The meat is delicious but the side dishes are horrible. The beans taste like they’re from a Dan and the coleslaw lacks flavor. The overstuffed under serviced dining room encourages visitors to use the QR code to order, however, it didn’t work? For the prices that they charge for meals they need to improve on their side dishes and plastic utensils?

We showed up on time for our reservation on a double date and there were less than 10 customers seated and we waited over 15 mins for them to wipe off a table for us. The staff literally outnumbered the customers at this point. Once we were seated we were never waited on. Finally, my husband went to the bar to ask how to get service and we were informed that we must order at the front window with cash or use the QR code to order by phone. Sigh. The food eventually came and it was delicious. It got busy suddenly and a staff member named Alicia told us that we needed to move our table to accommodate the incoming party with a reservation. Lol. I was mortified and completely embarrassed that I chose this place to bring my husband and friends. I recommend this place for takeout only.

Outside seating is in the street, between bike and car lanes. Busy window service at noon, we waited about 40 minutes for our food. Worth the wait.

We all enjoyed the food & drinks. I just wished the server came to our table to check if we needed something more. I had to ask another employee where I can order for more.
