Busy place, need to wait even with reservations. Therefore, reservations are recommended. Great food, very friendly and nice service. Very good experience. It’s very different with regular restaurants, like crab shack by the sea! We like it very much.

It was a very good experience. The food was delicious. The server was nice. It's a BBQ place, and it was a surprise that the ambiance was quiet (at least in that time we were there) even though there were many occupied tables. I certainly recommend it.
