The service was super attentive and helpful when we were making our choices on what we should get. It had a kind of divvy vibe to it which was awesome and makes it that much better! The burger that I had was cooked perfectly and I added the OG BBQ sauce with it and a side of Mac-n-cheese. I will say though, the mac-n-cheese was pretty disappointing, was a bit too starchy and there didn't seem to be really much cheese with it. So if you go to get the awesome burger, just get fries. We also got some char-grilled oysters that might have had a bit too much spices and seasoning on it that it got quite overwhelming. But summing it up, burgers were amazing, sides we underwhelming, make sure you get the OG BBQ sauce on your burger though!

You have to order your food from the front register so no waiter (which is fine) we ordered some bbq tacos, BBQ chicken eggrolls, BBQ tot nachos, key lime pie and bread pudding along with cherry cola and sweet tea. In our honest opinion the only items that were good were the BBQ chicken eggrolls and the cherry cola. Everything was subpar. The key pie was grainy and lacked key lime flavor. The bread pudding was overly sweet and was very hard to eat. My BBQ tots were odd. The cheese sauce that was used tasted pastey and lacked flavor. The BBQ meat that was added to the nachos didnt add any flavor or depthness to the nachos. Lastly the tacos were flavorless, had to cover in the Chipotle BBQ sauce to eat them. Unfortunately the food made us both sick an hour after eating it. We both had upset stomachs. Im not sure what was the items that caused out stomachs to do that but I will not be going back to this place.

We were close by and this is what they chose. Now, I'm a Midwesterner that lives in a vinegar state so I wasn't exactly excited to try it but did want to give it a shot. I died as It was the most uncooked BBQ I've ever eaten. The burnt ends were infact not burnt nor KC style. You can see the fat caps. There was absolutely no flavor, the brisket was dry, same as the sliced turkey. My friend doesn't eat pork (I do) so we decided on 2 carbs as the greens and baked beans have pork. The Mac was literally trash. They use a roux. You can taste the uncooked flour in the cheese sauce and the potato salad are Yukons' cut in half tossed in unseasoned mayo and dill. I was very disappointed. I did try the Original, Sweet, and Smokey sauces as i'm a Midwesterner and hate Carolina vinegar based sauce. They were actually really good. I mixed the sweet with the spicy and it gave great flavor. The sad part is that the Cornbread was the best thing we ate in the whole plate. If you're a Q person I'd not recommend this establishment. Its definitely not worth the time or effort. However, if you're a local then support the business. I probably won't be back simply because the customer service experience was sub par and I'm a MAC girl.

I got the smoked wings, brisket with plantains and Mac n cheese. The wings were good. A bit dry but that happens on a smoker but the flavor was on point. The brisket was tasty but there was a tiny amount of it for $20. It also wasn't trimmed correctly. I could tell the meat Cinder BBQ in DC gives you twice the amount for the same price. The Mac n Cheese was completely flavorless. It takes the award for most flavorless Mac n Cheese I've ever tasted. Plantains were good. My girlfriend got the brisket burrito which was good but had a lot of fatty bits of brisket. We wouldn't go back for another try without some glowing recommendations that the food has gotten better.

We arrived about 45 minutes before closing. The server had to get permission from the kitchen to serve us, which was understandable, as we had a group of 6.

Christian also assisted my daughter with ordering her first drink from the bar! The food we ordered was amazing!

The restaurant has a nice vibe and décor, but has too may steps for me, not good if you plan on getting lit. Our server was amazing, she was very knowledgeable and professional. Food wise: The cornbread was good, it came out pipping hot, with butter melting. The pork belly was my favorite.... Omg the Pork Belly was the star of the show---it was so sticky and sweet, the eggs and potatoes were pretty good, nothing extortionary. I was a bit skeptical about the eggs being from a carton, since I didn't see any white in the eggs. The chicken was so greasy and slightly soggy on the bottom. I don't think I'd order that again, the waffles were pretty good. I feel like the chicken and waffles are just great for show, in my opinion that dish didn't really deliver what I thought it would. I would return again, the chicken did not discourage me. It could've just been a bad day. I would recommend giving this place a try.
