They serve central Texas brisket, pork spare ribs, smoked tri tip, Carolina pulled pork, and smoked chicken. Choose from a selection of those meats in sandwiches, served alone, or with sides. The sides are similar to classic barbecue sides but with a California influence: white macaroni and cheese, cranberry broccoli salad, and sweet and sour veggie slaw are popular picks.
