Pennie’s has the best BBQ meat in town in my opinion. And the best thing is, you can just walk to it from our Bungalow. They can get full and sell out in the early afternoon so call in and order for pickup. Great juicy chicken, super tender brisket, amazing sausages and their tamales are so so good. Make sure to ask about their home made banana puddings, you won’t regret it.
