I ordered 2 brisket baked potatoes .Very disappointed ðŸ˜ž this time. In the past it was really good. The potatoes was not fully cooked. You couldn't even mash them. Tasted like they were cooked days before and put in the fridge. Maybe a pinch of cheese and no sour cream. We had a couple of bites and got rid of the rest. It's really sad because I loved this place.

Ate here a few times. Food has just been okay every time. Last time the service and food wasn't great. Wanted to try the turkey leg. It was burnt to a crisp and completely inedible. The pitmaster really needs some training. Can't believe they would even serve this.

The service was fine, greeted when I walked in and the potato was huge and they don't skimp on the brisket! If I'm gonna pay $16 for a baked potato, this is the one for sure and you can walk right up and see the smoker doing it's thing. If you're in town come by and support this business for sure.

I LUV a good baked potato! When I opened the container, I went whoa, it was huge! Baked just right, perfect temperature, perfect amount of butter, sour cream, and cheese on it. Had a little trouble finishing it so my husband helped. My husband had a small chopped beef sandwich, that was great. Nice to have a choice of a small sandwich, for a small appetite. Prices extremely reasonable. Will be back.

Quite e delicious chopped brisket sandwich. I was on the go and needed a quick lunch. Drove by this spot and hung a U-turn to check it out. Three people in line ahead of me. Several regulars and another customer trying it out for the first time. The kids working the counter were very friendly and efficient. The man on the knife at the cutting board did a brilliant job of cutting and chopping the perfect ratio of bark, lean and fat meat into a handful to build my sandwich. Fabulous smoke flavor on the beef that was moist enough it didn't even need the sauce. Although I found the "original" sauce too good to pass up after I tasted it I had to add to the sandwich. A perfect balance of acidity, sweetness and spicy heat. Highly recommended. I want to go back to try the whole menu. Especially the baked potato that looks incredible.
