Serving our customers in Southern Illinois from our very large Red mobile BBQ trailer has turned into a passion and career for both of us.

Bad experience
Did not get what I ordered. This has happened before.
Edit: Shirley, In response to your earlier reply to my review, the one star review is not for my misunderstanding when I ordered. It is for the overall bad experience I had with you because I misunderstood.

The food is amazing
The food is amazing. I've loved everything I've tried. We've traveled 30 to 40 miles just because we were craving it one day. It's definitely worth the money.
