    Third stop on our BBQ crawl. I had the"choose your meats tray". I had the brisket and burnt ends, with Mac and cheese, and a bacon and broccoli slaw. The slaw was very good, the Mac was good but was just mac and cheese. The brisket was okay, but a little on the tough side. The burnt ends were good but not outstanding. My wife had "The Holy Trinity; brisket, burnt ends, and ribs. Like me, she found the brisket on the tough side and a little dry. She also found the burnt ends were the best meat on the plate. The ribs were crispy critters. Not good. The best part of the meal was the bread pudding. It was delicious! The service was very good too!

    Hardly anyone in the restaurant but had to wait quite a bit for the host.. and when trying to leave had to wait again for her… trying to be helped here was difficult because she couldn’t be found both times. Our server however was very nice and outdoor atmosphere was very cool! Easy parking available as well/handicap accessible! Food was good.

    Very good food. We loved the meats and the sides. They have great thoughtful vegetarian options as well! The jackfruit sandwich was yummy. The outdoor space is nice with lawn games and a bar.

    Nice building. Very clean. Heard this was "award-winning" so my hopes were high. Food and service were both meh, unfortunately. All the meat kinda seemed like it was made early in the morning and then just sat until dinner time. Dry, tough, lacking flavor. The mac and cheese was decent but lacked salt. Although it was an easy fix. The sweet potato fries, however, were phenomenal. It was only like $50 for everything so I guess you get what you pay for. Hosts were nice.

    If you park in the parking garage Char Bar will validate your parking. We didn't know that so we parked on the street, so it's helpful to know that. The food was delicious. We went there on Tuesday so I got the burnt ends chimichanga special. My friend got the burnt ends and they were delicious as well. I've been here before and I know it's a safe choice for good food.
