    Brisket was delicious, as was everything we ordered. Salad was dressed perfectly. Grilled watermelon was nice with the feta. Drinks were great too. We will be back!

    Anyone in the area that hasn’t tried the food and drinks here is missing out. The Brisket Whiskey is amazing. It’s an “fat washed” whiskey and it is very creamy and just amazing. I will upload some pics that will speak for themselves for the barbecue I had. My wife had a burger made of brisket, ribeye, filet mignon and BACON. So great. It is not inexpensive BUT I still feel the food is worth the price. Must try….

    The overall experience was a little eclectic. It wasn’t clear if this was supposed to be a barbecue place or a high-end restaurant with high-end cocktails. The experience was solid, but the overall feedback is figure out what you want to be and do it well.

    We had the brisket, salmon, corn bread and cheese bread. Everything was cooked perfectly. Portions are the perfect size. The wait staff was incredibly responsive. Drinks were priced appropriately. We will return!

    Great food and service. The BBQ was great. As a Texas transplant it’s hard to find good BBQ and this was good

    We weren't quite sure about Texas BBQ with a French preparation but our meal of Brisket and Grilled Watermelon was incredible! The Bourbon cocktail was also very refreshing and tasty too. We'll be back for sure!

    The food was phenomenal. We tried multiple starters and salads, as well as main courses and desserts. Drinks were all fantastic as well. The location is rather interesting being on the golf course and feels a bit misaligned to the dining experience itself. We understood it to be a casual and kid friendly spot and we luckily dined on a quiet evening. It would likely be loud and not as appealing if there was a full crowd with children.
