| - Came in last night to grab a weeknight dinner with my boyfriend. The decor is quite unique and I appreciate that as it provides a very comfortable vibe. However, be prepared for it to be loud inside due to small spacing and close quarters to other tables. Not going to be the place to go if you want to have intimate conversation. There was live music being played from the patio and though we were seated inside, they have speaker hookups in the inside dining room to enjoy it as well. The patio does appear to be extremely cozy but we were seated inside because they simply said they only had availability inside. (Unsure why we were not at least offered to wait).
We were seated and greeted by a sweet waitress whom provided excellent and personable service. We never had to ask for anything due to her being extremely attentive. The food, however, was not my favorite. I will say I appreciate that they have some vegetarian options at a restaurant that focuses on BBQ, but to tag onto that, I do want to suggest that they also consider offering gluten free bread/buns. I had the portobello sandwich with cucumber salad on the side (the waitress did double check with the kitchen if there was GF bread because she was unsure, she then apologized profusely that they did not). The sandwich was only okay for me, but had a combination of flavors that had potential to be great, so I am unsure of what happened. It was also a little saltier than I prefer. It did hold its form and was easy to eat which sometimes is difficult to get in a meat-free patty. The cucumber salad was also only mediocre, odd mixture of flavors. My boyfriend had the smoked chicken sandwich (he enjoyed their addition of sprinkled bacon on top) and though he completed it, he unfortunately does not rank it high on his list of "bests". Fries as his side were fairly plain, he had to season with pepper. He also feels the BBQ sauces were "standard". (*As a side note I think a few typos and spelling errors should be fixed on the menu for a professional establishment*)
Overall, this will not be a place that we will return to on our own, it is just not for us. However, I can see that maybe if you want whiskey and/or low-key late night bites without high expectations you could give this place a try, heck it might be a better experience for you. But for us, we will be enjoying other options.
