He gave us some of the highlights on the menu that we were happy to try. We loved the chicken wings and the jalapeño popper burger. Drinks were also great!

Wings were good, but the menu said buffalo wings and there was no sauce and no spice. Big salad was…read morevery poor. Brown and wilted greens topped with a 1/4 cup each of chopped celery, raw onion, mushy chopped tomatoes, and coarsely chopped chunks of carrot. Who puts celery and raw onion on a green salad? It's like the chef rummage around in the fridge to find some kind of vegetables to throw on top of yesterday's lettuce. The atmosphere is terrible. We sat outside in the back because it was a nice evening. The area was in the process of being demoed for construction. Torn up broken pieces of lumber everywhere. I remember thinking when I sat down, "Is this a joke? " There were ashtrays on the tables. People smoking cigarettes. I don't even know if that's legal. Then they started a poker game? The clientele was kind of rough looking also. We will not be back.

I had high exceptions for this restaurant but I was disappointed. We were seating around 1:45pm and…read moreit was somewhat busy but nothing too crazy. We waited for an HOUR for our food. We ordered the deep-fried mushrooms and green mango prawn salad as our appetizers and we didn't even get those to start with. Everything came all at once. The mushrooms were cold and the salad was underwhelming. It wasn't much of a salad, it just had the prawns, bigger slices of mango which were soft and didn't have the crunch, sprinkles of carrots and that was about it. Pho: They advertised their broth is made for 24 hrs but it did not taste like it. It didn't have the depth of the flavor it should have if it's on the stove for that long. The ribs did not have any flavor and were not cooked properly. The meat should be falling off the bone and it was hard to chew through. It seemed like they just boiled the meat as fast they could to make it presentable enough. Com bo luc lac: This dish had none of the vietnamese flavors and tasted more like a chinese dish.

Tracy and Marcia's service and attitude are beyond great. They are both great people and business owners as well, they provided us a great food experience. Do yourself a favor and give Cranks Smokin BBQ a try. The price and service will not disappoint. Did I mention the chicken was awesome?

The gouda was lost in the sweetness, a saltier cheese may be a better option. As for the burger patty, it was cooked perfectly and was clearly freshly ground. However, today it was missing salt and it really needed it with all of the onions. I'd definitely go back and try their bacon cheeseburger and the pies/desserts.

The cornbread was the star of the show. Exceptional!!! The butter it came with? Out of this world. I wasn't a fan of the entree and that was partially my fault. I didn't specify how I wanted my steak cooked, and for me, it was undercooked. I should have gotten the chicken, and would like to try it next time I go. I also hope they bring back the Mac and cheese, so I can try that as well! My husband got the lamb and liked it, it was a bit undercooked for him and he prefers it to have more crusting. Overall, we would love to return! Our server was so attentive and sweet. Good service truly makes all the difference.

Really good vegetarian options! The hotpot veggie broth is deeply flavorful, so the tofu, taro,…read moremushrooms, broccoli, pumpkin were great. The kimchi was tangy and not spicy. It grilled perfectly. I am not sure if the kimchi was vegetarian or not, I eat fish so I didn't check. My kids got the hot beef broth and liked it. There are many noodle options, including ramen, which the kids liked. They also enjoyed the brisket. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and checked on us a few times. How it works: Select your tier ($35/$45/$55). The whole table needs to be on the same tier. Pick two broths. Select five meat/seafood/tofu/noodle options to start. Go to the self serve area and get your veggies. Go to the self serve sauce bar and make up your dipping sauce. Cook your food. Value: three people, with soda/tea was $135 and I tipped $15. We got the first tier only. Hot food like egg rolls and pot stickers are extra and we didn't get any. Soft serve ice cream and cookies are included at no extra charge. I appreciate the pricing model but I found it expensive. This is more than we spend on sushi.

Was excited that another Hotspot spot opened up down south and it also had kbbq. I know a lot of…read morethe reviews reference that its $48 a person, which I agree is kinda steep since you have to pay for drinks like a can of soda separately for an extra $3. And if you want something a little fancier, they do have mocktails at $8. I spent $185 including tip and taxes for 3 people. The set up is nice as you can grill and have soup on the next grill. They do have a few booths and then some tables. But if youre a larger party, you might get split up if they're busy. I'd recommend reservations if you have a large party. But getting to the food. For the Hotspot portion, you can pick 2 broths and its set up in a yingyang formatted pot. Then you go to the "buffet line" to get your veggies, meats and etc. They do have some hot foods like chicken wings and some type of fried roll. Hotspot was just okay. I was hoping for more flavor. The kbbq was just okay too. But one thing to keep in mind, this spot does not have the exhaust pipes/hood like they do at kbbq to help with the air, so prepare to smell. Leave your fancy/dry cleaning clothes at home. When my friends and I went, it got pretty hot inside, and there was only a box fan. So being next to a grill and no A/C made it more hot and uncomfortable. Maybe its changed now hopefully. The staff was nice and service was decent. Oh, and they do have an ice cream machine, so that's what made this spot like a 3.5 out of 5.
