★★★★☆ 4.0 Dania Strong · Oct 2025

The food was yummy, just not "melt-in-your mouth" delicious, which you would expect for the price of the brisket. I really liked the honey mustard. The service was very good, as was the atmosphere. It is in the Packing House, which is interesting.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Samuel Meade · Feb 2026

Really good service. I thought the food was mid honestly. Sauces pretty tasty. I had link meal with greens & dirty rice. Deviled eggs were little sweet but not bad. I saw folks getting fried 🍗 🐔 looked fire. Check it out for yourself!!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Rachael Etheridge · Sep 2025

We were seated right away. The place was kind of busy. The waitress was friendly and helpful. The food descriptions in the menu were really good . We got the skillet cinnamon bun . The presentation of it was inspiring but the flavor was not. It was very thick and the icing was lacking in flavor. You could taste the cream cheese but not much of anything else. The filling was nice with cinnamon and pecans. It was more like a Savory cinnamon bun. I wonder how it would taste if there was an added Smoky flavor in it. The S'mores shake was disappointing. The whole thing kind of tasted like a bland whipped marshmallow. I got the breakfast burrito that has bacon, sausage, eggs, cheese and hash browns covered in a half green and half red sauce with sour cream and sliced avocado on top and fried pot

I had the pleasure of being served by an incredible redheaded bartender Belén during my recent visit, and I honestly can’t stop thinking about how great the experience was. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a warm smile and an energy that instantly made the place feel more inviting. You could tell she genuinely cared about creating a comfortable, fun atmosphere for everyone at the bar. She was quick with recommendations and even quicker with the drinks—crafted perfectly every time. What really stood out was her attention to detail and the way she remembered what people were drinking, even checking in to make sure everything was just right. She had this effortless way of striking up conversation that made you feel like a regular, even if it was your first time there. If you
