   Our waitress Gabriel W. was attentive but not overbearing. It was a perfect evening with music and fun! The food was great and we’ll definitely be back!

   We had a terrible experience at this restaurant, and it was entirely due to poor management. There was only one man running the hostess stand, who was actually a busboy. He had never been a Maître d’ before, and it showed. We had reservations, but we were not seated at the appropriate time, even though we had checked in well before our reservation. Our server had tables scattered all over the restaurant, and his area was not properly sectioned off to allow him to wait on his tables effectively. The manager was there, but he spent most of his time talking to his friends and changing the TV channels, which he did twice during our stay. He could have helped out in multiple areas of the restaurant but instead he continued walking around aimlessly. To make matters worse, the food came out very delayed because there were only three chefs in the kitchen. Continuing on there was only one bartender for the entire restaurant, which was full. There were no busboys to clean up as the one busboy was busy trying to be the hostess.

   Second time we’ve eaten there and was just as fantastic as the first. Had the Reuben, which was packed with corn beef. Beer was cold and service was great.

   The best BBQ by far. The brisket was so tender melted in your mouth. The turkey was juicy and so flavorful.

   Amazing!! Really great brisket, potato salad and beans. I’m a brisket snoop and this was some of my favorite I’ve had. Service was great, place was really cool on the inside. Just a really great experience. Can’t wait to go back.
