The menu is simple and the ambience is pretty basic but it has that old style kind of pork barbecue which has been the staple in Georgia and North Carolina forever. They slow cook the pork and douse it in a tart vinegar sauce that goes perfectly with the slightly sweet cole slaw. Naturally, you should always have the chopped pork sandwich with cole slaw, which is the traditional way of eating it in my home state of North Carolina. See why I like this place so much?
