“I had lunch with a friend and had The BEST tenderloin ever! It fit a good sized bun and was thick and cooked to perfection. Onion rings were exactly how I like them. Going tomorrow for brunch. I will have the tenderloin. Great place!”

“This place is underrated!!! We have driven past this place for 3 years and decided to stop and try it tonight. You walk in and get a Texas BBQ feel. My husband got the Brisket Cheesesteak sandwich and described the meat as being Smokey and tender & the cheese sauce made it even better. I ordered Papa’s Boneless wings 1/2 dry rub & 1/2 cactus bobs house sauce. Both delicious! The wings were tender & not stringy like most boneless wings I’ve had. We also ordered the fried pickles which were outstanding and not like anything we have tried before. The pickles were speared and tasted like they were candied instead of the basic dill taste. Delicious!! We will be back.”
