Must do the line up to order, then go to your table & they will bring your food by saying your name.Food was excellent. My son & I shared a Special Pete, smoke meat sandwich with fries, coselaw & a Cott Cherry Coke. Music was a bit load(not live). I will go back for live Blues Band for sure. Asked for gravy but it was 5$ for a small cup so we decided to pass, I guess whatever little extra the kitchen must do is a big bother so they are trying to discourage you. They serve a little cup of ribs while in the line to order.

Fantastically authentic, Pete's won't disappoint. Their luscious ribs, smoked meat platter were generously portioned & left us wanting more. Kudos to the staff for the samples, you sold us when we walked in.

If you like ribs & smoked meat this is the place it was amazing & oh yes don't forget the cheesecake. It's a family-owned restaurant. The place reminds me of an old wooden cottage. The service was great & friendly. The band that performed were great. They played oldies which we sang along with them all evening. The place is not that big & they don't take reservation. One of the owner gave out ice cream cone which we don't see free things much these days it was really appreciated especially from the kids. In the summer they have old vintage car shows in the parking lot so we will for sure go to that event.

Ambiance familiale. Le propriétaire chante & joue de la guitare sur un stage avec un band. Repas environ $20-$30 par personne. Il fait quand même un peu froid, alors la nourriture refroidi assez rapidement. Si vous aimez écouter un band en mangeant, c'est très bien. Faut juste manger vite, ou froid.
