Not great, not horrible. My friend says the ribs are too "hammy". I know what she means...the ribs taste like ham, sorta undercooked or something. Maybe the meat is more smoked than barbequed. Either...

I've been here a few times and the food is pretty good, especially the ribs. The price is so so. They have extra BBQ sauce and towels in every table so you can go sauce crazy.
