    Good barbeque, great service. Only a couple of tables for a Thursday lunch. Portions are big. Brisket was great; mac and cheese is very cheesy.

    Overall a good experience. The band was good, they had the place packed. I had the Mac and cheese with pulled pork. It was delicious and a huge portion. The bar was fast and efficient. The waitress had a ton of patrons and did a great job despite the crowd.

    Great waiter (Michele) and pretty good meal last night! Pulled pork was perfectly seasoned and had great texture, though I found it just a tad dry. Enjoyed the celery seed in the coleslaw- too many places skip that and I find it’s a key component. Staff were all welcoming and helpful on a busy night.

    The food was just ok. There just wasn't enough flavor to the food. The ambiance and the service was great. We ordered appetizers and one main course to share. We are glad we didn't order two separate main courses. The drink my friend ordered looked nice, but wasn't strong (this was my friend's opinion of the drinks she had). We both agreed we weren't planning to return.

    my first time there and it didn't disappoint. From the hostess and the waitress to the food and drink we really had a great experience. We will be back to try other menu choices.

    Fantastic , fast and friendly service. Perfect place to land before a play at the Bushnell. Shout out to "T," our excellent waiter. She was so courteous and made us feel like we were in her home. The brisket..corn bread, rice and beans..just perfect

    Went for the NYE event. There was not enough staff. One waitress, I felt so sorry for her she was extremely busy and we would have spent more if we didn't have to go looking for her to place orders. I hated having to keep calling her over to order drinks or to get our food. I"ll continue to go for the music on days that they don't have events.

    Wonderful New Year’s experience. Loved the band, folks danced, tables were festival decorated with hats and party favors. Food was very good, ambience was great. Server was excellent despite having to cover 10-12 tables solo. She did her best, was pleasant and did not miss a beat. She deserves a special shout out! Overall great new years experience., with short walk to Bushnell park to see fireworks!
