I got the pork sandwich and it was amazing! Very smoky and tasting. The portions are great, the prices are good and the staff is super friendly. Very unexpected to find a gem like this up in Ellettsville!!! Thanks for all your hard work!

The food was absolutely AMAZING!! We are from Northwest Indiana. Made the trip down for my daughter's graduation. This was her choice and the absolute best choice! We will definitely be back! Phat Daddy made the atmosphere even better with his big personality and kindness!
