The food was great! Meat was tender and smoked to perfection. The environment was fun. The cocktail choice is not that great and I wish the server told us up front that we couldn't split the bill but other than that, I would definitely recommend this place and would definitely go back.

The food was A+ as always—delicious and well-prepared—but the portions seemed smaller. There was only one bartender/server for all the tables, and while he was friendly, he seemed overwhelmed, leading to a few order mistakes. Overall, the food quality remains excellent, but the service could use more support. I’d return, but hopefully, they have more staff next time.
