I tried it today. It was very mediocre. Pulled pork was ok, kind of mushy, but the cold hard bun they put it on ruined any chance of it being good. A package of $.99 buns just isn’t doing it.They could elevate the sandwich so much using different buns or at least just grilling it or warming it. Probably wouldn’t go back

Excellent!! The meat is like butter!! This place brings back such taste bud memories of my childhood. All of them were family favorites. There isn't anything on the menu that is bad, it's ALL delicious. When I was there the other day they didn't disappoint. I got exactly what I remembered. Oh I wish they still everywhere, not just this one location.

One of the best family owned restaurants that I’ve eaten in a long time exactly what I needed for this evening. I asked for recommendations when I went to the counter. They surprised me with this amazing meal. I’m so glad I stopped in everybody should visit this place.

We got the full slab of pork ribs. The ribs were lean, crispy on the outside, and fall off the bone tender. The ribs are way better that those at Phil's BBQ, but not quite as good as at Coop's West Texas BBQ. As our side we chose the coleslaw. It was a bit dry and not as creamy as the gold standard of Milton's, but had a good flavor and crisp texture. This location's food and portions are better than at their North Park location.
