Came by for dinner and was told they had already done last call at 7PM. Very odd

Enjoyed excellent brisket, Mac and cheese and baked beans. As good as any from back home in the Carolinas.

The food and service was good, lots of covered outdoor seating and space inside for events. Short wait time for a table

We came by at 7:15 the night before (their website says they’re open until 8), but they had already called last call. That’s the only reason we returned the next day to give it a try. Great location and a good spot for drinks, but the food was a letdown. The brisket and cornbread were dry, and the ribs were nothing special. The mac and cheese was the only thing that stood out decent, but not worth making a trip for.
