Great service and nice food! We got the popcorn chicken which was perfectly crispy, the mac and cheese which is my favorite, and the brisket sliders which were small but there were four!

The food was good and spicy and a bit unique for the area. The cocktails were overpriced and it was way too loud to have a conversation. I think they need to work on the service as they try and push you out in 90 minutes but the orders take a long time to come out. The service staff was very nice and professional. I think they just need to work on timings.… And please turn down the music.
