Diner-like barbecue joint... Heard that the place was started by a couple... then the husband died, so the wife keep the joint going by herself - as she retire, she finally sold it to a korean guy, fortunately... he kept the place as is - same workers same everything. Nice and friendly waitresses.

Favorite Dish: I had the leg of pork and beef brisket, every order comes with two side dishes, I had the coleslaw and baked beans - coleslaw was real good and not runny, while baked beans was out of this world, love their sauce. Leg of pork was good, but the beef brisket was excellent, they said it was roasted for 4 hours and then cooked for another 2... the meat just come right off. I also have the pecan pie with ice-cream... friends had sweet potatoe pie which was good also. All food came in big proportion - so lots of food leftover.
