The choices are limited to pulled pork, ribs and chicken, but these are all top notch, as are the potatoes that come with your meal order. The prices are very fair and you get a generous amount of delicious, home-cooked food lovingly prepared by the family that runs the stand,” wrote one Yelp user.
