So glad to see a new quality BBQ place in the area. We ordered baby back ribs (outstanding), 1/4 lb of pulled pork (outstanding -- moist, minimal fat, delicious), hot link sausage (delicious, just the right amount of heat). We also tried the collard greens (fantastic--maybe best ever, except waaay too much heat--inedible), and beans (ditto--nice quality ingredients but super hot). We love hot, spicy food but this level of spicy was too much for us. The to-go packaging: pulled pork box was too big and allowed all of the BBQ sauce to spill out all over the other packages. And they did not offer or provide sauce on the side. I think these guys are definitely on to something here, just having newbie issues that are super easy to fix. They got the important stuff right--meat dishes are perfection. We will definitely be back! I highly recommend this place. Just check in on the spice levels of the sides and request sauce on the side if you like BBQ sauce on your BBQ meat.

My favorite place for tasty burgers. The service here is attentive. The bill was fair for the quality of food.

Well couldn't tell you about the food, but can certainly comment on the customer service. Found this place on yelp and wanted to try it out with my parents. However the rude a** blonde b**** working the register changed that. She was stank face and extremely rude. I was with my mother while trying to place the order and she even picked up on her bad vibes. So I canceled my order and walked away. Well one good thing is that the restaurant is located in food hall and there's plenty of other places eat. So we grabbed food from Cross street chicken, El Puerto street tacos, Lobster west, and Mediterranean house. All other restaurants everyone was super friendly and well tipped. So if you go to this restaurant and see blonde b******** f*** her and walk away!

Stopped for lunch today. Stick to the salads. My spinach salad was very large, generous with the hearts of Palm, the avocado was perfectly ripe & spinach was fresh. My hubby's lil B.I.G slider was just fair. His fries were dry & cold. I would've taken them back & asked for fresh, they were that bad, but he was too lazy. 5 star salad3 star slider2 star fries. I rounded up & giving some grace under these covid times.

This was my first time here. I had been waiting for them to open since COVID. I ordered the Beet Down Salad without the goat cheese. The salad was beautiful and deceivingly big. I enjoyed the beets and the hearts of palm and there was a ton of both. Next time I may ask for a little more dressing. They have a pretty big menu here and friendly service. Luckily there's a pretty big outdoor seating area at the Windmill so we didn't have a problem finding a table. Hopefully indoor dining will be allowed ASAP for the sake of all restaurant owners.

3.5. My friends kid loved her slider and the crisp onion ring was a true delight. Decent tater tots but we weren't expecting the kids meal Mac 'N cheese to be what I'm assuming is Kraft Mac from a box. Apologies if I'm wrong but the taste and look were close. At least upgrade to some Annie's man. Kids meal comes with tots and juice for 7 bucks.

I've eaten here twice. I wanted to love it because I don't particularly eat a lot, and when I go to a food hall, I want to try a variety of spots. Both times visiting the Windmill Food Hall I found myself ordering from here, but sadly I won't be returning to this particular spot. First time: Order was delivered quickly and staff are pleasant. Ordered BBQ Brisket slider. The sweet sauce covered the dry texture of the sad brisket. The potato bun is obviously mass produced and sub-quality. Nothing stood out & I've had far better. Second time: Post-COVID! Staff masked & ready to serve, but it didn't look like they really cleaned those pagers. Ordered Lil B.I.G. slider. I think it was the FIRST time ever in my life that I threw away bacon. It was dry, almost jerky-like, and tasted like it was 3 days old. The beef was okay & the onion ring was probably the highlight. Note to self: If I ever choose to eat anything in that sauce or potato bun again, I've decided to become a masochist.

I ordered from here for the first time to support the family whose child attends the same elementary school as my son. This will also be the LAST time I go. We just had some restrictions eased due to covid-19 with restaurants only a few days ago, but masks and gloves are still required indefinitely. There was one man and a woman outside talking without wearing a mask. Okay, they could have been coming or going from any of the businesses in the strip mall. Yet, when I went inside, literally NO ONE was wearing a mask. There was a customer sitting at the bar counter drinking a beer with no mask at all. The woman employee had her mask around her chin/neck area. The other employee was talking to another man on the patio and neither were wearing masks at all! I realized later that the man outside talking to the woman was the manager! YIKES! They did put on their masks when I complained and asked for my money back. Way too late since my food was "ready for pick-up". I am so APPALLED that they do NOT care about their customers, employees, nor the law!

They have a kids menu!!!! Perfect for my little nephew and so easy. He's a picky eater and loved everything on the menu. The customer service here is good.. lady at the front was super sweet and patient. The sweet potato tots are the best! Highly recommend and super crunchy yet soft and slightly sweet inside.

A little pricey, but the overall quality is great. The sweet potato tots are tasty but they were layered on a pile of lettuce which left an unnecessary amount of greasy lettuce. The Chicago dog is packed with toppings. I only wish the bun was a bit bigger to better hold everything. Towards the end I ended up eating it with a fork. The Cardiff crack sliders were very good but did not come with that much meat.

I enjoyed this place a lot! I wanted something small since we were just having cocktails at the bar. Ordered two briskets sliders for myself and one chili dog. The young man who took our order was friendly and very helpful. We received a little buzzer to know when our food can be picked up. As we walked to the bar, we decided to go back and order some extras. We went to sit down and order our drinks and immediately after our food was already. We enjoyed it a lot! It is not a particularly large portion but as appetizers it's really delicious!

Tater tots? Sure, why not? I will admit, this is the only thing I got here and for a single order of tots, it took awhile to prepare. My Cross Street Chicken actually came out quicker than these. However, I loved how inexpensive they were and the crispy exterior and soft interior was exactly what I was hoping for. I think I paid about $3-$4 for a big basket of tots. So sorry CSCB. I will always get my tots at Notorious Sliders and Salads for that reason. Service is friendly enough and you are given a buzzer to notify you when your food is ready. When I come back and try more of their menu items, I will update. I took off a star because I felt like it took forever for them to come out and it wasn't a particularly busy day.

Located in the back of the food hall. Lots of seating in the corner. Bun on the sliders was perfect and soft/pillowy. Lil big: giant onion, salty bacon. This was okay, burger patty a little over. Brisket: super hot, a little fatty/dry. Overall the flavors were only okay. Size is good for the price. Staff friendly.

Had the Notorious and Lil BIG slider. Both were excellent, I thought the Notorious was a little better.

Excellent! Got a slider and onion rings. Some of the best onion rings I have ever had.
