Customer Reviews

"I absolutely love this place. You can get two pulled pork sandwiches for $3! And they have that lemonade like you get at a fair, the kinds made with real lemons. The only reason I gave it a four star is because they are not open on Saturdays or sundays. Especially saturdays. I work Monday through Friday and Maumee so getting down there during the week is difficult! Oh my God I forgot to mention the ribbon fries!!!! What's better between the lemonade and the ribbon fries. Note, this is a drive-thru restaurant only"

"They offer Fall off the Bone BBQ Rib Tips and Ribs. They have lots of other sides and delicious homemade lemonade. Service is pretty quick as long as they're not too busy. Friendly courteous staff and the food is reasonably priced. This isn't a dine in place they only offer drive through."
