We both ordered the full rack of ribs. Hubby had fries and I had twice baked potato, with a side order of Caesar dressing brussel sprouts. To finish it off, we had raspberry cheesecake. Everything was delicious. Our waitress was amazing. We discovered her family's home is in the valley. What a small world! She was friendly, great sense of humour, and has an outstanding personality. Highly recommend her.
