We enjoy this franchise and seem to have great service where ever we go whether in Portland, Maine or Long Island NY it's the consistency that makes this a great establishment. Of course we will be back. Yum!

Wait was super long for food but not for the table. Waitress was great and atmosphere was good until a wooden sign fell off the wall onto me. I took it like a champ but was a little dismayed they didn't offer to comp the meal or even a few drinks. The sign was heavy. If not for that and the dirty plates it would have been 5 stars

We had the house wine and tried the pretzel which was enormous and served with a queso and delicious tender, lean pulled pork with house made pickles. We also tried the smash burger, coleslaw (yum), baked beans (extra yum) and the potato salad was cold but underwhelming. The music is great and at a decent decibel where you're not hearing the ax throwing too much. Will be back again soon

The food is prepared well and quickly making ideal for a lunch time stop during a work time break.

Called ahead of time for a tray of red snapper hot dogs, and the guy was nice enough to actually take us right inside in their cooler area to show us the freshly made ones that were hanging.

EDIT: The owner responded to my google review (see picture) and it speaks volumes. Rather than…read moreapologizing for their cook openly yelling at a group of customers who spent $500, management has chosen to report my review and make excuses about needing "reservations" for a food truck. Being busy does not excuse verbal hostility. Multiple people in our group of 10 left reviews because we all experienced the same unacceptable behavior. Future traveling groups beware: if you order a lot of food here, expect great food but a side of absolute hostility from the kitchen--and an owner who will defend it. ---- Original Review - I was part of the group of 10 that stopped by this spot recently before heading to the airport (which is conveniently just 5 minutes away). It is truly a shame to leave a 1-star review because the food itself was excellent, and the lady taking our orders up front was incredibly sweet and accommodating. When we placed our order, she kindly informed us that the food would be coming out in batches, which we completely understood and were happy to accommodate. However, the entire experience was soured by the cook in the back. As we went up to pick up our food batches, he began making audible, angry comments from the kitchen--clearly directed at us as customers and explicitly meant for us to hear. When we later politely checked in on the remainder of the order, he openly yelled and cursed at my friends, visibly angry that a large group had ordered food. I have personally worked in high-paced, high-stress environments--including busy retail and fast paced healthcare--so I understand firsthand how overwhelming a sudden "surge" can be. But professional composure is essential. We weren't upset about a 25-minute wait for a large, $500 order--we were happy to wait for good, fresh food. The issue was the verbal and open hostility from the kitchen. If you are traveling in a group to or from the airport, be aware that simply being hungry and ordering food might be treated as a major inconvenience here. It was a very disappointing end to an otherwise joyous group trip. I truly hope this feedback can be taken constructively so that future traveling groups can enjoy your great food in a positive atmosphere.
