All the meats were smoked and very tender. They aren't overly seasoned and there are bottles of bbq sauces on the side so you can flavor as you like. Service: 5/5 The service is friendly and efficient. Staff are welcoming from the start and happy to walk you through the menu or make recommendations. Food comes out in a timely manner, and they check in just enough to make sure everything's good without interrupting the flow of your meal. Ambiance: 5/5 The ambiance has a modern rustic BBQ vibe with wood accents, a lively bar area, and a casual, energetic atmosphere. It's upbeat without being overwhelming, making it a fun spot for group dinners or casual nights out. The space feels clean, comfortable, and easygoing.

I ordered through an app for p/u, and when I got there they didn't have anything I ordered. I ended up getting chicken wings, mac and cheese, and a piece of whiting. They also gave me a free piece of bread pudding. The chicken and fish lacked flavor and was greasy. The bread pudding was dry, but the flavor was there. The mac and cheese was not creamy and there was no flavor. I want to give them another try because some of the other photos look better than what I had. Maybe I went on an off day.

The fries are nice and crispy- the kind with a snap! The Louisiana style wings also gets a thumbs up. However the Vanilla Black and White milk shake gets a thumbs down. That's because it was on the thin side. It lacked the thickness texture of a good milk shake. Service was provided with a smile.

The staff at this restaurant are trained to waste people's time who come in to pick up mobile…read moreorders. EVERY time I come here to pickup a mobile order around the estimated pickup time (which is a good 10 minutes after the order has been placed) the staff hasn't even THOUGHT about starting to prepare the order. They only focus on preparing orders placed in-store, so as I'm standing there waiting a whole 15 minutes past the time my order was supposed to be ready, customers are literally walking in, ordering at the register, and walking out with their orders. The sheer lack of consideration for wasting people's time is blatantly dysfunctional, unorganized, and negligent. The whole point of placing a mobile order is for that order to be prepared and ready BEFORE the person arrives. The other way in which the staff is disrespectful, particularly towards delivery drivers who are getting paid to facilitate their business, is that they treat all drivers like thieves. After making drivers wait 15+ minutes past the pickup time, the staff has the audacity to then refuse to hand the driver the order until the driver has "confirmed" the order on the app. They do this because scumbag drivers in the past have stolen orders without confirming. The actual solution to the ROOT of this problem is to report those thief drivers to whichever company the order was placed on (UberEats, DoorDash, etc) and get that driver deactivated. Treating every single driver like a thief, especially AFTER deliberately making the driver lose money by waiting a long time for a fast food order, is disrespectful beyond belief. It's almost as if they don't realize that drivers are also potential customers, and fellow citizens who are just trying to make a living. Any business that's managed this way doesn't deserve ANYONE'S money.

"Pepe's Deli" stood there looking at me, daring me to come in. Well I accepted the dare, because I was going in. But getting there wasn't going to be easy because parking in the area was terrible; I had to park a few blocks up, now back to the story. Inside it was packed. There was a soccer game going on and the people inside were invested. I looked around and liked the organization. In the back they had visible merchandise, but that's what you expect from smaller businesses. I walked over to the counter and two wonderful woman worked back there. They asked me what I wanted and quickly put my order together. I asked for extra tartar sauce and she had no objections getting some for me. I took my meal to go because I was in a hurry to meet up with some people. When I tried the fish I felt this was what good fish should taste like. It was flaky and the perfect texture. The tartar sauce seemed to be store made and complimented my meal. The potato salad also was store made. I enjoyed that as well. How could I have never seen this deli before! I can tell you this for sure, it might be my first sighting of this hidden gem, but it won't be my last visit.

When I called to inquiry, they told me I only needed to provide a deposit. I go to pay the deposit then they tell me I have to pay the amount in full because they needed to buy the fish.

I was so embarrassed. The fish was hard and lacked flavor. What a waste of money! I would never purchase food from this establishment again.
