You go in & order at corner & they bring you food out to outside court. It was in the 70's so very pleasant. I had an excellant pimento cheese sandwich, very full of the cheese. My husband had a huge bar b q pork sandwich which he also liked. Good value also.

Not life changing. Just good. Baked beans were delicious. Coleslaw also fresh, creamy and crunchy. The pulled pork was good but not mind blowing. BBQ sauce was good. I don't get the white sliced bread. Need something with a bit of texture to balance the soft meat.

Eating in the lovely courtyard...

Wife and I were walking around the historic district and stopped here for lunch. The food was great - pulled pork sandwich with spicy bbq sauce for me and a veggie sandwich for my wife. Both were very tasty! And the staff was super friendly. Very cool atmosphere. Check it out!!!
