Great menu variety and feedback from employees on the quality, quantity, and taste of the food. The service was good, even though they had an equipment failure. Very friendly staff.

Very good, quality food. You, like many bbq places, need to cut the brisket across the grain-- I'm from TX and always amazed when bbq people don't do that.

The pizza was great, the only thing I could be nitpicky about was the top of my deep dish slice was burnt and not simply like a char. Other than that it reminded me of authentic Chicago deep dish which is hard to come by here in Nashville
