About

This place is a total hit-or-miss. Some customers swear by the authentic smoke flavor and friendly service, while others complain about dry, bland meat and poor hygiene. It's a rustic, hole-in-the-wall spot that some find charming and others find run-down. It seems to be a favorite for some truckers, but proceed with caution.
