MikeMike: The beer is reasonably priced. Make sure to try their wings - they have the best sauce on the planet. I'm also a big fan of the chopped brisket and ribs. The pulled pork is good but doesn't outshine.

LaurissaLaurissa: Everything is good. Seriously, you can't go wrong here. We love the Texas fries (as an entree) with beef brisket. The quartered chicken is great and so is the pulled pork. The beans are *outstanding*.
