Read morelong story: visit weekly as I live near the Ohio River. always get the same. pulled pork sammich. two trips ago, they were out of their norm & substituted. please don't. it was chunked, tough, & crumbled down my chest. :'l showed up last week, discussed the previous week, & the VERY NICE girl assured me it was their normal meat. YAY! - get our order, hit the highway. 45 minutes to an hour down 35. (no restrooms) my stomach began to hurt. by the time I was an hour into my two hour trip, I was sick sick. belly cramping, sweating, nauseous, extreme belly pain- once I got home, it took another 4 hours to feel better. only thing I had eaten that afternoon, as I waited for my favorite!.
