“The Rosh Hashanah dinner was soooo wonderful, it was well prepared and presented, delicious and perfect in every way. The restaurant is visually appealing, and the music was quite to our liking and yet soft enough that we could chat comfortably. Service (Hannah) was excellent. We will definitely enjoy coming back!“

“This was our first visit. I had the lean brisket burnt ends, my friends had the ribs. Both were wonderful! The burnt ends were tender and the ribs were moist and tender as well—Perfection! Cheyenne, our server was kind, very friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. I wish I could give 10 stars. We were told the BBQ is no# 1 in Florida and no# 9 in the nation. I do not doubt it! Also, the ladies’ restroom was very clean.“
