Yelp / Denise R. This place is so good that it was actually included on a previous “Mouthwatering Restaurants” post - but you’ll agree on its worthiness after you check out their Moose Creek Classic made with smoked brisket, roasted peppers & onions, provolone cheese, pepperoncinis, and original sauce on a grilled bun.
