We went for dinner tonight and had an amazing experience. The staff was super friendly, he helped us navigate the menu and made great suggestions. We got a combo platter so we could share and try it all. The meat melted in your mouth and the flavor was so good. We will definitely be back!
Not BBQ by a long shot and zero smoke flavor. I get more smoke flavor out of my oven. Paying 30$ for a half rack of pork spare when you receive 4 bones membrane still on and tendons intact fully is a rip off!! Money is not the issue but paying that much for that quality and horseshit quantity is pretty horrible!! DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!! Maybe start with the proper butchering techniques
