The deep fried brussel sprouts are amazing. The potato salad is really good. The fork and knife chicken was a hit. The service was solid. It's a nice venue. The cocktails are good. Anything that pretends to be BBQ is a different story.I like my ribs with a little tug (not falling off the bone) but these were tough and flavourless with no sign whatsoever of a smoke ring. The pork belly burnt ends were just disappointing - kind of not worth eating. The brisket beans had a jarring, kind of unpleasant flavour and the pulled pork mac and cheese would be better without the pulled pork. I don't know what this place tries to be but it is not BBQ. I honestly wonder if they even have a smoker.If you go stick to what they can deep fry. They seem to have that down. But if you want anything even remotely resembling BBQ this is not the place to go.3 stars on the strength of the front of the house. If it wasn't for the food it would be a great experience...

The service was amazing! Our server even offered to take a photo for us. The food came out very fast. The brussels sprouts were great, definitely recommend them! The jack fruit burger reminds me of a pulled pork sandwich it had great flavour profile and the portions are perfect. The menu isn’t very big, but I was surprised to see a couple vegetarian options. The atmosphere is very nice. We were sat in the back room which allowed for the noise to be broken up a little bit and gave a sense of privacy. I really enjoyed dining with them, and I will be visiting again!

My daughter, and I brought my wife here for her birthday dinner. We had the knife and fork chicken, rack of ribs, and the smoked sticky pork belly. Our sides were cornbread, Brussels with bacon aïoli, fries, and bacon and egg potato salad. The food was great as was the service.

I've been here a few times, but never had dessert. Finally this time I had their cheesecake, it is AMAZING!! Will definitely be back.

We went to Saturday brunch. The menu was very limited. We had the Korean fried chicken with waffles and the brisket sandwich. The food was uninspiring to see the least. The salt and seasoning on both dishes were non-existent. We asked for salt and got some. The potatoes home fries was soggy and cold and oily. Korean barbecue was doughy and awaffles were not crisp or tasty. This was saved by the hot honey which was the only redeeming grace of this whole meal. The coffee blend was not strong enough for brunch and was kind of weak and watery and again not hot. Nothing was hot enough, the temperature of the food was lukewarm and unappetizing. Very disappointed by this adventure ?

Came over to celebrate my father's birthday and had a good time! Loved the ambiance of the place and the service was great too. The food was good but not spectacular -- my shrimp were a little overcooked, and the sauce that came with my sister's dish was bland. But most of what was ordered was tasty, and the portions were quite generous.

Had lunch here the other day.Great selection of craft beer taps. The food was good for the most part, but 2 of us ordered the ribs and found them a bit tough and chewy.Service was top notch.Kid-friendliness: They provided 2 high chairs upon request, and seated us in a quiet area in the back which worked out very well. We did however notice that there was no changing table in either washroom, although luckily we did not need one.
