Very affordable and very good. The corn bread dipped in the provided butter sauce was awesome. Mac and Cheese was disappointing. The Sausage was the best thing I had. Ribs also very good. The Brisket and Burnt Ends were fine. The ham and turkey were ok. Fast service. Low prices.

What was each meat like? Optional, but it’s the part people actually read — one line is plenty.
