We ordered 2 pounds of brisket at nearly $60 in just brisket. When we got home and opened it, the meat was gray, tasted off, very old and was covered in coarse black pepper. It was so excessive that it completely overpowered the flavor. I was ticked. I took pictures of exactly what we received and ultimately threw it away. We also ordered the $12 Brussels sprouts. The container was tiny (see photo) with a very small portion, and the sprouts were extremely mushy--definitely not deep fried. I emailed Up in Smoke about our experience and included pictures of the brisket, but received no response. $100+ for dinner, an almost hour-long wait, listening to the employee complain endlessly about staffing issues and being so busy. Most of it ended up being food we were scared to eat. Extremely disappointing experience. Buyer beware. OWNER STILL HAS NOT RESPONDED!!! (2WEEKS LATER)

They also have a self pour tap wall which was incredible. They have wine, beer, seltzers & ciders with a lot of local options which I really appreciated. It is such a convenient and easy spot to go to for some high quality food & drinks and since it is primarily self serve it can be really time efficient. I got the Athena salad while there and it was absolutely incredible. Bursting with flavor and so filling. I am still thinking about it weeks later. I would highly recommend stopping in!

Hello I stopped in…read morelast week on my way to ND. This is quite a unique casual dining experience. They have Poke Bowls Hawaiin type options, burgers in another section and pizza in another. And I did forget a coffee shop. When you go in you see a person and they swipe your credit card which approves a card they give you to go order. Then you go to the options. Which include you swiping your card to get beers and premixed cocktails from an automated bar! Some folks might need an IT Rep with them. Food was good. The staff was very helpful. I will be back.

We visited for lunch and the restaurant was about half full. Our server however, was often nowhere to be found & we had to have the food runner attempt to help us on more than one occasion. Even then, we still seemingly couldn't get them to bring us plates for the cornbread. Trying to pay the tab took nearly 15 minutes of just trying to flag her down. My husband ordered their burger & the fries that initially came out with it were super undercooked. My shrimp po boy had a skewer inside the sandwich (not holding the bread together but running the length of the bread.) My mother in law did say her gumbo was amazing & their cornbread was delicious but I just don't think we'll be back, it really was nothing to rave about, even if they were just having an off day.

I was recently back visiting and had to stop in for a pizza and was pleasantly surprised at how good it still was! The service is fast, the food is reasonably priced and always a solid option. I love their cream cheese jalapeño popper pizza and appreciate that we are able to customize it to take off ingredients on part of the pizza. You can also get pizza by the slice which is really nice if you're stopping in alone or with a group who can't decide on one thing! The interior is relatively small with limited seating but still a cozy pizza joint worth checking out.

She said "I don't decide where you are seated." Didn't leave us any silverware or napkins. It all got better when our server Caleb came over. He was so friendly and such a great server.

He didn't have to ask for a new one. My steak was undercooked he got me a new one ordered. It was perfect. Thank you Caleb!

Unfortunately, all of our food came out completely rare--including our toddler's meal. We politely sent the food back, but when it returned, all the steaks were cooked well-done and dried out. I understand restaurants get busy, but when I spoke to the manager, his only response was that 'they are human.' I truly understand human error, but this is literally a steakhouse--cooking steaks correctly is the main job. Taking food away from a hungry 2-year-old is a concept he doesn't understand, and it led to a massive temper tantrum that ruined our family dinner. We are not people who complain to get a cheap meal. In fact, we tipped our wonderful waitress the full amount of the steak that management comped because this wasn't her fault. Do better, Texas Roadhouse.

It seems to be a popular place and only one table was left near the door. It was a bit chilly with the people going in and out but the service and food made up for it. We started with the cheese curds which were very good dipped in their honey sauce. My brother and his girlfriend each had a burger and they shared so they could try each one. One was the picked loon and the other was the special for the day. They said both were good. They also liked the fries and tator tots. I got honey mustard chicken salad which was big. I had grilled chicken on it which was cooked perfectly. The bar tender was our waiter and he did a good job. It had kind of a hockey bar feel to it.

For our starter we tried the firecracker shrimp. The shrimp were decent, a little on the sweeter side, and the cornbread ended up being gooey in the middle which threw it off for us. The spicy rotisserie chicken sandwich actually had good flavor but because they put it on a regular bun it didn't hold up at all. The liquid from the chicken soaked right through and the whole thing kept falling apart so it was hard to enjoy. Service was okay, nothing bad but nothing that stood out either. Overall we weren't really impressed with the experience. Might try something different next time we are in the area.
