Roasted pork butt, beef brisket and ribs... add your own sauce to the delicious carnivorous treats. Their big salad is a nice choice, too, topped with smoked turkey and brisket, avocado, diced tomato and homemade dressings. Tasty sides like mac & cheese, cole slaw and fried okra can be dinner all by themselves too.
