    Walked in the restaurant excited for some food..and immediately disappointed by the service. Two people prepping some tables, not one word came from either about seating or a simple greeting. Sad to see how such a high reviewed restaurant gives us such a bitter taste of service.

    Just walked in and stood there waiting to be seated. Both people did not even seem interested to seat us. No hello, or be with you in a moment, nothing. I asked can we sit anywhere and the lady was like yes as she stuffed her face. We left. No thanks!!

    Awesome food, flavors are outstanding. Try the bbq beans, green beans, nachos, brisket is sensational. This place needs to be on Diners, Dives, and Drive Ins!

    If the weather cooperated, we could have sat outside with our girls (four legged). The service attentive. Ambiance great and they accommodated us by putting on the Seattle Seahawks game! The food was absolutely delicious. I questioned my husband getting the Hawaiian plate but found myself eating almost all of his mac salad. Brisket was delicious, husband loved it because not pure fat like some places. The pulled pork was tasty but what surprised me was baked beans. I'm not fan but they were damn good. If wasn't so full, would have gotten smores brownie. Next trip, gotta try the wings.
