"Food was delicious, bread looked super toasty but it was very yummy. Atmosphere and service, not so great. We sat in a booth and there was not much room at all, and whenever the person in the booth behind me leaned against the back, It would jerk me forward. Service was not friendly. The waiter would only check on my husband to see if he needed anything. Was very unfriendly."

"Pretty decent bbq spot. Side Caesar salad was huge. Risotto was long grain rice with great flavor combinations. Well composed and plated but not risotto. Bbq’d food looked and tasted great. Sauce choices of tangy or sweet."

"Delicious barbecue food! Pulled pork and ribs were so mouthwatering and just cooked perfectly. Very tasty sides as well. Quite a good selection of beers. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful. The only complaint is that it was very cold on the inside. Would come back for the food for sure!"

"We wanted to love it. The reviews were great and we were hungry so this was the spot we selected. We started with the soup, which was lovely. For dinner, I got the roasted carrots and farro because farro is one of my favorite meals. It was so oily and the flavor was not at all what I expected. I tried to just eat the carrots but gave up. The rosemary potatoes were my other order and they were tasty. My boyfriend ordered the pulled pork sandwich and ate half of it before deciding it wasn’t worth finishing. He felt like there was too much going on with the sandwich and the flavors weren’t complimentary. We decided to give dessert a try, but even that went unfinished. The chocolate cake tasted much like a chocolate muffin perhaps soaked in some kind of liqueur in a few places? Or maybe just a sauce drizzle? Our server was good and the food came out fast. We do generally try to eat on the healthier side, so maybe the really rich and heavier things on the menu would have been good?"
