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.

Our waitress, Shanta, was so friendly and timely. My family enjoyed our time interacting with her. The restaurant was clean and calm. The food was delicious.

We were a large group, 20! We had a couple hiccups with orders and bills, but they handled us pretty well!

Asked for another table to be added for the group but answer was a flat NO. Table setup was tight and not comfortable.
