   Sauced recently introduced smoked prime rib. This very hard to find dish is a huge hit for us and it's what has shortened our time between visits. We only wish they would promote it more using table top tents or simply adding it to the chalk board at the front door. It's easy to overlook on the menu. A couple of things we would change: 1) get a bigger bowl for the salads. And serve it with two sides of dressing. 2) serve the prime rib on a plate. The bowl is just plain weird.

   Since discovering their smoked Prime Rib dinner (Fri-Sun), our frequency of visits has increased only to learn that this favorite may soon be going away. Maybe if they could get the word out they could sell more. Table tents, e-mail, menu inserts, server upsell. Also, we were delighted to have been given a $20 bounce back coupon good on our next visit. Unfortunately, it seems the coupon had already expired Jan 31.

   Three of the four of us ordered brisket. It was very dry and hard to eat. It’s also very loud. The only positive about our experience was our waitress.

   Good traditional American bbq at a local establishment in Irvine is a treat- one of my faves. Drink menu is special, unique, inventive. Whiskeys are their specialty. My favorite is the Southern Peach Tea cocktail. Delicious! Tri tip and brisket are terrific. Sides are really good too. We love the Brussels sprouts which incorporate their pork belly. The pork belly is taaaaasty! We came here for my birthday and everybody in my family easily found meals they really enjoyed. Fun atmosphere, especially if you like sports, which we do. They had all the football and basketball games playing on tvs on each wall but on silent so you can have conversation and enjoy your food. Staff is really nice, care about the food and drink and customers. They're knowledgeable and helpful.

   Such a great experience, brought in my family to enjoy some Christmas cocktails and catch Sunday night football. Our server was so friendly and thorough, he made the experience top notch! Thanks for allowing us to create memorable Christmas family gathering. We will be back!

    Harrison was our server. He had a positive energy and made sure we were good. I hope we get him again. The food and drinks were good too. We had ribs, cinnamon cornbread, buffalo boneless chicken, slaw, baked beans, mac and cheese, and sweet potato cheesecake. First time there and will definitely be back!
