CheChe: Incredible BBQ. Went there with a group of locals and out of towners and everyone LOVED it. Go for the sampling platter with brisket, sausage, and pork ribs.

Max W.Max Wenneker: Trinity platter is a great deal and gives you a good sampling of everything. Bark on the brisket was fantastic.

Scott S.Scott S.: Sampler platter is good way to try a little bit of everything, and it's a great value. Brisket burnt ends on a hefty housemade jalapeno cheddar biscuit is also a great choice.

David L.David Lam: Do not get the nachos. Like spicy ketchup on potato chips with a tiny amount of brisket. They didn't even try to melt the cheese.

Toye S.Toye Simmons: This is one of my favorite lunch places. I think the Grilled Cheese and Brisket sand which is the best!!! Messy, but what good sandwich isn't!

Angie O.Angie Osmanski: Moonshine drinks were very good. Lemon-herb chicken & smoked brisket grilled cheese highly suggested! Strawberry fields salad with chicken was very tasty, just disappointed it was all ice berg lettuce
