We had the epic combo for two and the prime rib was absolutely delicious! The ribs were nice and juicy. Plenty of food for the both of us. The service was what really made that place. Pam and Phil were welcoming, knowledgeable and gave the place life. 10/10 Will patron again!

Not a huge volume of food for what you pay but great quality. Parking is tough.

Misrepresented a special order for 2, @ $115. Manager Acknowledged the error, however, wanted the customer to accept the misconception. The experience was very upsetting. I will not return to the establishment, and advise all customers to be aware that you might not get what the order claims it is, even when you asked before ordering your meal.

Very disappointing experience overall.
We were excited to try this smokehouse and made a reservation for 4 PM. When we arrived, the restaurant was completely empty — we were literally the only guests — which should have been our first clue. Despite that, we had to wait to be seated.
I asked about a cocktail called Them Apples and was told it was “really good,” but the waitress couldn’t explain what “bitters” were. When the drink arrived, it was unbearably bitter, and I had to exchange it for a blackberry lemonade, which was okay, but nothing special.
Our food took 37 minutes to arrive even though no one else was dining. We ordered wings, creamed spinach, jambalaya pasta, crab cakes, calamari, a kids’ chicken tenders meal, and the ancho Caesar salad. The food was extremely inconsistent:
Wings – flavorful but way too heavy on the liquid smoke. The worst part: several pieces still had feathers on them.
Creamed spinach – delicious and probably the best thing we had.
Calamari – decent flavor.
Ancho Caesar salad – we specifically asked if it contained anchovies, were told no, but the dressing did. It ruined the dish for my husband, and it had to be removed.
Jambalaya pasta – good seasoning but full of big, uncut mushroom chunks.
Crab cakes ($44.99) – tiny portions and filled with shells in almost every bite.
Fries – hard, almost burnt on some plates, but my daughter’s to‑go fries were good.
Kids’ chicken tenders – overcooked, tough, flavorless, and had a burnt smell; we didn’t realize how bad they were until we got home.
Baked potato – served dry with just butter, no toppings.
For a $176 meal, the overall quality, service, and attention to detail were incredibly disappointing. Drinks were slow, food took far too long, and nearly every dish had an issue. Sadly, we won’t be returning.

Food is absolutely delicious and service is superb.
This place had surprisingly good food and unbelievably fast service. Highly recommend it for a business casual eating spot with great smoked meats and grilled food. The pork shank, ribeye, and steak frites were all enjoyed by our group.

I was told this was a BBQ/Smokehouse. It was neither. The wings were pretty good. Service was decent. Candied bacon was blah.
A must try for wings fans.

Amazing food! We go there almost weekly. Our best picks are the Jambalaya pasta, Burnt mac, Crab stuffed salmon, and the Poutine. Staff are very friendly especially Pam. Definitely recommend visiting.

Ordered a turkey for Thanksgiving. Literally tasted like campfire smoke, not actual smoked meat. For $135 it was quite possibly the worst thing I've ever had. Doesnt look anything like the picture on their website.
