For the PNW area this is a pretty good BBQ joint. I am from North Carolina and had a Dallas person on our table and we both agreed the food was pretty good and the real thing. Service was a bit spotty. Our server was nice, but they were not appropriately staffed on a Wednesday. If you are looking for good BBQ at good prices, this is a good place to visit.

Overall, a great experience. Strange that the front door was left open the entire night on a very chilly evening. There was some of problem with the lock where (-according to the hostess) the door had to be fully open or closed and several patrons complained about it being open. The power went off at some point because of the bomb cyclone, but the team handled it very well. Would definitely return.

The salmon risotto dish was outstanding. We also tried the lemon butter cake for dessert and will definitely order it again. Mark Dufresne and the musicians were amazing. We love the new schedule for music.
