to be honest, i had the same first impression when me wife and I were taken there...we did not stay for a drink either...i walked by many times afterwards and did not feel the need to stop in, still a little shady, was my opinion...one day we were introduced to barry by John and Bettye, long timers that stay at bar b barn...we felt welcome ever since then...one of our crew stayed their during this last reach...he may have been the guy on the porch....keep up the reports, please...great to meet you at the bash
