was great. I didn't really like the barbecue sauce as it was more of a hot sauce so I had them put some of their vinegar coleslaw on the BBQ which was freshly cut off the brisket and served has a sandwich that was toasted on both sides. I got sweet corn nuggets and the crispiest perfect fries I've ever got. Under 9 bucks steal

    Only thing good was the baked beans. The BBQ was terrible.
