Enjoyed a nice lunch burger and fries for lunch for only $10. Fries were pretty amazing. Burger was good, could have been a bit bigger, but on the bright side, I can actually function at work for the rest of the day. Great location right in Five Points.

The venue was really cool and the TVs were huge. Sadly they had some sort of a/c issue so the place smelled like mold. The hush puppies were good but the rest of the food was rather poor. The chips on the nachos were stale. The ribs and pulled pork were over cooked. The salsa was really tasty though. Sadly we won't be coming back unless we hear the food has improved.

I really wanted to like this place. Today (9/29/2024) my boyfriend and immediately left after watching a disturbing interaction between the manager and a young female server. Regardless of the scenario, this was unacceptable behavior. Dear Mr. Manager, please treat your staff with respect, especially women! You've officially lost 2 customers.

We have given this place 4 chances because it's close to our house. The food is not good. Sausages have good flavor, but swimming in grease. I got the chicken and dumpling soup that had literally one tiny dumpling. Ribs were very salty and chewy. Wings tasted oily and old.
It's really too bad. Midwood Smokehouse is a much better choice and only a mile further down the road. I'm truly shocked by the poor food quality.

Excellent food and drinks. Brenda was the manager on duty. She was exceptional in making sure we had the best dining experience possible!

Tried this place as we had been in Charlotte. Highly disappointed. Mac n cheese had little taste and was not even lukewarm. I would have had it heated up but the waiter never came back. Likely not his fault because he was handling half the restaurant. That’s why I didn’t want to complain. The pork was ok, very dry. The slaw was ok but I had my husband taste it and he felt the cabbage was old. We had high hopes. We saw others complain that they never got served and so may have been lack of help, but not sure we will try again. Good it too expensive to waist money if it’s no good. Sorry to report bad things, we rarely complain.

The service was unbelievably slow. Took us nearly 2 hours to get food. Drinks came one at a time from the bar and took forever to get as well. Food was hit and miss - their BBQ wasn’t great, very dry and bland. The Mac bowl was pretty tasty on the other hand.

Great spot for a casual bite to eat! My boyfriend and I stopped by yesterday to use our Offline offers (we had never heard of this place before) and everything was super yummy!

The hush puppies & honey butter they come with are delicious (and quite a steal for $1.50!). I wish the wings were a little more crispy (they were grilled, not fried), but I’m sure the dry rub would have been a better option for me. Their homemade blue cheese is also some of the best I’ve had! I got the barbecue plate (good bbq with lots of sauces to choose from), but the star of the show was the mac and cheese. Absolutely divine! They had lots of drafts to choose from as well; a good variety.

Our service was great & the vibe is nice if you’re looking for a slightly elevated sports pub feel. Overall, definitely worth a stop by!

Vegetarian options: They have lots of sides to choose from, all vegetarian! Definitely a meat-centric spot, but you’ll be able to find some yummy stuff regardless.

Parking: Very limited street parking so you may have to walk a few blocks depending on how busy it is.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids there when I went, seems like a very palatable menu for kids too!

Loved the environment here! The live music was solid, the Mac and cheese was wonderful, and the fried okra was fantastic. Our sever was sweet and attentive to us and was a blast to laugh with. Will definitely be coming back with more people in tow!

Place is a hidden wonder! We're not familiar with the area and they've only been open since April. Great service, GM or owner stopped by and even genuinely chatted with us. Food and drinks were great. We will be back!

My wife and I opened the place up on a Saturday at 11a and the staff welcomed us in with a smile. Matt did a fantastic job taking care of us and the manager even checked in after our meal to make sure we were satisfied. I’ve been to the location in Greensboro and was happy to see the service was the same level I’ve come to expect.
