Think of a fast casual burrito place but imagine it better. That’s Pescado’s. It is easy to get a tasty, healthy and colorful meal here. Also not many local restaurants are open on a Sunday but they usually are!

Name is now Smoke On.
The best BBQ.
Get the brisket. Get their fries.
Get the K.C. Jones sandwich or brisket tacos. Or whatever sounds good to you. I’m not sure you can go wrong.
But also, this is drive thru, no seating.
So grab your food and take it to the house or if weather is nice take it outside somewhere.
