“Went to Dave’s new restaurant today with our family! We loved their food truck and had to try their new restaurant out! We got brisket sandwhiches, seasoned fries, a baked potato and the smokehouse loaded baked potato(which are HUGE! I could only eat half of it!) chicken strips and fries, piggy Mac and bbq nachos! Also not pictured is their pulled pork sandwich! All are sooo amazing and delicious! The nachos were a full size, with honey bbq sauce and it’s sooo good! I loved the potatoes(something new I’ve finally been able to try!).”

“First time and the food is excellent!! Side salads fresh and delicious. Chicken very tender. I think this will be my new Barbecue place!! Plus NO cooking”

“Food was hot (except the broccoli salad, of course), quick, and VERY delicious. I tried the pulled pork, nachos, chicken, macaroni & cheese, beans, and broccoli salad. Would recommend all of those items. Friends were raving about the bacon wrapped sausage and apple crisp too. And that Dave can really back up a trailer! Jeepers!”
