It was my second time here, brought family and friends for the experience. Since we just so happened to be in the area for the night market, it was only befitting to stop in for something sweet and savory. Our server, Sarah D went above and beyond to ensure the sequence of service was executed in a timely manner and she made our dining experience a lovely one :)

My wife and I had been looking for a good BBQ place in our area. First we tried Lucille's, which was just ok, then it closed down. Then we tried Slow Hand, which was too tough and dry for our taste. Well it looks like third times a charm with this place! They have my favorites, the mac n cheese, bbq baked beans, and sweet tea. There's a good variety of food so anyone can find something that fits their tastes even if they don't want bbq itself. This place serves by far the best pork belly brisket I've ever tried. There are cuts of it that I could only describe as "bbq'd cream" the way it just melted in my mouth. I'd never had anything quite like it before! I didn't get to try the beef brisket, and it's apperently really difficult to get as I was told they haven't consistently had it since December, and when they do have it it's random and sells out in like 5 minutes. I'm perfectly happy with the pork brisket but the beef brisket MUST be pretty good too to be in such high demand.

Amazing food and amazing cocktails! Very clean and comfortable outside dining, it was a little cold and windy when we went but they had heaters all over so we barely felt it. Nice relaxed family friendly ambience and dogs are welcome on the outside patio. We enjoyed the music and the multiple tvs playing the game for those who wanted to watch. The service wasn't the best but I think we just caught our waitress on a bad day, we'll definitely be coming back.

I dine in with one of my peers for lunch. We first asked to sit outside and then we had change our mind and they were really nice about moving us to a table inside. The food was really delicious and it didn’t took a long time to make. I really like the decoration of the restaurant and vibe of it just felt nice. I would definitely come here again and try other food in the menu.
