It was a very nice evening, a small birthday get together. Dinners were get together very good but the drinks needed a lot of work. The Negroni’s were almost all Campari and the margaritas were very sour.

The food was pretty good. But if you are expecting southern style bbq, this isn't it. It feels like they are trying to make bbq food fancy. The service was not friendly and I felt rushed ordering. I probably wouldn't go back again.

HOOAH EXTREME

Unfortunately I did not take pics. The brisket can be cut with a fork. Amazing flavors. Pricey, but well worth it. Your taste buds will thank you. We shared the smorgasbord platter and also fresh pork rinds.

Exceptionally phenomenal food! First time here. Had the bacon wrapped cod, S&P salad and TC Whiskey sour. All of it was so good. I will be back. The atmosphere and locals were all so welcoming and fun.

Had the truffle huffer burger, hubby had the ribs and pulled pork with brussel sprouts and Mac and cheese. We had the truffle fries for appetizer. Everything was delicious! Waitress was attentive. We will definitely be back.

I went here with my husband for restaurant week. I got the bay scallop appetizer, ruby red trout entree, and white chocolate cheesecake with lemon curd and raspberries for dessert. I really enjoyed all 3 courses, but I think the highlight was the dessert! If they keep that on the menu, I'll be back often! My husband isn't crazy about lemon, but even he said it was amazing.The service was also great. We were seated quickly, water glasses stayed full, and food was served in a reasonable time. It was a Friday evening, so the restaurant was mostly full, but there wasn't a wait to get in. We did make reservations just to make sure we wouldn't have to wait just in case. Drinks were also tasty. I had the tropical mojito, and I recommend it to anyone who likes a sweet and refreshing drink.

Worst experience my family has had at a "fine dinning" restaurant. KATE H. Was our server and God was she awful. Her attitude towards everyone and everything was ridiculous. If you hate your job that much get a different one. Food was over done and over salted. The only good thing we had was our daughters Mac and cheese was perfect.

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.

Went by myself after a Costco run and had wonderful food and service. Best Caesar salad I’ve ever had, all the flavors really went well together. Had the brisket with brussell sprouts for dinner and it was also wonderful. Cannot wait to be back! Thank you for the friendly conversation at the bar, and great service.

What a great experience!! I had the steak and frites with a Caesar salad. The beef portion was perfect and perfectly cooked with a delicious mushroom/ Parmesan garnish, wonderful carrots and potatoes. It was wonderful!! The atmosphere is nice and smells inviting. Fabulous service.
