The pace here is easygoing, inviting both locals and travelers alike to settle in, relax, and savor a genuine slice of Americana. It’s the kind of place where you’re met with warm smiles and genuine hospitality, setting the tone for a meal that’s as much about the atmosphere as it is about the plate before you.

This place is top notch. Great atmosphere and even better food. If you are ever in the area, you need to stop. My kids talked about it for 2 hours on our trip. Food is great and honestly the prices are very reasonable for the amount of food and taste.

The best People ever work at this location. The food is phenomenal. I only had a discover card for payment, which they do not accept, and they blessed me with a free meal. There aren’t many places that do act like this. Amazing food amazing service

Reviewed again: I tried this place again on my way from Pittsburgh to MA. Last time I got the food and it was cold by the time I had it, so I didn't know it's real taste. This time we had the chance to dine in and we were really surprised. The taste was amazing, meat was fresh and so well cooked and soft..definitely a great place to visit. Still the sauce flavor could be improved. Nice taste and quality food. I stopped here on the way and grabbed some boneless ribs and mashed potatoes and beans. It was lovely and great taste. Very affordable price and great location. Meat was delicious and nicely cooked. Wish the BBQ sauce was little spicy and expected more flavor. Great place to try.
