Dry-rubbed pulled pork on a bun. The few diners who name it call it wonderful and smoky, but the sample is small and there is no criticism to weigh it against.

Heavily smoked pork served with coleslaw, called delicious by most who name it. It sells out early on busy days, and one regular ranks it a step below the city's best.

Slow-cooked pork with a vinegar hog wash served on the side. Small but consistent praise alongside the brisket; the one pan is fatty, spicy meat when lean was asked for.

Twelve-hour smoked pork under house slaw and honey barbecue sauce. Named by some as the best pulled pork in the South Bay; others find it under-smoked, dry or served cold.

The same smoked pork board as the north branch, on a brioche bun with the toppings on the side. Named among the meats that are on point; the complaints are dryness and price.

House-smoked pork shoulder with Carolina gold sauce and cabbage slaw on a potato bun. Called fantastic by the few who name it, but the evidence here is thin.

Slow-roasted rather than smoked, plated with mashed potatoes and gravy and available all day. Named as a house speciality, but almost nobody has written about how it eats.

Sold as a sandwich and as sliders. One diner rates the bark and smoke ring highly, but more report it dried out, under-smoked, or a small scoop for what it costs.
