   Music was very millennial friendly! Brisket was dry and needed bbq sauce desperately. But overall the service was great and the ambiance was good as well. I did had to pay $15 for parking across the street. But i will definitely come back to try something else.

   Disappointing from walking in the door til meals end. Front of house was a mess and it took 20 minutes to get a table, despite ample available space and a reservation. The table was dirty and we had to request it be cleaned twice. The service was ok but chaotic. The waitress was nice, but had too many tables to properly take care of them. The food was disappointing, with the burger I ordered being the size of a McDonald’s cheeseburger, and only well done being an option. Finally it took 20 minutes to pay, with our card gone the entire time. All in all a rough dining experience. Would not visit again, and would not recommend.

   Made reservations for dinner on a Saturday. Was empty upon arrival at 6 but within 5 min it was packed. They didn’t have any air conditioning on and it was 95+ out. The drinks were super slow coming out to us and some even got our drinks after appetizers. Service was a mess. They ran out of different types of drinks and ingredients to make the ones on their menu. When we left we said another place we don’t need to go back to.

   The food was excellent! Everything was great! The waitress was the worst waitress we’ve had in years! Just awful! The table when we sat down was sticky we asked her if we could get a wipe on it and she brought cocktail napkins to wipe it off. It just went on from there. She only served drinks from one side of the table and it’s a freestanding table, so everybody had to slide their drinks or food across, but she was really quick at picking up the check! But she was absolutely the worst. This restaurant does a disservice by having her as an employee because the food is so good.

   Enjoyed having Jennifer as our waitress. She is on the ball. Really nice atmosphere and the food was fantastic. Try the asparagus fries, yummy.

   Probably one of the worst experiences I’ve had at a restaurant in a very long time. The staff was not very friendly at all. From the moment we walked in we felt that everyone was very rude and overwhelmed. It was 48° outside and they had the front doors open. When I told them it was freezing and if they could please close the front doors the hostess told me no they are going to keep them open. The music was so loud you couldn’t even hear yourself talk. We waited an hour for a food and it really wasn’t good at all. I will not be going back there, ever!

   3 x $24 for loaded baked potatoes that were still hard. No thank you. Couldn’t eat the outer portions because they were still hard/uncooked. The restaurant was unusually empty. Perhaps it was due to the weather, but I will not be dining here again. Food used to be satisfying.

    The food and pricing were about average for barbecue. We sat outside and it was pleasant seating with low noise.
