Must OrderPulled Pork Nachos

Springfield neighborhood gem operating on this historic site since 1903, dishing up pull-apart hickory-smoked pulled pork nachos and ribs that define Ozarks comfort eating. We made the drive and it absolutely delivered. The Pulled Pork Nachos is the move, order it, thank us later. This is exactly the kind of spot Dirty Potato exists to celebrate: real food, real place, worth leaving the house for.
