This place was not for me. I like a steak now and then but really get crazy for veggies. Being in the heart of the greatest vegetable growing region in the country, I kinda thought I'd find some here....

One of the better BBQ places in the area. The portions are huge and the place has a real home-like feel. It is pricey but you do get what you pay for. Service is great to and the shirts are the best!
