The food was okay. The bean and cole slaw were really good. However, the ribs were just okay, a little on the dry side (1/2 dry rub & 1/2 wet) and chopped beef. The flavor of the chopped beef was good but I did not like the flavor of the sauce over the beef. Additionally, we got a side of barbeque spaghetti, it was good but it was different. I would definitely order the spaghetti again. Lastly, the customer service was great! That alone made the visit worth it and our server Robert was great!
