Had a great meal at Imone BBQ. The food was good, the meat was tasty, and the service was friendly. Overall, an enjoyable experience with nothing to complain about. We’re also sorry for arriving so close to the kitchen closing and for staying quite a while chatting at our table - really really appreciate the staff’s patience with us. Thanks!
