What our guests are saying

A good fall off the bun portion for the brisket sandwich and it’s served with a side of their BBQ sauce and coleslaw. They were helpful with choosing from the largest selection of bottled sodas I’ve seen. I enjoyed the recommended Route 66 Root Beer. When I’m in the area I’ll be back.

Charming atmosphere with great food and friendly service. Plus tons of vintage soda options. Tattered Apron cookies are THE BEST. Saturday nights there's live music! Such a cool place to eat. Friendly people, too.

I love a great combo spot. Food was amazing. I haven't had great BBQ in a while. The savory flavors and my american brisket even had the smoky flavor coming out of the meat as I chewed it. The bun had a slight crisp to the outside but as you chewed into it, you didn't have to break a tooth to chew through it. I am so excited to have stumbled upon this place. Go check it out, bring someone with who loves antiques and good food. 🍀
