    Husband & I dined on a Saturday evening with 6PM reservations as Mothers Day was next day. I find reservations are best here as it gets very crowded. Entree ordered was Smash's Mac for me. Noodles with homemade beer sauce & topped with Braised short rib. Have ordered before and just as good as before. Large portion to take home and enjoy again. Delicious! Husband ordered Ghost Burger with creamy Garlic Parm, pepper jack & jalapeno jelly, tomato & arugula on brioche bun , served with Garlic Vampire Fries. Another delicious entree that will be ordered again! Our server Dylan took great care of us. Thank you !See you again very soon!
