    We had a good time barbequing our own meat — it was a fun experience, especially for teens. However, there are several areas that need improvement. The bathroom was in very poor condition, with a sink that was absolutely filthy. The restaurant itself felt quite run down, with old, torn seats that were uncomfortable and uninviting. Ventilation was also lacking — we left smelling like a campfire, which hasn’t happened at other BBQ spots. One of the items we ordered (hot sauce) never arrived, though it was on the bill. It was also disappointing that my daughter’s birthday, which we mentioned in the reservation, wasn’t really acknowledged . Overall, it was an okay experience, but it feels like the management isn’t addressing ongoing issues that have been raised before.

    Went to celebrate my friends birthday, everything was great, food was great, it was a bit loud from the other table. However towards the end the waitress had asked for more money for tips. It all made us feel uncomfortable.

    We love the food, but just the service when it comes ordering for AYCE. We wait for long for the meats to come. Kinda disappointed we finish our first batch of order but after we order for the next batch, It takes to long. We lost appetite by waiting for the server, i know its busy hour but we are also a customer dinning, this is our first time trying this AYCE. All in all the food was good. Definitely worth it 👍🏻👍🏻 Maybe we'll try to come back but not in busy hour
