Really cool and great BBQ joint. Brisket was juicy and perfectly smoked. The collars greens out of this world. Homemade corn fritters flavorful and non greasy. The place is spotless and the bathroom immaculate. I rarely put 4 stars all the way, but when people care that much an every level, that really need to be said and value. Super nice and accommodating host and very raisonnably priced.
