Customer Reviews
This place has great food !! Loved the pull por sandwiches! The owner is very nice too.
*TAKE OUT ONLY* I'd call this BBQ spot "Eclectic". Offering BBQ | Vinyl Records | Chocolates | Cookies. Located beside ExxonMobil gas station. Often, the debate about barbecue is whether wet or dry is better. Overall, this was on the dry-side. We ordered the lunch specials - Pulled Pork and Brisket sandwiches with chips and cookies. The meat was well-seasoned (not greasy) and nicely presented on a giant potato roll. We ordered coleslaw topping to the Brisket. Portions are large. We both agreed that the Almond Joy cookie was yummy and the perfect dessert pairing. Not sure what was going on with the "Vinyl record section" inside, but it was a little bit cluttered and dusty, maybe they are in the midst of re-organizing? 3-4 picnic tables outside under the pine trees for use.

Just ok at best. Pulled chicken and brisket sandwiches were both dry. Baked beans were decent. Two sandwiches, one side and one drink: $33.00. Wouldn't go back. Wouldn't recommend to a friend. The chain Mission BBQ is vastly superior, similarly priced and a sit down restaurant.
Mediocre at best. Pulled pork sandwich just comes with meat and bread. There's too many other good restaurants for me to support to ever go back here again. It reminded me of the six flags pulled pork sandwich. Except the six flags one was more flavorful.
Five star seasonal family owned deli. Fantastic smoked pulled pork, chicken, brisket smoked on site. Amazing potato salad made in store fresh daily. A husband wife owned business for years. Very friendly.
