Having sampled a variety of their offerings, I particularly enjoyed the sliced brisket, which showcased a rich flavor profile, although some may find it slightly dry. The pulled pork, tender yet a tad bland, was revitalized by the mild sauce that perfectly balances its flavor. The sides, especially the fried okra, are generous in portion and a must-try!
