The interior is described as being surprisingly spacious. I took out to eat at the campsite, but the atmosphere likely provides a casual and welcoming setting for enjoying their barbecue and perhaps some draft beer. It’s the kind of place where the focus is on the food and the experience of trying a famous local spot.

⑤ Beer & Food Highlights

The star of the menu is undoubtedly their Texas Charcoal Barbecue(텍사스바베큐). A single order for takeout included a generous portion of barbecue, two scoops of potato salad, two sandwich halves, a cup of bean soup, and a side salad. The barbecue sauce is particularly noteworthy, described as having a unique flavor that some compare to authentic Texas barbecue. The bean soup had an interesting and distinct taste, likened to a mix of red bean porridge and ketchup. The tender and flavorful barbecue, especially when generously dipped in the sauce and paired with beer, is highlighted as a delicious experience.
