| - Be prepared for a little bit of a wait, depending on what time of day you go. There are only 18 counter seats but I have always been seated within 20 minutes or so. Be patient because it is WORTH IT!
A note about the limited seating and service since many of the previous reviews have deducted stars due to this - it is a family style diner and authentic BBQ joint: you come here to embrace all the goodness that comes out of their deep fryers and wood fired cooker, not to sit at a white linen table in the candlelight served by staff in suits. That being said...yes, it is tight in there so be prepared to make friends with all your neighbors and exchange "mmmms" and "omgs" over the ribs & fried chicken.
The Fried Chicken dinner = $14 = PERFECTION. Brined & marinated for 48 hours, the skin is crispy and the chicken is juicy. This is a MUSTY-TRY when visiting. It is paired perfectly with their Grape soda!
Make sure you come here on a Tuesday, Friday or Sunday evening (after 5pm) if you want to try the ribs. They only offer ribs on these days and again, SO delicious and totally photo op worthy for you Instagrammers #gluttony
Lastly, I was lucky enough to receive good, efficient service. Was it the best and most polite I've ever received? Of course not. But the team there is in good spirits, able to handle takeout orders (a lot of them), while accomodating all the hungry people in the store. What's really worth mentioning is that the owners were working the night of my visit - one took my order and the other brought out my food. They are both incredibly hard working and passionate & proud of the food they produce. I would be too! They seemed so dedicated, clearly experts in this category of food and very deserving of the 5 stars.
