Update 5/2022On my most recent visit, I am sad to day the place has changed. The quality of the food has degraded. It is possible that there are new cooks, and if so, then there should be consistency, but there is not. I traditionally order the usually, but each time the portions get smaller, prices get higher, and the flavor and presentation is absent. I do understand there are hard times upon many businesses but the goal is to maintain consistency to assure each experience is better than the last.Overall, they have lost their direction and focus more on the alcohol. Very sad!

best neighborhood lay back bar with the best staff,Taylor,Kat, Morgan,Taigo the kitchen crew Always making delicious food thanks Vinnie. This staff is wonderful funny caring such charisma . ??

The waitress was very friendly the food was very tasty..

Paid 14.00 for a basic pulled pork sandwich with no flavor (on basic potato burger bread), and fries that taste like old grease. If you are looking to go broke and eat boiled pork this is the spot ??

I ate here for the first time recently and really enjoyed it. My friend and I both had pulled pork sandwiches and they were very tasty. Very moist and lean with added BBQ sauce. The restaurant has a real cool vibe. The clientele was all ages and races. There was a duo playing live music that night. A guitar player who did the singing and a drummer. The were awesome. The played a good selection and the audience loved them.All in all we had a great time and will definitely go back.

They rude and very disrespectful when it comes to service good food don't make up for stupidity. I called today just to ask a question and got put on hold twice without getting a word out. Then they stop answering the phone. I truly regret spending my money with them 2to3 times a week. Wont happen ever again. YOU JUST LOST ONE. My advice go where your dollars are appreciated.

Great service and delicious food!

Great experience, really good food and awesome service! We had the fresh and delicious guac and chips, the crispy chicken sandwich was huge and so tasty, and the Sancocho, which was really flavorful and hearty! We will be back for sure.

I ordered at 9:00 pm weeknight for 12 midnight closing. They took my money and three dollar tip, promised it would be here and the an hour later canceled my order leaving me without money or food. This is associated with GrubHub and they did not offer to help, just “we so sorry.” This is unacceptable to the ultimate degree. Beware of this restaurant and of Grunhub - they are often a scam.

absolutely positively yes we kept it local for my wife's birthday she had the skirt steak and I had a ribeye the mashed potatoes were amazing the stakes were fantastic and the waitress that was taken care of us Kat was attentive courteous polite, so yes I do recommend this restaurant ?
