A couple of nice craft cocktails and the delicious cornbread to start. We then shared the mixed BBQ plate. All three meats were nicely cooked, tender, good smoke. The ribs bit off the bone in competition style. The brisket melted in your mouth. The pulled pork nicely done. They need to expand the sauce options. The one they provide is a bit sweet for me. I asked for others and got the Carolina one used on the pork also. I liked it. But they need one with a kick, spicy hot. Then you can mix to your palate. Our sides were also good. Mac cheese and potatoes. We will definitely be back when in Solvang!

Excellent experience starting with Becca's friendly attention to details to the delicious cocktails, burger and salmon. Must try the berry tartlet for dessert. They also welcomed our dog on the heated patio. I'd highly recommend!
