The pork ribs we both agreed was not the best we ever had. It is worth a stop here just for the brisket! The ambiance is nice, like you would expect from a BBQ joint with paper towels at the table with an assortment of home made sauces.

Thanks to them as well for opening up their back room to fit all the girls. Great staff - very friendly. It's a smaller place. But that doesn't detract at all. Now the food. Insanely good. I had the brisket sandwich and it was full of meat and had onions and Cole slaw. Added on the sweet bbq and it was so good. People raved about the Cuban. The hush puppies were a fan favorite. The peanut butter pie and key lime pie were to die for. The Mac and cheese was excellent, as was the cowboy beans and potato salad. If I lived here it would be one of my favorite places to go.

The food and service were top notch. We sat at the bar which gave us a good view of all the happening. There is plenty of room to sit inside as well as out. I am a sucker for smoked turkey and was extra excited to hear they still had some. That with the greens and potato salad was the perfect. The turkey was flavorful and juicy. The greens have just the right amount of spice and the potato salad cooled it down. Can't forget to mention the tortillas! So good! I will for sure be back.

It was good, not too sweet, and reminded me of bread or corn pudding but with pineapple bits. Overall it was decent bbq...

Along with a small selection of beers on tap and bottled, us parents were definitely satisfied.

Which really was disappointed as we were there just a few minutes after their posted opening time and were heading to the beach. And it was chilly and it's outdoor seating only. Even after they opened it took forever to get our food, and they were out of quite a few items. I loved their burrito with cornbread when I got it a few years ago but they were out of it this time around. There were way too many beans in it and I couldn't even finish it. & The brisket was wayyy too fatty for everyone. It was so unpleasant eating it as it was so chewy and tough.
