Keri was the kindest server. She was so full of love and very attentive. We really appreciated her suggestions, energy, thoughtfulness, efficiency, friendliness, and overall loving demeanor. She really made our experience so memorable and wonderful and every single way. This is honestly some of the best food we have ever had. Oh my goodness make sure to order the cornbread and get the street corn! It is truly the best dinner and we regret not ordering dessert. We would come back tomorrow, but you guys are closed on Christmas, which I’m happy so people can be with their families. All around wonderful restaurant we literally wanna fly in our families from around the country to come try the food because it’s that good! we will definitely be back the next time. We are in town. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of us, Keri.

Friendly staff, seated in a timely manner. Ordered 16oz Ribeye Steak with sides of fries and side harvest salad, BBQ Burger with Mac n cheese and more fries and BBQ Sampler Trio with beans and crispy smashed potatoes. Brisket and Ribs were delicious. The kids said their strawberry lemonade was really good. Had an Atterdag and husband had an old fashioned and both were great. We enjoyed everything we got and had a nice dinner. Thank you!

Make sure you make reservations as it is very busy and so many people were just walking up getting denied a table as it was so packed. The food was good I wouldn’t say great but I’d give it another try and want to sit outside when the nice days call for it.

They were out of many food options, even after we ordered were told they were out of those things then. It took about 40 minutes for our kids food to come which extremely long, only 5 tables were sat when we were there so it wasn’t like the kitchen was getting slammed.

Wanted to try Whiskey and Rye so took advantage of the opportunity when we were in Solvang. The food was excellent and our server went above and beyond beyond to make sure my wife’s dietary restrictions were accommodated. The Salmon and Smoked Brisket were delicious. Did not need a knife for either. My wife enjoyed the farm salad and had the mac-n-cheese, both were very good. Topped the meal with the skillet cookie which was a perfect end to our Solvang adventure.
