   Good traditional American bbq at a local establishment in Irvine is a treat- one of my faves. Drink menu is special, unique, inventive. Whiskeys are their specialty. My favorite is the Southern Peach Tea cocktail. Delicious! Tri tip and brisket are terrific. Sides are really good too. We love the Brussels sprouts which incorporate their pork belly. The pork belly is taaaaasty! We came here for my birthday and everybody in my family easily found meals they really enjoyed. Fun atmosphere, especially if you like sports, which we do. They had all the football and basketball games playing on tvs on each wall but on silent so you can have conversation and enjoy your food. Staff is really nice, care about the food and drink and customers. They're knowledgeable and helpful.

   Such a great experience, brought in my family to enjoy some Christmas cocktails and catch Sunday night football. Our server was so friendly and thorough, he made the experience top notch! Thanks for allowing us to create memorable Christmas family gathering. We will be back!

   Harrison was our server. He had a positive energy and made sure we were good. I hope we get him again. The food and drinks were good too. We had ribs, cinnamon cornbread, buffalo boneless chicken, slaw, baked beans, mac and cheese, and sweet potato cheesecake. First time there and will definitely be back!

   The brisket was good however the rest of our order was “meh” at best. We ordered the 2 meat dinners and cornbread. The pulled pork, ribs and cornbread were all dry. The sides we ordered: chili, beans, slaw & potato salad, and they were not good either. The flavors were odd and lacking. I would not recommend this place.

    Great bbq meats! The small appetizers aren’t the best fried pickles and garlic cauliflower. Small Portion and small pieces. Recommend the dinosaur bone rib! Short rib dinner delicious. The brisket and 1/2 chicken was a big portion. Nashville Chicken sandwich was also amazing! You can adjust the heat! Cornbread is a must and the apple cinnamon butter is to die for. Loud family style place. Cement floors and lots of tables. It’s very busy, probably because it’s good and prices aren’t bad. Good tap beers and whiskeys. Ben was a great server! First time, good experience. Booked on open table was a good idea for Saturday at 6pm.
