  • Used to be a regular but food quality and quantity decreased about a year or two ago. Prices also increased. We've assumed there was a change in ownership/management. We decided to give it another try 07/18 but waited in excess of an hour to be served. Had to follow up with waitress to get my drink order served. Was told childrens menu drinks included free re-fills only to be charged for an additional childrens beverage -petty. Food dry and bland

    I've been coming here since they opened in 79 and have yet to find a better rib place. The ribs have that full flavor since they are not boiled or steamed first. Their homemade barbeque sauce is also not that molasses heavy sauce, but the thinner sauce with a kick. The doubled barbeque potatoes and of course the onion loaf are awesome. Long lines, but great cooking at a fare price are a standard for this place.

  • Excellent for a mid-week quick, inexpensive dinner. Happy Hour is also served at tables, not just the bar. The food is very plentiful with bread and salad with each entree and all superbly prepared.
