    Huge Delicious Pulled Pork Sandwiches!

    Visited Willy's Bar-B-Que yesterday and was thrilled with their pulled pork! The sandwich was huge, bread was fresh and held together. Their tangy sauce is delicious -- not too hot in flavor, but just perfect. Their cole slaw is good too.

    There was a BBQ festival in town but we decided to try Willy's. Potato Salad was excellent if you like loaded baked potato salad. The ribs were excellent as well.
