The pit beef here is outstanding. No frills… just delicious, freshly smoked meats, sandwiches, and sides.

Excellent pit beef Thursday through Saturday. Cold beer and bar eats the rest of the week. Friendly barmaids and good service.
The $10 Big Beef sandwich is huge!

I had a very awesome 50th birthday party there even the people that wasn’t involved in my party ended up getting involved in the party which was awesome it felt like a neighborhood bar. Then unfortunately after I left the party I got a phone call to be told that my father passed away. And again thank you very much Denise for all of your help it means a lot you will be blessed one day

It’s a quaint little bar. If you just want to have a drink it’s great. My daughter is a bartender there and the people seem to love her. I really hope she does good there.

A local neighborhood bar that is bigger inside than it looks. They have the MOST Ah-Maz-zzzing pit beef sandwiches! Go ahead and get the bigger size….You’re welcome.

The people where very friendly and the beer cold but the smokers stand in front of the screen door 2 or 3 at a time and then more people replaced them.
With fan sucking that in they might as well smoked inside.

Order it one temp under what your desired done-ness is. That’s what I find to work best. The fries are good
