Reviews
The layout is beautiful and sits right in front of the Indian Creek Plaza, the staff is very kind and makes the entire atmosphere very comfortable and entertaining while mixing fantastic drinks with super chill bartenders (I recommend the Peppermint White Russian.)
Overall 10/10, def will go back.
The quality of the food was excellent. I’m not a huge fan of vinegar, so the sauces were not my favorite, but the pulled pork was super tender and the brisket/heart burger was great. The wings were several steps above most wing places. I’m a sucker for Creme brulee and theirs did not disappoint. They change the recipe seasonally, and this time of year it was egg nog.
The real stand out was the staff. Our waiter, Ty, was friendly, attentive and helpful when deciding what to order.
I am definitely planning to go back.
I ordered the half pound brisket with candied yams. The Brisket was decent. I don’t normally like sweetened yams/sweet potatoes, but the sugar was caramelized perfectly. It was good.
My friends ordered the chicken wing starter. The chicken was cooked properly and was very good.
The bad:
The service was the worst. By watching the other waitresses and interacting with them, it seems to have been just ours. It was as if we were bothering her.
She walked away in the middle of a question. She ignored my deaf friends request to look at him while she spoke (he can read lips). Tried to take plates away that clearly still had food on them we were actively eating. Didn’t ask about the burger my friend clearly didn’t like.
The chef or owner walked out at one point and asked how we liked our food. I truthfully gave a thumbs up, as I always seemed to get asked that question right after I take a bite. My friend said, “I like the salad.” That should be a show stopper at a restaurant about meat. When a customer has one bite out of your burger and compliments the salad….. he just walked away.
Now the food/”atmosphere”:
It was cold in there. I am normally pretty hot blooded but didn’t even think to take my coat off because of the chill.
The rolls were cold inside and lukewarm on the outside, and the butter was straight out of the fridge cold. I did like the Christmas in your mouth flavor of the butter.
My friend took one bite of his burger and asked me to try it. It seemed the fat to meat ratio was way off. The grease coated the roof of my mouth, and it had an off flavor. He said it tasted like cleaner, I thought it was like the bad kind of grease, but probably due to an improperly cleaned grill.
This is kind of a service/atmosphere thing. It’s a small place so it gets crowded fast. But instead of asking the people who ere standing, waiting for something by the bar, the staff, including our waitress, kept bumping and brushing up against my friend to get by.
When I saw the sign on the door that they were open on Sunday “for the holidays” I had a sinking feeling, but hoped they would deliver. They did not.
Based on this experience, I would NOT recommend it to anyone. No plans on going back.
