You walk in and order at the counter. Waitress was very nice. I had questions about gluten free and she gave a gf options menu. Food came out as ordered and quickly. The beef brisket sandwich , and coleslaw were good (gf bun was an awesome surprise). I loved the self serve bbq sauce counter, and drinks are self serve. Everything was clean and very kid friendly atmosphere . Thank you :)
