“ Came here on a random Wednesday for lunch. This place is the real deal if you're on the fence and looking for barbecue. It's easy to say this place's ribs could be the best in Fresno. A barbeque joint is only as good as it's ribs on an idle wednesday, remember that. ”
“ Went in to try bbq. We tried the 5 meat combo with tri tip, ribs, pulled pork, brisket, and rib tips with Mac n cheese and chili beans. We also got zucchini tempura. All the meats were juicy and flavorful. The zucchini was also good but I wished they gave more per order but overall was great and for 35 for 5 items was a good deal. ”

“ Seen the sign while driving by and had to check it out the next time I was in the area. Glad I did because everything was so good. I ordered a combo plate of ribs with potato salad and rice pilaf. Ordered bone in chicken to sample as well. Everything was delicious and bread roll was warm and soft, their spicy bbq sauce was top tier. I placed an order for the following day since we’re hosting dinner and knew my friends needed to taste it as well. My picky 12 yr old enjoyed the ribs. ”
