“What a hidden gem that we stumbled upon! We will be back over and over again! First time was amazing so we drove 45 minutes today to see if it was a fluke or just that good! Incredible is all I can say. Needless to say we’ll be back. The shrimp appetizer is so good. And to date my favorite blacken ahi tuna bowl. Not to mention a wicked espresso martini❤️. Highly recommend! Great staff and amazing chef! You won’t be disappointed.”

“Let’s start with the ambiance, absolutely stunning. Food is super flavorful, cooked well, and served fresh! Staff is very friendly and helpful. My only note would be the Birria recipe needs revision.”

“BILL is the man.. I am a big rig truck driver . And snow ❄️ has fallen in NC and EVERYTHING was closed . , not only ( COOK OUT ) WAS OPEN , but surviving the full , HOWEVER I cant fit in the drive through windows cuz of my BIG ass truck , so I walked a block in the snow walked to the window and ask if I can order even tho I cant fit in the drive thru..

Not only BILL took my order. He didn't want me to wait in the cold ,so he made my order right there .. I tried to tip him for the trouble but he also refused the tip

Not sure if BILL is a manager or a worker, but this was very we'll appreciated and people like him is why I always try to do the best for people. Cuz IT WILL COME BACK AROUND

Thanks BILL, with absolutely everything CLOSED cuz of the snow ❄️ 🙄 I could have starved to death 😳 🤣 hahaha”
