  • Neighbourhood gem
Our authentic BBQ starts in a live-wood smoker stoked with genuine hickory logs. Our pitmasters hand-rub the meats with a custom blend of spices and cook for hours to extract the natural flavors. We source the highest quality meats and trim them up like we’re in a competition and hand-rub them with the freshest seasonings available to create mouthwatering experiences! In addition to our BBQ and grilled meats, our menu features a selection of salads, sandwiches, side items, and made-from-scratch desserts.

    We had an excellent server that was attentive to us. The food was good and served in a timely matter. The restaurant was not busy and that could have played an important part of the serveice.

    I know I had a rather big crowd But I felt my waitress should have had a better attitude towards some of my family members Alot of us pay with credit card and putting everything on one bill was not good as well as confusing every ones order at the end when separating them
