“ I never try the sandwich so i decided to try the beef sandwich and the manager is really nice she ask me what sauce i want and i told her never been here before so this is my first time. The beef is really delicious and the sauce she suggest is good. I called the store and let her know i like the sandwich and the sauce. She told me try the pork and turkey next time. ”
“ Their BBQ is awesome. The pork sandwich comes full to the edges, it really packs good flavor. Add some coleslaw on top of the pork, and oh man it adds the perfect crunch. Dip it in the beans and youll die and go to heaven. Like this review! ”
