COMMENTS: The twice baked potato is a new item with which they are experiementing. It is good, and when they have the recipe down pat, it will be one of their signature items.

We went in the middle of Saturday afternoon. That is a wonderful time. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxed, but the food was just as delicious.

They have some of the best barbecued pork ribs anywhere! They have a great catering trailer for off-site service and will open other times for groups.
