Papa Jim said it best: the food is ON.

The smoker sits outside the store under its own canopy, and Papa Jim runs it. Our ribs have a following. Wellington County’s Taste Real food guide calls them the must-taste item.

It’s the same food every week, done the same way, so you know what you’re getting: baby backs on Thursday and Sunday, jerk on Friday, a full smokehouse spread on Saturday.

“The smells as we drove by made us come back for lunch!!!”
