I placed an order for Turkey for a thanksgiving lunch for 15 people and the owner forgot to make the turkey! I had 15 people waiting for a meal that was never delivered. I spoke to the owner and he did not know how to fix this issue! What was the right thing to do??? What would you do??

Don't be deicieved by this unassuming hole in the wall. I tried the brisket sandwich to go, it was served with a perfect portion of meat with pickles, onion and sauce on the side. The sauce seemed to be homemade with the taste of brown sugar shining through and paired nicely with the briskets' smoky flavor. There's not much of an area to dine in but I'm definitely not getting my brisket anywhere else and will definitely consider having them for catering.

Had the brisket and Sausage with Jalapeño. The food was excellent and the sausage had a nice kick to it. Seating is very limited. Owner is extremely nice. Highly recommend to go. Open only Friday Saturday and Sunday.

Epic meats...the service was excellent and the food was amazing. My initial reaction upon unveiling my sandwich was "HOMERUN" but once I tasted it, it was a "GRAND SLAM!" I'LL definitely be back...
