Our authentic BBQ starts in a live-wood smoker stoked with genuine hickory logs. Our pitmasters hand-rub the meats with a custom blend of spices and cook for hours to extract the natural flavors. We source the highest quality meats and trim them up like we’re in a competition and hand-rub them with the freshest seasonings available to create mouthwatering experiences! In addition to our BBQ and grilled meats, our menu features a selection of salads, sandwiches, side items, and made-from-scratch desserts.

    The quality of the meat is really good, better than all of the AYCE Korean BBQ places I've been to. And it's very reasonable price. We ended up paid less than AYCE. I will come back again.

    Brio was its usual very good experience. Food was prepared as ordered and was delicious. Martin our server did his usual exceptional job and always does his best to provide first class service. It looks like they have raised prices since November but I guess that is a sign of the times. A small negative is that they no longer offer sourdough bread which was the best in the area.

    Our server Emily was fantastic! Chicken parm was delicious but edges were overcooked. The pancetta on the carbonara was chewy and crunchy is preferred. Overall love this place and usually the food is a 5/5. Also wish the tables for 4 were a bit bigger. Hard to fit everything on it especially when 3 of our 4 meals came with a side of spaghetti. Kudos to Emily. She was hustling many tables. She was personable, did a great job and was very efficient. Next time we come we would ask if she’s working and ask to be seated one of her tables.
