Food and services was good. The brisket tacos had too much fat though. Big inch sized piece of fat was not appetizing. Funky smell when you first walked in next to the bar. Bit of a turn off.

The brisket is amazing. So was the El Charo margarita, one of the best I’ve ever had.

The food and service were amazing but it didn't seem like they had any central air. It was blazing hot and the place smelled like sewage if you got too close to the bathroom.

Had lunch there with an open table reservation made the day before, which they had no record of. Despite that oversight, there was hardly anyone there and so sat down immediately with no issues, with good/prompt service. We started with the artichoke dip served with blue corn tortilla chips that was excellent. The brisket was great, especially as a grilled cheese sandwich. My cheesesteak sandwich however was quite dry and the roll was a bit stale. When I asked for au jus to dip it in (a la french dip), I was met with a puzzled look until we settled on "consomme". It did little to save the sandwich. The cucumber lemonade seltzer was outstanding and the cocktail menu was extensive- wish I'd had more time to experiment.

Our table was a nice patio table. It took a long time to get our food, and extra long to get my salad- which came after everyone else’s. They substituted tri-tip for brisket, and did not ask me. I would have preferred chicken. Thankfully, they took it off our bill.

Really disappointed. Booked a reservation for Father’s Day. After we were seated, the server casually mentions that the kitchen is entirely out of baby back ribs and short ribs, which was our main reason for choosing this place. It’s only 5pm and they’re already out of 1/3 of their menu — yikes. So we find something else to order, wait an eternity to receive food, and then we start to notice that tables around us, tables that ordered after us, are receiving ribs. Did our server just straight up lie to us? Really wanted to ask, however it’s 85 degrees, there’s no AC inside and we are melting, so we just book it out of there. Oh, and they also ran out of beer, lol. Not a great experience, to say the least.

We had a reservation for a party of 14 for Father's Day lunch. They initially tried to sit us outside but it was 90 degrees and there were no umbrellas they could put over the tables. That was unacceptable. After discussing the situation with the host, they were able to fit us inside by moving some tables around. The service was good and efficient. But it was noisy inside because the music was so loud. The atmosphere seemed more like for a night crowd. The food was 50/50. Half of our group really enjoyed their meals. The other half thought it was okay. There were complaints about the size of the Wagu burger. Seemed very small for the price. I don't think we'll go back again.

I can't remember our waiter's name, but he was great. Very knowledgeable and patient. On the day we went the air conditioning appeared to be not working. They had all of the doors open, the roof fans going, and these tower fans all around. It eventually cooled down, so perhaps the ac finally kicked in? At any rate, the food was great, and so was the service. The restaurant was clean, for the most part, although I did feel a little of the "ick" factor (greasy tables, menu's etc.), but that didn't bother us all that much. I have been to the Arcadia location twice before. That place is nice and clean, and laid out a little different. Overall, I would come back. It was fun, and the waiter made a huge difference.

I really hate when a menu makes no sense. If you order a $17 sandwich, you get a complimentary side dish with it. If you order the $28 short rib, it comes with no sides. A side is an additional $7. The food and service were both 4 star but this pricing is absurd. The $28 short rib with tax, the 3% 'service charge' and tip is close to $40. For that amount of money you should be able to get some waffle fries without upping your total to over $50.
