Know them from my roots in Birmingham. Was concerned that expansion would detract from the quality at the original, but we were pleasantly surprised. SO MUCH SMOKE that it's a challenge to wash it off off of your hands! A WAY GOOD THING that is SO RARE. My only choice in "Q" is always pulled pork (outside/bark) and theirs is excellent, and true to their original location in Birmingham. A "keeper" reminiscent of their first success!
