    Incredible cheesesteaks! Sloppy, cheesey, meaty. You can easily make 2 or 3 big cheesesteaks out the one. Cool mom & pop shop.

    There isn't a menu selection that isn't incredible. From either side of the road. The rib shack or seafood place. You will enjoy every selection. Dr. Bones and the staff are both knowledgeable and social. Enjoy !

    Food is good. There is a smoker outside where they prepare the ribs, chickens, etc. Ribs are juicy and out of this world. Collard greens are the chef's mom's recipe. Outstanding

    Ironically the best cheesesteak I've ever had. And it's not in Philly. TIP: Call before you go to confirm their hours of the day. I was driving on a Sunday from NYC and arrived close to 4pm. The kitchen was 10 minutes from closing.
