    Mango sunset and cali drip
    Lynnelle E.

    We recently went to the brick & mortar store. It's not too big, you literally go through the door: place your order, pay, and walk out with your order. It's a pretty efficient and seamless option. They have outside dining area. Parking lot is pretty big because it's shared with other businesses. We came here for lunch and I was sad we weren't here earlier for breakfast. The menu sounded like a pretty good spread and they open at 6am. I'm not sure if that's weekends only or everyday that they are open. If I lived closer, I'd definitely be here to try breakfast. We ordered: 1. Pulled pork sliders: Amazing with the fries. 2. 2 way meat: brisket and tri tip were ok. A little over cooked for my liking. They ran out of mac n cheese and it was another 25 minutes for a fresh batch. I ended up going with potato salad which was pretty good. 3. Beef hot link: Ordered a side because I had to try it. To me it was pretty hot and spicy but flavorful. 4. Cali drip: I didn't know until leaving a review that this was the same place we tried in Vallejo. It was still disappointing to me in my opinion but my standards are pretty high for a calamansi drink. 5. Sunset drink: I forgot the name but this is delicious. It had bits of mango with cranberry juice. Overall, a good experience. I'll for sure come back soon to try breakfast

    Our new go to Bbq spot!!! Service was great, Doc and his family were welcoming nice seeing a family running a business together. The food was delicious love that everything had flavor and went well together and nothing was dry. Smoked ox-tail kare kare was fire juicy and tender even had it with some rice, Pork ribs was juicy and the flavor was great didn't even need the bbq sauce loved the savory beans, Potato salad was good too! Tri tip and brisket were tender and juicy like I said nothing was dry. Definitely will be coming back.

    Small little BBQ joint with outdoor seating. Very friendly staff. The Mexican Lumpias were very good. Think of a lumpia with birria meat with the soup. The ribs were very good, tender and juicy. The Tri tip was a bit dry and overcooked, I like my meat more rare. I would get the ribs again but probably not the Tri tip.

    This is what I got for $111.00 !!! Rip off !!!  I will never go back, I will drive to Buckhorn in Vacaville and get 3x the food !!!

    This is what I got for $111. dollars !!! Rip-off !!! These are tiny containers !!! The food had zero flavor !!! I will never go back !!! I will drive to Buckhorn in Vacaville and get 5x the food !!!!!!

    What are their open day/hours? I've tried to call at different times and never can get someone.

    Any good salad options?

    They are currently testing some salad options, and providing samples to customers. I imagine it'll be on the menu soon as a side salad.

    The food was pretty good! But the service could've been better. They forgot our cups, so we asked…read morefor some and it took them 10 minutes to get them, when we asked a waiter he rolled his eyes and ignored us. The grill was not high enough so our meat didn't sear, took another fifteen minutes with a server that looked like he just wanted to get out of here to turn up the heat. They forgot about our scissors, and when we asked a waiter for them that same waiter rolled his eyes once again and mutter something to himself, before pointing at another waiter to go and get them. Overall we felt pretty ignored, the food took a while to come out and the sides came out at completely different times. Otherwise, the music was good, a little overstimulating but nothing I couldn't handle.

    Some of the best kbbq I've had!…read more Upon entering the restaurant is very nice and has a nice little waiting area in case there is a bit of a wait. We were seated right away though. The staff were very nice and on top of it! Getting in orders and helping us out with what to order and how much to order for our group size. So that was very helpful! Very on top of water and refills on drinks as well! The food was amazing! The appetizers were so good! Some of the best lemon pepper wings I've had so definitely check those out! They offer ramen and fries on their appetizer menu so that's different but very cool. The meat itself was fresh and well marinated and very good They offer really fun and different alcohol drinks to try out as well so worth looking into when visiting The only thing would be some of the tables don't have vents directly over them, so you might get smoked out by the table next to you. Not a big deal, they're pretty on top of grill changes and may only be for a second The have high ceilings so most of the smoke goes straight up but in our case came over to our table. Smelled good though The price is reasonable and they even offer sushi for a up charge so maybe that's worth checking out on another visit! All in all great kbbq spot! Good selection, good food and drinks and nice people Will be back! Highly recommend

    Their Galbi Tang alone is worth 5 stars. Perfect for a freezing cold evening when you don't feel…read morelike cooking dinner. I don't think it's on their take-out menu, but somehow I was able to locate it. Imagine lean, tender short ribs simmered in a clear broth, served with clear noodles. No need to spruce it up, as it is already flavored perfectly. I would say, it's the closest thing to homemade, without being homemade. The only downside is if you order on Door Dash, they don't tell you that the restaurant closes from 4pm to 4:30pm. But having had to wait outside in the cold, only made the soup that much better.

    Tried the Crispy Padak Chicken wings ($37 for full portion of 20 wings, with pickled radish side…read moreincluded). The wings were fried to perfection where the outside was crispy but the inside was so juicy and tender. But I didn't care for the glaze (which I believe is their "garlic soy glaze"), because it had a strong mustard flavor, which I totally didn't expect from the name. I was really expecting a savory and garlicky soy sauce flavor that would be balanced with a hint of sweetness. So the mustard flavor really took me by surprise and I wasn't a fan - If I had known they used mustard in that glaze, I wouldn't have ordered it. Service was nice and quite fast. I liked how after we placed our order, they pre-warned us that it might take them 20 mins to prepare the wings, although it turned out to be faster than 20 mins, which we appreciated :) The restaurant looks small from the outside but is so spacious on the inside. the restaurant was clean and organized.
