An average of two stars. Three stars is for the decor and music and one for food.
This spot occupies the old rock lobster on queen. When you step in you hear amazing old school hip hop (biggie, foxy brown) and the place is dimly lit with that whole rustic wood thing going on. We went around 7 and the place was fairly empty but picked up around 8.
The menu - $5 snack,$10 mains so very affordable. We ordered the Mac n cheese balls, jerk nachos, pizza fries, and the trio of sliders. For drinks we got some and beer (not a huge selection of each).
The server was great! Attentive without being over bearing. When they ran out of the wine I was having, he brought over another and checked back to make sure I liked it.
The food was not good. So promising but everything could have been made by a home cook. The Mac n cheese balls were good - two large balls on a bed of marinara. The jerk nachos are homemade tortilla chips with a bunch of toppings thrown on top. Very, very spicy. Just meh.
The pizza fries were ridiculously salty and that was the only flavor. The sliders are each dressed differently and seasonally and served on onion buns. One was fine, the second was lightly burned, and the third was charred.
The bill was less than $60 for two people so very affordable. Too bad it was just not good.
I would only come back here for music - but most likely I'd make a playlist at home and cook my own burned burgers. Plus no one else would look at me weird as I jammed to some foxy brown in my seat.
