Absolutely amazing! We had the crispy green beans, 3 meat platter, the half chicken, mac and cheese, beans, and lemon pie. The half chicken is one of the best I’ve ever eaten. The sides were so delicious and the bbq was tender and flavorful. We had a wonderful waitress and really enjoyed the cool, moody atmosphere.

We had the most amazing time at hidden flask. I highly recommend any chance that you have to make a reservation take it. You won’t get a better drink, experience, or view of the city where it’s still later back and not overly crowded.
