We definitely weren't disappointed. My wife, and I, both got the BBQ pork dinner, and man, was it good! Service was great, and we'll definitely be coming back on a regular basis. A very cool little place."

Many people do take out but I enjoy coming in sitting in this atmosphere. I’ve enjoyed many different foods from the menu here, as I have visited multiple times, never had a bad meal or service, even when they are super busy."

Delicious, quick, great little cabin atmosphere with great photos on the wall and the history of the owners on the menu. Banana pudding was perfect . We stopped on a Monday about 130pm, still busy. Can't wait to come back from your BBQ"
