    chicken sandwich
    Serena H.

    The chicken sandwich was awesome. Good size portion and they're generous with sauce on the side. Great flavor and juicy chicken! The location also had a nice outdoor area to enjoy eating at. I heard that the burgers aren't as good though - would recommend the chicken sandwich instead!

    Coconut pineapple pina colada

    While in Brentwood we decided to check this place out. Small indoor seating and large outdoor seating area. Lots of room for the kiddos. Good crowd on a Sunday afternoon. Service was good. The smash burger was ok. Maybe it would be better with grilled buns, lettuce and tomato. We enjoyed the filthy fries, though I'd ask for less toppings. The fries on the bottom were drowned in sauce and cheese. We also had the coconut pineapple coladas. Very good. All in all, our lunch was ok. Would I drive out here just to eat here, no.

    Chicken salad with old dry chicken
    Brenda G.

    Got the chicken salad ask for grilled chicken and got old dry chicken thighs that have probably been sitting out! Looks like a great place but if you cant even give a decent salad you suck! This was my first time here

    The burgers are so delicious fries are so yummy very crispy. And they have a full bar .. We went for the first time to celebrate my daughters birthday.. all my family members enjoy it.

    Great place to hang out with friends and the kids! Everything on the menu tastes great and their bar mixes up some really good refreshing drinks. Their smash burger and chicken sando are my 2 favorite menu items but you really can't go wrong with any choice. Plus they have a dedicated frier for their fries so it's a gluten free option as well!

    Cheese Burger

    the single is too small i'm ngl fries were delish though. kinda expensive for what you get

    Came to Brentwood to try this place specifically it was a suggestion on my insta feed. The videos made it look way better then it actually is. Overall it was just okay. The smash burgers are so greasy the bottom bun was soggy and I would say over all everything was over seasoned so salty. The flavors were all very overpowering making it tough to experience and enjoy each element of the food. Also the indoor seating is limited and when a large party is sitting like a vulture to take your table it makes the visit slightly uncomfortable. Overall the food was decent it's not bad but could definitely improve.

    Dirty glasses sticky tables
    Natasha R.

    Went on Sunday, wasn't busy, but lots of tables were left with dirty glasses, food scattered about, floor dirty with scraps and trash. Ordered one beer and fries and a mocktail and came away with paying $35! Fries were ok and "free" sauce provided BUT heck that's expensive especially when the floors and tables are sticky and dirty. Not sure we're rushing back unfortunately. Check out the photo of the stale mint "bush" that was thrown in the mocktail ...,

    Lemonade

    Nothing special. I got the double and the filthy fries. The sauce they use both on the burgers and fries has some kick. The burger was decent, however I wanted the patty edges more crispy. The onions were really good. As for my lemonade, it was super watered down. The service wasn't too bad. They took our order and gave us a buzzer to let us know when our order was ready. The ambiance inside was tiny with 3 table. The outside is where it's at. Lots of picnic benches they even have Jenga and corn hole. The chicken sandwich I saw someone get looks good. I would come back for that. I might be back.

    What a fun resturant! This is the perfect resturant for families with small kids. Outside seating with corn hole and some fun toys! Water available for everyone to help themselves. The menu is small but delicious! The smash burgers have a sauce similar to in and out. Fries were crispy. We will definitely be back!

    The Steak Frites Fries.. taste amazing but such a small portion for $20? i'd say at least throw some more fries down.

I got there walked up to the bar was not greeted by the bartender. I wanted to buy a cocktail and yet no one helped me so I sat outside for a little bit went back in still no help so then I went to a different place and only came back because I wanted to be around the music. When I came back, there was a lot more people music was playing, and I sat at the bar waited for the bartender for over an hour, and there were two behind the bar. They totally just ignored me. I was quiet I wasn't acknowledged at all I tried to raise my hand to get their attention and they just totally acted like they didn't want to be there and we're just helping the people they knew it was a horrible experience as I talked to a few of the locals that go there they said that yeah the bartenders are not very friendly unless they know you well then why the heck would anybody want to go there? I was very disappointed and that will be the last time that I go there I will take my business and my friends to the local spot around the corner. The drink that I finally got because a man had to wave down the bartender and said she's been waiting wasn't even made correctly. It was a simple, three ingredient drink, and yet a bartender he screwed up. I did not complain. I let it go. I paid my bill, which was higher than it should've been and I still tipped well, even though I probably shouldn't have tipped because he did not deserve it because of the service and serving me not what I ordered, but that's not me so I tipped had my cocktail talk to a few people and left. That will definitely be my last time ever going there.

