A favorite neighborhood haunt for friends living on 4th Ave near the Union R stop. Back area is heated in winter. Food's great. Staff are fun and friendly.

There are playing cards and games freely available.

Literally the best sourdough BLT I’ve had late night! Also, don’t skip the Pepperocini bites. I couldn’t stop eating them. Definitely coming back to try more breakfast items. Let’s not forget the breakfast after 11pm menu. Literally obsessed!

Their pulled pork is incredible. The server was so kind. And I'm sorry, but a conveniently located place with one of the kitchens open latest that's ALSO delicious? Yes please. Additionally, they were super friendly - it wasn't very busy, and I loved that everyone was enjoying themselves with their own vibe (and some of that was being sociable and chatty with neighbors). Highly recommend.
And THEY USE DARK MEAT CHICKEN man, they understand flavor
