I had a special called the Henny Hen Hen, it was a fried chicken sandwich with a Hennessy glaze. It was excellent and y'all need to make it a permanent part of the menu, or at the very least add the Hennessy glaze to the sauce list!
Never had a bad time here. Always open late on Saturday night which is great when your done partying.
My boyfriend and I always love coming here, great food! Always an enjoyable experience, kind workers and everything always tastes great and never have to wait long either.
Great food at very good prices. As a student I was able to afford to eat here which being a college town matters. As an alumni it's cheap good eats. Excellent tacos. Flavorful sauce. They have Mexican street corn as a side which is a must have! Super worth the stop 😄. Honestly haven't been around a lot more this is definitely in the upper echelon of BBQ places. They do brisket right, fat is rendered nicely. Solid smoke ring. Exactly what you want. Pulled pork is moist and loaded with flavor that will make you want to come back for more. The carnitas on the tacos are banging. Best Mexican street style tacos I've had since coming back from California.
First time going, and I gota say it's not some place I'd usually go to. The food was great though, a bit hard to understand as first timer so I just picked something that that seemed not to bad. Some of the food may take some time to get used to since the spices and sauce used are a bit strong. But I would definitely come back and try out some of the other stuff. But overall it was a pleasant experience. And the person at the register was a pretty nice guy, so that's always a plus
