The workers there were extremely nice, but is soon as you walk in the smell kind of turned me off. It smelled dirty. The food wasn’t that bad, but the macaroni and cheese was very odd. It had a sour taste to it. It felt like it had a coleslaw flavor? Very different. I don’t believe that I would go back based on the quality of the food, and the smell of the restaurant.

We like to dine on the patio out back because it is quieter but the service isn't quite as good because they are usually so busy inside. It is still our favorite pizza place, though!

The wing dings were alright but not the best I've had and would not ever order rib tips again. This was a take out order for a party of about 30. There was about 15 wing dings left(out of 50) and about a half pan of rib tips left out of a half pan order.

We had 6 people at home waiting to eat and I orderd 2 slabs of ribs and wanted 2 sides of slaw. The wonderful woman waiting on me suggested to buy 1 slab and 1 slab dinner. The dinner came with 2 sides and bread. So she saved me money doing that. She was extremely friendly and kind and I appreciate the savings. My family from out of town were amazed at the size and the amt. of meat on the ribs. To top it off, the slaw is the best we have ever had. Just a perfect meal. Thank you very much

It has an old time diner feel to it with mostly booths, a table and a jukebox. The owner (I'm assuming she was the owner anyhow) was friendly and the service was fast. When I walked in there was the aroma of bread just taken out of the oven. And as I discovered they make their own bread right on the premisis.The food was good, the BBQ sauce was sweet with a spicy tang to it and it worked well with both the ribs and the chicken.I got 2 side dishes with my meal, I chose the mac-n-cheese which was good, and the baked beans. The beans were a little bland but I added some salt and they were very good then. I'm guessing they don't do the salt either for health code or for customers who are on a low sodium diet. Etiher way, not really an issue as I salted to taste.The side dishes were of a size that will feed 4 people. It also came with 4 breads. I got 2 corn muffins, which were very good. They had a good taste and were perfect in texture. I also got 2 slices of their bread, it was very good, light with a nice texture.
