someone tell me what is up with the hippie / pizza connection?

While New York Pizza was tasty I think I will be reserving it for take out only. Since I do not have have kids the vibe doesn't quite suit me. If you do have kids, a large party or just want to escape the scene absolutely go!

Saw's BBQ


open table, grab it while it's hot


no loyalty just football and bbq



small kitchen, big plates. i saw some ribs coming out....holy cow!


lunch is jamming, expect to wait in line a few minutes


legend has it that this sauce was the inspiration for the operation


condiments are great but my meal didn't require any extra attention


smoked chicken sandwich with white bbq sauce. i'm in love!!


cole slaw and deviled eggs


saw's original pulled pork sandwich


with potato salad


the good ice. is there a better term than pellet ice?


sour cream pound cake from a distance


I've heard so many amazing things about Saw's and it definitely lived up to it's reputation. The service is fast and friendly and most importantly the food is great! In addition to the sandwiches and plates they also serve up gigantasaurus stuffed taters and even a carolina dog with chili and slaw. I'll be back (insert governator voice)!

Mudtown


open 7 days a week, nice!


patio dining with a view of Green Valley


bourbon smash: fresh raspberries, maker's mark, and lime. It was way past noon.....


this isn't gonna work as a sandwich is it?


fried green tomato sandwich with bacon of course


grilled tilapia sandwich with crispy fries and rings


Between the bourbon smash and the mater sandwich I am officially won over by Mudtown. The dining room is small so it's best to go during off peak hours.
I'll be back!
