Save your money and tastebuds by getting the slaw at one of the local grocery stores. Kyle Fletchers bbq on Hwy 74 E is the best in town. (more)

BBQ is very dry and very chopped up. Sauce comes in packets! What a joke. It's hard to believe these folks have been in business for 40+ years. I won't be back. (more)
