2009: Ordering here is done normally enough at a counter, but the full color menu reads like a McDonald's menu. There are multiple combo meals, and I think I even saw a 2 for 1 apple pie. I ordered up a two meat plate with ribs and brisket and sides of cole slaw and greens.



Both the creamy slaw and the slow cooked greens with a good pork flavor were satisfying, but the meats weren't so stellar. Brisket had nearly all of the crust trimmed away along with all of the fat. The slices were gray with no smokering, and any smokiness was missing. Ribs had a decent flavor, but they had a mushy texture like they'd been stored for a while. This mediocre barbeque needed a kick from the sweet sauce served on the table.
