    The server Sloan was amazing . It was his birthday and he suggested a sandwich which was a special boneless rib with white and normal bbq sauce. Everyone was super happy with their food.

    This was our second time visiting. We sat at the (drink) bar. Nice spot instead of the outside table we had reserved (too cold). The hostess made the suggestion as an option to switch seat locations when we checked in which we appreciated. We had a couple of drinks, cheese plate, duck & pork chop entrees, a piece of icebox pie, and after dinner drinks. The value was very good for the qualify of food and drinks. The bartenders were pleasant and busy. The cheese plate was generously sized and pork chop was very hearty. Not a lot of duck for entree but tons of Brussel sprouts. We would go back any time. Treat yourself and give it a try.
