"Yellow Rose Smokehouse is a hidden gem for barbecue enthusiasts. I recently had the pleasure of trying their Double Decker Grilled Cheese, and it was nothing short of amazing. The combination of perfectly melted cheese, smoky flavors, and crispy bread created a mouthwatering experience. The shack itself exudes a charming and cozy atmosphere, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. If you're in the mood for some outstanding barbecue, make sure to stop by Yellow Rose Smokehouse and indulge in their delightful Double Decker Grilled Cheese. You won't be disappointed!"

"I had the Russian Pig, very good with the sauer kraut & sauce on a great pretzel bun. The chicken salad sandwich was more than my wife could eat, but she ordered brownie (huge) with ice cream on top, more than we could both eat on top of the lunch. First time there, I wasn't diappointed."
