I forgot to take photos, I will try to remember next time. I know my order was huge and I should have given them more time before going to the place. I will do so next time. The bar and atmosphere is warm and friendly. I was greeted and treated kindly while I waited for my food to be done. All the meat was great. I enjoyed the ribs, chicken, wings, and my husband said the brisket was good. I do have to say the greens were not to our liking, but after reading the other reviews I get why now. They weren't bad, just missing that neck bone flavor or some form of meat influence. The potato salad wasn't bad but felt missing as well. Both were still great with the meat and we enjoyed our meal. I think it was more on us than them. The cauliflower pizza was great and I enjoyed it greatly. The empanadas were good too! I do have to say, I think the ribs, whole chicken, and empanadas could have been cooked slightly longer. Again, personal preference I suppose. Still the flavors were there and I can't wait to go back. Of course this time giving more time, so not to rush greatness. :-) It really is a great experience. I will go again because the customer service is great as well. They forgot the corn muffins, but called me to let me know (I hadn't made it home yet to find out). I was truly impressed with the follow up. I had my husband pick them up because he was still in the area. They were great. I do love vegan and vegetarian options. I can't wait to see more and don't want them to change.

Food was delicious, tasty, service was sort of slow because the restaurant was also very busy filling takeout orders. The waiters were professional and very friendly. They seemed short staffed. And, VERY important, restaurant was able to accommodate vegan, vegetarian palates.

Wanted to grab a quick bite & ordered lemon pepper wings + mac & cheese. The wings were excellent and fresh! The mac & cheese topping was slightly overbaked but overall tasted well. Storm was an awesome server/bartender. It was a great way to end a long workday!

The food was amazing. Very well done and everything was delicious. The only thing that really threw me off was the overwhelming smell of Marijuana, it was a thick scent as soon as you walk in. So if your young and cool with that vibe then this is the place for you. But if your with your mom or someone like that you might want to find somewhere a little more decent.

I met one of my friends at this bar and grill. It was black-owned, so I wanted to try it. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted, and we sat at the bar. Shawnn was our bartender, and she was very nice. I started with the long island iced tea, and I wasn't a fan of the first one. I sent it back and got another one which I liked. My friend got a cocktail, which she said was very sweet. For our meals, I got the quarter chicken with mac and cheese and string beans. My friend got the pulled pork with beans and macaroni and cheese. I liked the chicken with the sauces they gave but was not a fan of the mac and cheese and the string beans. My friend said the same for her meal. The check was affordable. All in all, I had just an ok experience.

Never again. Ribs tuff, canned collard greens out of the can, not seasoned . Mac and cheese dry. Please take that food back to Trenton.

The food here is AMAZING. 10s across the board. ALWAYS GET THE WINGS‼️ Grilled or fried they are delicious.The service isn't always great especially when they are busy but the food more than makes up for it. 4 stars because of the parking situation. THERE IS LITERALLY NO STREET PARKING HERE. So in order to avoid unnecessary towing headaches, if you are ordering take out, always take someone with you and have one person stay in the car while the other goes in. The tow company camps out and waits especially if you're black and this being a black-owned business...you get what I'm saying. Be careful.Parking: Terrible options and be careful because the tow company will charge you $300+ for an hour.
