Great atmosphere, good place for game nights I assume. The server was fast and nice but he don’t seem happy. Menu has a good amount and it’s overwhelming. Food over all were a bit dry and salty. The wings were dry, the batter for the shrimp was salty and looked like older oil. The brisket in flauta was also dry. Artichoke dip Was the best, also the shrimp inside the batter was good

Two of us ordered a half pound of smoked brisket with sides and drinks for brunch. The broccoli, waffle fries, and mac and cheese were all great. The mocktail with homemade syrup was very good, must try. The vibe in the restaurant is nice, high ceilings and an open space. Good service as well.

The atmosphere and food were solid, but the service definitely left something to be desired. We had a reservation for five, and when a few people from our group arrived early, they were told they couldn’t be seated until everyone was present. I understand that policy in some cases, but the restaurant wasn’t very busy, and it made them feel a bit pushed aside for no real reason. Once everyone arrived, we were seated, but it took another 10 minutes before anyone even came over to greet us. Unfortunately, that slow pace became a recurring theme throughout the night. Service just wasn’t very prompt, and things consistently took longer than they should have. That said, the atmosphere, drinks, and food helped balance things out. Those were genuinely enjoyable and ended up being the highlight

Ordered to go yesterday, was very disappointed with the food. Service was ok, atmosphere was great. Got 3 things, the wagyu burger which was ok, the brisket fries also ok. The problem was the KIDS chicken tenders. If it’s part of the kids menu why is there a pound of salt on them. Didn’t even feed my daughter that crap. Would give 0 stars if I could.

They tried to poison us with their food. We ordered the combo with pork ribs, brisket, and chicken. The chicken smelled disgustingly sour and clearly old. I tried one bite and had to spit it out immediately. The pork ribs were impossible to even cut. OLD meat that they are simply reheating. We returned everything because it honestly felt unsafe to eat. The waiter told us their chef had just resigned and the manager was cooking. What? The food was already terrible even before their chef quit, but the audacity to keep serving customers that kind of food instead of closing the restaurant and fixing the PROBLEM is unbelievable. That night they even had a big Pasadena Fire Department party there. How can you serve food like that to people? Pure greed and complete disrespect for customers. The o
