    3 people 6 alcoholic drinks 12 items ordered $175 Everything was great, such a fun time. 2 of us had been there before, the third had never visited and by the end loved it. Would recommend groups of 2 or 3 makes it easier to cook and serve.

    Fantastic food and the service was great! We arrived 30 minutes early and were happy to be able to be seated early. It was the perfect amount of food for 3 people and the server came often enough to check on us and change out the grill plate. Also the ventilation is better than I expected because we did not totally reek of BBQ afterwards.

    Been here before and to other locations food was good and as expected. We were 10 minutes late and when we called the restaurant while en route, the hostess warned us that she could not hold our table beyond the 15 min grace period and that we’d have to wait 15 minutes until their next reservation slot for a table. We arrived about 1 minute later (within the 15 min grace period) to discover an empty hostess stand and an uncrowded restaurant. When the hostess eventually returned to the hostess stand she would not seat us because 1 member of our party was outside parking the car. We were with children and elderly grandparents, one with mobility issues, and it was of of the children’s birthday. The hostess was hung up on enforcing the restaurant’s seating policies during an unbusy time instead of showing our party any sort of hospitality. She was officious, confrontational and unpleasant to interact with. The manager was called and we were seated. Service from our waiter was attentive.

    Prices appear high at first hey the quantity we ordered was in the end worth it. Meats were delicious and they came back often to change the grill. Orders came out fast. Got to have the cheese corn, we had a total of five orders. Our out of town guests enjoyed the meal.
