The food was ok but the vibes were immaculate. There was a stench in the place, it kinda smelled like sewage that permeated through the establishment. There was a drag and for my first time going, it was cool.

Definitely go for the fun, not the food especially the BBQ! Pork sandwich was dry and tasteless, the brisket main was a 2/10. Maybe this is a burger place? Great place to go with a group of friends to drink beer and play ball.
