I like a sweeter BBQ sauce so I added a bit of Stevia sugar substitute to sweeten it up. It was just right after I added the sweetener. Neither of us tried the mustard based sauce.

The biscuits were flakey and delicious. Burke's serves real butter too.

The sweet potato casserole with the crunchy pecan topping was really good.....more like mashed sweet potatoes with a crunchy topping.

The stewed Granny Smith apples were too soft and not sweet enough for me. I added a bit of Stevia sugar substitute and the taste was so much better. Still a bit soft with the texture though.

Burke's has Coca Cola, not Pepsi, so hubby was happy about that.

We are going back.

Great, pan to try Burkes next week. I like that outside seating.
