I think of Pete's smoked meat like a biker hangout without the ruckess of the bikers. The food is good quality, the atmosphere is loud with either blues or rock music being pumped through a concert audio system. It's gained its notoriety from being consistent. It hasn't changed (apart from more seating) in 10 years

C'est la première fois que j'essaye la smoked meat de Pete, je suis agréablement surpris par le goût succulent, l'accueil chaleureux & surtout la quantité & la gourmandise que j'ai eu dans mon plat pour 15$. Franchement bravo ❤️
