It's the best barbecue in the world. Not even joking. The best. Go early and expect to wait in a long line. Pro tip: Rainy and super hot days you have a better chance of making it in a tiny bit later in the day, before they run out. Obviously, dress for the weather and byo drinks for waiting out the line!
