I was feeding 50 staff at a school and ordered the pulled pork for the main dish. The staff had all the food ready early and was so very friendly. Even helped me carry it out to the car. Pork was delicious!!

Really good food and very friendly people working who are quick to help new customers navigate the menu and order in a cost efficient way. I spent 50 feeding my girlfriend and myself, but we took more food home than we ate at the restaurant. Place was great. I will definitely be there once a month at least from now on
