• Try the fruit shortcake from our 100 Best list: This sweet-as-pie biscuit-and-fruit concoction (the fruit varies with the season) is good enough to go toe-to-toe with any of the fancier takes.

• Tri-tip sandwich and smokey BBQ, is the way to go. So damn good. Fries are awesome too!

• The food is good, but it's not worth the wait or the crowded eating conditions. Look elsewhere if there's a wait.

• Amazing pulled pork. The meat has incredible flavor on its own, and then you can choose from their line of sauced to add a regional style. I recommend the vjnegar-based ENC.
