I was extremely disappointed with this place after seeing so many good reviews. I ordered two pulled pork sandwiches and they were the driest pulled pork I've ever had. There was no sauce on the pork, but luckily I had some chick-fil-a sauce that I was able to put on the sandwich so it was swallowable. I also had two sides of mac 'n' cheese with the sandwich. However, it had so much pepper and was not enjoyable at all. Overall, super disappointed with this restaurant :(

Great food and lovely service. We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon after a hockey tournament (the rink is right next door) while trying to wait out a snowstorm. It wasn't very busy so we had a dedicated server who was lovely and great with kids. I had the pulled pork your way and chose to get it on a bun with a side salad. The salad was surprisingly fresh and crisp for a bbq place and the pulled pork was nice - not covered in sauce and not too dry. They have a sauce station where you can pick and choose from their house made bbq sauces. This was really fun and unique! My daughter had the kids meal with Mac and cheese and a side of fries. The fries were amazing and I finished most of hers! She was also highly impressed by the amount of crayon colours they had to keep her busy. Kids also get a dessert, we chose the cookie to go as we had to get on the road. The decor was on point with a modern bbq joint. There was a lot of different seating options, tables and bar seats. The music was also well chosen and fit the theme, but wasn't overpowering. Would be a fun place to try when they have live music nights.

Emma was an amazing server with a pleasant energy and great service! The food was amazing though on the platter sampler, some of the meat was cold, but it was still delicious!

Two of us shared a sampler platter, anjitos, banana pudding and each grabbed a beer. The bill was 87$The jalapeños sausage, anjitos, and banana pudding were on point. Beer battered fries - fantastic. Lots of beer and whisky options. The chicken had a good brine/flavour but the smoke ring was borderline too strong - and I love a good smoke. For the beef brisket and pork butt I was disappointed- both were dried out completely. They were salvageable only with sauce. So for a meat place I only enjoyed 1 of the 4 options given. Love the idea of the sampler.I had order take out before and dined in for the first time. It is a very loud atmosphere - I did feel like I had to yell my conversation.One thing that did bother me were the amount of fruit flies … this made me question the cleanliness of the kitchen and bar.The bathroom is very small and could use some sprucing up/decor.Our server was great. But service was slow.
Emma was fantastic!! We had a big group of hockey kids and parents on a late Saturday night! Amazing service!!! ?

The food was average and came to the table cold. It wasn't very busy when we were there, and the service was a little on the slow side. Nice place, servers were nice, but a very underwhelming experience. The scotch flights are a nice concept, but there was not 1/2 Oz in each glass. The place has potential.
