If we lived anywhere near there we would be back in a heartbeat. And the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend!

If not - if you are maybe one of the only people of color she's seen in a while - quite likely given the location - she will leave your plates sitting, empty of food with napkins on top, obviously finished, without ever taking them. She will not refill your water for two hours. She will not ask if you want dessert. You will witness her do this while taking the plates, filling the water, and offering dessert to everyone around you, including people who came much later. When pressed, she claimed she thought I was 'in a meeting' because I was on my laptop - despite me not talking, wearing headphones, nor having Zoom up. In other words she lied to our faces. You know how, when you are at a restaurant, you look around and meet eyes with your server and she comes over? Ever do that for two hours - in a small place where she is constantly less than 6 feet away - and have her NEVER do that? Draw your own conclusions. By the way - myself and my companion who was also shocked at our service have served in all kinds of places, from small cafes to fine dining at luxury places...and in the nicer places this would be unfathomable. It's not possible that that would occurs at a place like that. At more casual places, you understand things could be left 30-45 minutes if you were slammed. But after an hour? And the restaurant not slammed? As to the food: bacon: excellent. Hash browns okay. Sausages - burned. Prices: a bit high. Service: pretty good for anyone who is not a person of color.

We both agree that the 3 meats we had were phenomenal. Rich seasoning and perfection on the smoke. We had the pulled pork, jalapeño sausage and rib tips. There was nothing left.

Stepping into the small restaurant, one side is a section selling rustic gifts and another area to sell their bottled sauces. Step up to the counter, order what you want ... they do have inside & outside eating area to enjoy any meal you order. We asked for a small sample of brisket, pulled pork & smoked sausage.... Owner, April Smith happily let us taste each one of them. What a delightful lady... full of personality. After our tasting...... my husband & I just stopped and whispered to each other...... OMG... it's moist, tender, flavorful and delicious !! We ordered 1 pound each of brisket & pork. I already had some smoked sausage and as delicious as it was..... we didn't need anymore in our freezer. We went back to Camp, grabbed a beer and enjoyed an afternoon appetizer.
