  We found Mike's on the way to a concert.  Mike is a friendly chap and has a great product.  Staff and Mike were extremely accommodating.  We had a loaded baked potato with smoked turkey and beef brisket.  
  
  Mike's meats are smoked in an expensive Southern Pride smoker that uses both gas and wood.  The end product is consistent and has a great flavor.
  
  Mike ships his barbecue sauce to customers on demand. Since it is hard to find good barbecue sauce in California we will take him up on this offer.
  
  Mike's is a family run business that loves their product and customers.
  
  It was good to see a Southern Pride smoker in use since we heard about this smoker in California.
  
  We recommend giving Mike's a try if you are in the area.

  A very good "hole in the wall" barbecue experience for lunch. I ordered the half slab ribs with potato salad and green beans. The green beans were canned but flavored decently. I am not a frequent potato salad eater, so that was a risk for me. It was mustard based and ok, not my favorite but others may find it wonderful. The ribs were tender and well prepared but just a bit too salty for me, but I am sure just right for others. The customer service was very good and they were friendly.

  I am usually very picky with my BBQ, coming from Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and I have had BBQ from Pecan Lodge and Franklin's BBQ, many Food Channel famous places, but I personally liked this BBQ the best. So tender, and not fatty. It was really authentic and easy to eat. Mike and Morgan are also super friendly and generous. Price can't be beat and flavor of the BBQ sauce is sooooo good! Not heavy at all, and as a nutrition franatic, I was always hesitant to eat BBQ! If all BBQ was as good as this, and not feel horrible after, I can eat this almost every day. Thank you!

  Very simply a great little hidden away hole in the wall Texas BBQ place. The kind that has some really nice unique qualities. As it should be, if they run out, they run out, "you should have gotten here sooner" with a smile of coarse. The sauce is like none I've tasted, but really fantastic. Good green beans, really really nice smoked turkey. Great cropped beef. If the local cops are there eating that's a good sign.
