Ok bar but me and my 2 friends agreed it was the worst food weve been served in a restaurant before. Parts were inedible

Not the best of meals. Went in with a group of 4. 2 meals sent back due to being cold or barely warm meat. My plate was served with 4 small onion rings. When bartender was asked if they have any layers, she looked and starred with Guiness and IPAs. Not recommended!!!

First time here for my friend and me. He grew up in the south. I live there now. I was hungry for BBQ. The place is very small but it does have a great bar collection especially the scotch. They have Yamazaki. Service was very good. My friend had the brisket burger and said it was very dry. I had combo ribs and brisket. Brisket was tender but more fat than I like. Most surprising was the steamed broccoli and beans which I do not care for. This could be a good happy hour place.

All of the smoked meats are relatively lean and are very tasty. The chicken thighs and pork are my favorites. Dumplings and cordon bleu balls are great appetizers. Tofu is a good alternative for vegetarians and carnivores too. Good alcohol and beer choices.

Very cool spot! Our server was fantastic and the food was delicious! The inside had a great vibe and when the weather warms up the patio looks like it would be great time. She told us a DJ goes in at 10pm on Friday so that would be fun to check out some time. We will definitely go back!

I am a musician and my guitarist and I performed here this weekend. I have played over 300 shows in my lifetime and I have absolutely never had such a bad experience. Our shows are usually filled with positivity and joy so it was a bit of a shock. I don’t mean this in any way to brag- but Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie gave me a golden ticket to Hollywood on American Idol and it’s one of my proudest moments. I didn’t think my looks would be criticized at a pub, because I’m a singer not a model. The owner insults my looks before AND after the show, implying that I looked disappointing in person in comparison to my photos- I can't even make this up. I walked into the venue and as I was setting up, he told me I’m not as pretty as my photos. We received praise from many there on our set, so no, he’s not being honest when he speaks of other people’s feedback. He called me ugly the second that we started setting up (not kidding)
As I said, I’m not a model, I'm a singer (and a not bad looking one at that either, I am a 26 year old well presented and neat female). It was such an upsetting and bewildering experience. The crowd was so kind to us and I can't believe that jerk has a single friend or customer. YUCK. **Edit:
Here's an email after show from the owner, continuing to degrade my looks. The photo that I sent him that he's referring to, is my album art- so ofc I was all dressed up. Is this who you want to give business too?

We got take out of the shrimp and grits and the philly cheesesteak and it was the most disgusting and unappetizing food ever. the shrimp and grits costed $24 and gave a very small portion size it was also very dry and the smallest shrimp. the philly cheesesteak was also really small and the fries came absolutely soggy and unseasoned we had to cook the fries ourselfs which is not what you should do for a takeout. When we went in to pick up the order it was dead silent and that should had given us a sign. Overall it was not worth the $50 I paid for best it would be $30 something.

Food was bland. Atmosphere seemed like it was thrown together with scraps of things. Place was dead quiet. Barely anyone there. Owner is an old man who hit on my 21 year old friend. Steer clear.

I love this restaurant so much! It’s a local spot near where I live but the menu is very good and eclectic. The staff and owner are also great people. I highly recommend!
