My favorite is the brisket but you really can't go wrong with anything that you get. My biggest issue was trying to get my kids to stop eating off my plate after they finished all of theirs. The fact that the owner is friendly and welcoming really is icing on the cake. If you haven't given it a try yet, I HIGHLY recommend!
