Here is an excerpt from their review:
Like most modern restaurants they use an Old Hickory smoker (one often also finds Southern Pride smokers) to prepare their meats and that does a good job at cooking it low and slow so as to make it tender and juicy while adding just the right amount of smoke.
The barbeque, however, is better with their thinnest vinegar and pepper sauce to add a bit of pep.
