More than just BBQ. We enjoyed the inventive menu, particularly the pork belly egg rolls, Korean BBQ tacos and Mac and cheese. The flavors were fantastic and so many options for sauces that enhance the dishes.

TERRY BRAY

The food here is exceptionally wonderful. Everything is smoked by the owner had a wonderful smoked beet and pear salad with bacon, wrapped dates and 3 different meat slider sandwiches with 3 homemade accenting sauces, an absolute joy to dying at this location.

Was super impressed with this spot. The owner was so friendly, and hospitable. The service was really good. And they have a really diverse menu, with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. 👍👍

My friend and I came here after I made a joke about going there for lunch- I am vegan, and usually BBQ places don’t have any options. Thank goodness we looked at the menu because this place has MULTIPLE vegan options! It was such a pleasant surprise, and the owner went above and beyond in general, but especially after learning I was vegan with a gluten sensitivity. Unfortunately, they were out of their gluten free bun, but he used his gluten free pizza dough to make kind of a flat bread sandwich out of the Maggi Shiitake Mushroom sandwich. It was absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend after the treatment from the owner and staff as well as the wonderfully tasty meals we both had! We will be back again and again.

We were just passing through the area, and it was such a nice surprise to come across this place. We were craving some grilled meat and totally lucked out.

On a Tuesday, the restaurant was pretty quiet, but right as we got to the door and were checking out the menu, a super friendly and upbeat guy encouraged us to come in. He was so convincing that we didn’t even think twice—we walked right in.

The food was great, and the service was really warm and welcoming. They gave us good recommendations and explained the dishes to us.

What really stood out was the kind invitation from the local at the entrance. If you’re reading this: thank you so much! We’re really grateful. The owner also came by to say hi, which was really nice. We even chatted about his amazing cheesecake (highly recommended!).

We’re hoping to come back next year on our next trip through California. Definitely a spot worth repeating.

The food is delicious. My go to is the brisket. Beer selection is great. The service can be a tad slower but that's because they freshly prepared many of the items on the menu. Well worth the wait

What a special treat to have found this spot! The ribs, mac and cheese, deviled eggs, fries, and avocado fries did not dissapoint. The chef/owner belongs on Top Chef with his culinary skills. Can't wait to see where his journey takes them!
