My partner and I had a quick bite one night and it was really really good. We are definitely going back. Good food and from the look of the restaurant, it’s probably a good time when it’s packed. We showed up not long before they closed but saw they had a patio.

It's clearly just recently opened and is planning to expand, but the food and the atmosphere is absolutely amazing. We went on a weeknight and they only had one person working so it was slower service, but he was doing his best. It's confusing and unclear what you're supposed to do when you get in there. I'll save you the trouble, find yourself a table. Order at the counter or use the QR code at the indoor tables. It appears they have a machine you can do...

Food was absolutely out of this world. Tips fell off the vine before they hit my teeth and don’t get me started on the prime brisket. But if you add that bbq sauce then you’re taking it next level. Amazing food
