Barbecue
Our authentic BBQ starts in a live-wood smoker stoked with genuine hickory logs. Our pitmasters hand-rub the meats with a custom blend of spices and cook for hours to extract the natural flavors. We source the highest quality meats and trim them up like we’re in a competition and hand-rub them with the freshest seasonings available to create mouthwatering experiences! In addition to our BBQ and grilled meats, our menu features a selection of salads, sandwiches, side items, and made-from-scratch desserts.

    The collard greens didn't seem fresh and more like out the can collard greens. The salmon was cooked kinda rubbery and our table wasn't checked up on. We were without ranch and mustard for long enough to where our food began getting cold. Maybe it was just that type of day.

    I really enjoyed myself. We were seated on time and our food came out in a timely manner and it was hot, fresh and delicious. The server did a great job as well, especially considering how rude my brother acted.

    Our experience was nice, we had a party of 9. We was late for our reservation but still was able to get seated. Food came out fairly fast with the exception of our fried chicken for platter. By the time it came we was full. Chicken was good though and fresh and hot.

    The meal was good as usual although service was quite slow. It wasn’t completely the servers fault though the bar was very slow with getting our bar drinks. They’re were not overly busy, but maybe they still have staffing issues and that was part of the wait time on things.

    Service was awful. Food was okay. We were there for two hours unreasonably. Wait for food was beyond long. Server forgot our drinks and disappeared for 20 minutes before we could remind him. Food was cold when it got to our table. Would not recommend this place to friends or family. Salmon salad was great though.

    Got there on time for the reservation and the hostess disregarded that and told me there was a 20 minute wait and proceeded to take all the information that I already provided for the online reservation. We ended up going to BJ's and got seated immediately and had some great food!
