"Upon arriving, we were warmly welcomed by a very friendly older gentleman who asked if it was our first visit. We confirmed it, and he provided us with a detailed explanation of their menu offerings and their philosophy on using locally sourced ingredients.
My fiancé ordered ribs, while I opted for a pulled pork sandwich with macaroni and cheese. My fiancé's sister went for the mac and cheese meal topped with pulled pork, and her husband also ordered a pulled pork sandwich, if I remember correctly. We also shared a side of green chili because none of us had tried it before.
Overall, the BBQ was good. My dining companions enjoyed it more than I did, but I'm a bit pickier when it comes to BBQ. I found the pulled pork to be more like chunky pork, which isn’t my personal preference. The pieces were large and neatly stacked on the sandwich. The meat itself was tender and flavorful, but the bun didn’t hold up well, and the sauce was excellent, so I ended up eating it with a fork.
My fiancé and his family were very happy with their meals. I tried a bite of his ribs and found them tasty, with a bit of a chewiness. The sweet and tangy BBQ sauce had a nice flavor, but I thought it could have been a bit thicker. Neither of us were particularly thrilled with the green chili; it wasn’t that it was bad, but I suppose it just wasn’t to our liking. It certainly was unique, packed with meat and vegetables, very thick with a friendly kick. I’d be curious to hear from someone more familiar with green chili about this version.
The standout dish for me was definitely the macaroni and cheese. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the cheese sauce was creamy and complex, and the topping of grated cheese added just the right amount of texture. If I visit again, I would definitely reorder that!"
