“*BBQ Chicken Salad Perfection*: On a quest for something lighter, I ordered the BBQ Chicken Salad. It was a flavorful mix of smoked pulled chicken, avocado, and black beans, drizzled with cilantro ranch. Not only was the salad delicious, but the lively atmosphere and the friendly banter with the staff made my solo dining experience very pleasant. Kudos to Smokey and the Brisket for their exceptional service and delectable food.“

“My latest visit to Curbside Eatery was nothing short of fantastic! As someone who was particularly keen on avoiding long waits, I was delighted with the prompt seating we received outdoors. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring we were comfortably settled without any delay.To top it off, despite the chilly evening, we were offered cozy blankets and had an outdoor heater close by, adding a touch of warmth to our dining experience—literally and figuratively!As always, the food was excellent. I had the fried shrimp with fries, which was cooked to perfection; crispy on the outside, yet succulent on the inside. It’s a dish I find myself returning to time and again, and it never disappoints.I highly recommend Curbside Eatery for anyone looking for a delightful meal with the added convenience of great outdoor accommodations. Their consistent service and delectable menu options make it a top choice every time. Five stars well deserved!“

“I am thoroughly impressed and grateful for the staff at this location.We were out of town and returned on Christmas and needed a ham for our Christmas dinner.I got to the store three (3) minutes before they closed, and they STILL served me with patience. They were scheduled to close at 4:30 p.m. and I got there at 4:27 p.m.I really thought I was up the creek and would not our dinner meat. Needless to say the thought caused me to be in a slight panic. ALL of the employees were calm and patient in processing my purchase.I'll always remember this experience with gratitude.“

We indulged in the meatballs as an entree, along with the bone-in short ribs, flat iron steak, and bison burger (we're definitely meat enthusiasts). Every dish was superb!For a special treat, don't hesitate to ask the bartender to whip up the Kiwi Kiss Me Martini! Highly recommended.“
