“Stopped here last minute for a late lunch/early dinner. Our server was very friendly and helpful with our questions. Lots of gluten free items on the menu! Our food was cooked well and had amazing flavor.”
“Incredible bbq, melts in your mouth. EVERYthing is great, not dry at all, excellent prep & sauces. Great smoked wings, wedge salads going by looked amazing. Don't fret when they sell out of ribs, it's ALL incredible! Great service.”
“Wow wow wow! My bartender recommended the wings and they are to die for! First smoked, then fried then sauced with Asian buffalo sauce. I’m not sure what the sauce was, but I couldn’t stop eating it!”
