Hands down the best brisket sandwich I’ve ever had. Juicy, tasty and just so easy to eat. I had it with corn and fries, plus a fantastic root-beer.

If you haven’t been to Paul’s, please take the time to enjoy something in their outside area when it’s not deathly hot out! We love the atmosphere at Paul’s, and their food really never disappoints.

Great service. What got my attention was smoked turkey pot pie. The crust was cooked perfectly and had good flavor. Brisket was moist, ribs slightly dry but good flavor, no sauce needed.

Was traveling through and ordered ahead of time. Got the brisket and turkey. When I arrived, the food was ready and I noticed a patio out back. Having a dog, I asked I’d he could sit out with me and they allowed it . The food was good, the atmosphere was great and inside it was clean. This is almost a middle ground form my home to my daughter’s, so I will most definitely stop again

This BBQ is so good it should be illegal. Smoked brisket sandwiches here are going to be the end of my arteries I’m sure. The blackberry bread pudding will make you want to eat it first! I also enjoy the variety of beers and flavored sodas. The staff is always nice and friendly!

Wonderful food!! Very happy with everything we ate and even got some to go for the next day. We visited on our vacation so I probably will not be able to come back but I wish we had your restaurant in my hometown. The staff is very nice and fun. We really enjoyed our visit.

Best ribs ever!!!! Actually ALL the food is EXCELLENCE!! Everyone is so kind, friendly, and helpful. They always have a smile on their faces. Paul is a genuine friend to everyone. He always greets us with a smile! I love eating in the backyard! The music is live and entertaining, and Paul loves to join in with a Patriotic Song “The Star Spangled Banner”! I absolutely love everything about this place. It is one of our favorite regular hangouts.
