“ We got the pulled pork and links for a Celebration of Life reception. I had only purchased from their food truck in the past. The food I picked up at the restaurant was the best BBQ I've ever had...and I'm not really a BBQ person. We got a lot of compliments on the food. I wasn't real sure what I wanted to serve, but the owner was very kind and accommodating with all my questions. Their service was great! ”
