Before I share my thoughts on this restaurant, it's important to note that just 2 1/2 weeks before…read moredining here, I spent time in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. That means the competition for this establishment, at least in my mind, is some of the best--places like Panther City Barbecue in Fort Worth and Terry Black's Barbecue in Dallas. This restaurant advertises itself as serving "proven, winning competition barbecue." Having recently eaten at Terry Black's--a proven, award-winning establishment--I can't help but draw some comparisons. At Terry Black's, the pits are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, ensuring that the barbecue is as fresh as possible. Here, while the staff takes noticeable steps to keep the meat moist and juicy, the taste and consistency just didn't feel like they lived up to that "award-winning" standard. Ambiance and Staff: The interior is neat and clean--exactly what you'd expect from a newly opened restaurant. The staff was exceptional. Everyone I spoke with was kind, helpful, and eager to provide a good customer experience. It's clear they are putting in the effort to make guests feel welcome. That being said, the restaurant is still in its early days, and you can tell they're ironing out some operational kinks. I imagine that in a few weeks, most customers won't notice these small bumps. The Food: This is where things get a little disappointing. I had high hopes for the brisket and beef rib, but unfortunately, neither lived up to my expectations. To be fair, I am comparing them to award-winning Texas establishments, which sets a high bar. Still, I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed by the flavors. The brisket lacked the bold, smoky taste that defines great barbecue, and the beef rib didn't have the consistency or texture I expected from a place claiming to be competition-level. The sides were average. For example, the collard greens didn't compare to the ones I had at another local restaurant the night before. The jalapeño mac and cheese was decent--I could see and taste the jalapeño, but it didn't stand out as memorable. The cornbread was probably the best item I had, but even that was good, not great. As for the sauces, I tried two of the three (not the Carolina style). They were both good, with subtle differences that I appreciated, but they didn't elevate the meal in any significant way. Overall Thoughts: This place faces stiff competition, both locally and in my own mind, given my recent Texas barbecue experiences. For ambiance, they earn a solid 4 out of 5. For customer service, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff deserve a 5 out of 5. But when it comes to food taste and quality, it just didn't meet the expectations I had--especially considering the hype and the claim of being "proven, winning competition barbecue." Compared to places like Terry Black's, where the pits are running 24/7 to ensure fresh barbecue, this establishment didn't deliver the same level of freshness or flavor. While I can tell they are taking steps to keep the meat moist and juicy, the taste and consistency just weren't award-winning in my opinion. With time and refinement, I think they could improve, but as of now, the food didn't live up to the hype.

Several times I went today to pick up food and I saw two cars ahead of me, but even with my window rolled down I didn't hear anything so I waited a moment and then I asked if anyone was there because nobody said anything. A reply came back that yeah I'm with another customer and I said oh I didn't hear you greet me well that's because I'm with another customer. He was very rude so when I got up to the window, I tried to explain why I ask he was still rude so I asked for the major and the other guy named Paul came up. If he was the major he was very meek and didn't want to get involved, and when the guy told him that I was impatient, he just kind of ignored it, which made me feel all the less important I wasn't impatient. I just didn't know if the speaker was working because no one acknowledged that I was waiting. I've never never been treated so rudely by an employee.

I can generally gauge a Mexican restaurant very quickly by the salsa that hits the table first; that's a great foreshadowing as to how the rest of the food is going to be flavored... and I'm happy to report they have very flavorful salsa and chips. That also translated over to the food and everyone at the table enjoyed everything they had ordered. I love the design and casual inviting ambience of the place and truly just enjoyed hanging out with good company, food and drinks!

We were here around 9:30 on a Saturday and waited about 40 minutes, but that flew by because we were able to go sit in their coffee/mimosa bar area and wait to be paged. The vibes in both spaces are pretty classic beach diner. It's a relaxed but busy atmosphere. Our waiter was super attentive and kind and we didn't feel rushed despite how busy they were. I had the Land and Sea Benedict, which comes on a giant biscuit and has fried green tomatoes, eggs done your way, shrimp, Cajun gravy, and bacon crumbles. I am particular about biscuits and this one was excellent (soft without being doughy, appropriately crumbly without falling apart). The tomatoes were super crispy without being overly greasy. My over-easy eggs were perfect, as were the shrimp, and the gravy was excellent. The grits I had with it really lived up to their reputation of being smooth and creamy, with no need for butter. My mom had the "Kitchen Sink" omelet, and very much enjoyed it. The ingredients were fresh and nothing was over or under done, which can be hard with such a variety of ingredients. The home fries that came with it were terrifically crispy. I also appreciate that they make their own hot sauce, as well as the mix for their Bloody Mary (which my mom also loved) I enjoyed my peach mimosa and got a kick out of all of the different flavor options. I'd love to explore their lunch menu too. I'll definitely frequent again next time I'm out this way!
