We are 75+ year old home converted to an elevated restaurant + bar featuring smoked meats, steaks, seafood, killer salads, and a variety of sides. Our food is paired with a robust specialty cocktail menu, twelve craft beers on tap, 30+ whiskeys, and a full wine list.

Our bar & lounge area is very unique, while seating in what used to be the living room is quaint. Our deck behind the house under the oak trees & string lights is comfortable and our new gazebo outfitted with lounging furniture and a fire place is cozy.

We are proudly locally owned and have a great staff culture - we'd love for you to dine with us!

[We always leave tables available for walk-ins, so please call or just come in if reservations are shown as full.]

    I’ve had a long day as a mom who works full time and has chauffeured kids to and from after work, when my real job begins. We had dinner as a family on the patio. The new menu is amazing. My kids loved the kids menu and I was able to have a proper adult drink (old fashion) while enjoying exquisitely prepared food I would not have the time or skill to make at home. So it’s a win win. Wonderful ambience and all of the little touches do not go unnoticed. The food is amazing and the drinks are on point. The breeze was cool and they even have a magical way of warding off all mosquitoes. It was great!! I appreciate the experience and the comfort of the food!!

    Great food, great service, very loud in the dining room because of the acoustics in there, but lively and a lot of fun.

    Disappointing menu. Not much selection. Ran out of brisket at 7 pm on a Friday night. Expensive.

    The staff were extremely nice and accommodating, while still being genuine. It’s really appealing that the business appears to be inside a house and not another typical business model. The atmosphere was relaxing. I enjoyed the chicken and brisket, their personal midcity (brown bottle) bbq sauce was the best available sauce. The root beer and Carolina was ok, but nothing special.
