Generous portions and delicious food. Turkey and pulled pork were great, and the vinegar bbq sauce killed it. Also the Mac n cheese wasnt really jalapeno which was perfect for us. As my pregnant wife said, my body definitely wanted to eat this food. Go check this place out.

Amazing experience! We came to the area in the late evening and all other restaurants were over an hour wait. This was a last resort but it shouldve been our first choice! We absolutely loved the food here and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Absolutely recommend the brisket poutine. Some of the best barbeque Ive ever had!
