We came here for a couple's night out and we were blown away!! He got the Mac-Attack and I got the Buffalo Chicken Horseshoe! The owner greeted us and let me try a sample of the cheese, Mac n cheese, and the beef tips!! I am not big into BBQ at all BUUUUT this BBQ is so tender and melts in your mouth!! Whitney was our server and she was so patient and helpful!! Come, date night, family night, lunch.... just come so they stay!!!!!

The Cubano was delicious! Added mustard BBQ sauce! Chef’s special bone in pork chop was juicy and seasoned perfectly. French fries really good. We were just passing through on a long trip. If we lived here; we’d be regulars. Highly recommended…..

He said “come on in I’ll cook something for ya” it really made me feel like I was heading to papas house after a long day of work when he said that. The