The bathrooms were nice and taken care of, there's a button on the wall, if you press it lights and music comes on like a party. Very cool. Our wood board was pretty damaged and seemed beaten.

I also ordered the Margarita Fuego cocktail and that was so refreshing. I personally loved the stracciatella cheese. It had sugar snap peas, strawberries, basil, pickled ginger, balsamic, evoo with toasted bread. You think the ingredients would be weird together but it really blended well and tasted so good.

My Gin & Tonic was a hazard; it was so completely overloaded with peppercorns that I felt like I was chewing my drink and had to spit them out after every sip. For food, the corn elote lacked balance, and the scallops--which arrived swimming in a soup instead of a puree--tasted noticeably off. The chicken parm was entirely forgettable. With these kinds of texture and flavor issues, there's just no attention to detail in the kitchen. Even with great service, we won't be returning.

    I was holding off on writing a review until I had the chance to go a few times since the new head…read morechef came in and revamped the menu. Now that I have had two dinners, on March 5th and 27th, and a recent brunch, June 6, here is what I can conclude: The Food: Everything I have tried on the menu so far has been pretty flipping delicious beautifully, but not pretentiously, presented looking and tasting like a truly from scratch kitchen (which did not seem to be the case with the previous chef/menu). Standout mains included a beef stroganoff special, the fish and chips and possibly the best shrimp and grits (might be only a weekend brunch item?) I have ever had (to the point that I am likely to go back and have it again in the next week or two) Standout apps were the raw oysters (especially the in house pickled watermelon mignonette), the pulled pork sliders, brussel sprouts and recently a new buffalo style baby back ribs with shaved celery and blue cheese crumbles (it was so good my sister would not let us finish it so that she could take the last bite home to share with my brother in law and give him pointers) Standout desserts included the bread pudding and the cream brulee. The Drinks: Cocktails had a rougher start but were excellent in June. Back in March the cocktail menu seemed a bit confused. Several drinks I tried were incredibly unbalanced (and whether that was due to bad recipes or errors while executing said recipes who knows). I feel like they might not always have had an experienced bartender behind the bar, back in March, because one time it was something as simple as a gin & tonic that was accidentally made with plain soda because the syrup had run out and no one seemed to know how to help correct the issue. Whoever revamped the cocktail menu, please accept a huge THANK YOU! I will now be drinking my way through the menu over my next several visits. The standouts recently were the exceptional clarified milk punch cocktail called Sweet Disposition and the Strawberry Letter. The Service: Excellent. Everyone I have interacted with, especially the serving staff, have been attentive and took brief moments to make kind personal connections. One even gushed about how happy they have been seeing the changes implemented by this new incoming chef. The Venue: It has a relaxed golf course club room atmosphere with a main upstairs dining room and patio seating (weather permitting). There is also a downstairs area with an additional bar and space for live music (which seems to be a regular occurrence). I appreciated the separation which allowed for distinct vibes depending on your mood. My apologies that I have no picture to share (though the food and drinks were photo worthy) I was too busy enjoying myself.

The plate itself was scorching hot--I couldn't even pick it up. It honestly felt like the burrito had been microwaved for too long. I ordered the Chile Verde wet burrito and had a similar experience. The plate was extremely hot, the pork was very tough and seemed undercooked for a dish that should be tender, and nearly half of the meat was fat. I also found multiple bay leaves mixed into the burrito. The chips were so heavily salted that they were practically inedible. I actually had to rub some of the salt off before eating them. This was our second visit, and unfortunately, it will probably be our last. Our waitress was very friendly and provided good service, but for the prices they charge, I would rather eat at places like Tu Jalisco or La Costa in Oakley, Guadalajara Taqueria, Taqueria Salsa, or Las Fodongas in Antioch.
