Kind of a hidden place. Very cozy atmosphere. Food is amazing. We had fish tacos and ribs and then the amazing homemade carrot cake and the food was delicious. Best carrot cake and ribs ever and same for fish tacos. Highly recommend!!

Food was really good, one dinner plate came out shorted on meat but but our waitress/ night manager took care of it Immediately. Also very apologetically and did us right by giving us some food vouchers for next time, was not expected. Had a great time!

Great evening out meeting friends and fam.
They were packed, which I guess is the norm, but even with that service was good. What everyone ordered was fantastic (including kids) and was a super enjoyable evening in a fun atmosphere.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of stuff for kids to do.

I just ordered takeout from here. We ordered the BBQ combo and the meat was incredibly dry. They don't include BBQ sauce (which I would have asked for had I not ordered takeout and my daughter picked up). They portions are smaller than other local BBQ places and the price was $10 more than at the closest competing BBQ place for the exact same meal (and I think smaller portion). It is a fun place to have a drink but I'd eat before you go
