    Sandwich menu
    Kim K.

    Stopped buying just at opening on Sunday. Seriously fun and interesting ambiance. Lovely mocktails and extensive bbq menu with some interesting twists. My pork sandwich was loaded with nice lean but tasty meat. There was a selection of bbq sauce. Extremely attentive service until other customers arrived. The sauces are local creations. The mustard sauce was actually loaded with mustard seeds. The plain sauce was more like spaghetti sauce than ketchup and not very interesting at all. I regret not trying the hot sauce: it could have been a lot more interesting than the otherwise unremarkable selection. The ambiance is the strength of this place, likely to be hopping as a meeting place in the evening.

    It was ok. I would have liked to see more bark and more smoke flavor. They were a little tough. I like a little snap but pulls away from the bone easy. The Mac and cheese were ok. It would have been better without so much bread crumbs. The burnt ends was so so not real burnt ends. Cornbread was cold and too sweet. It was more like jiffy . Coleslaw bland and dry. Needs to be more creamier less watery. The fried pickles were good. Tasted like homemade pickle wrapped in egg roll wrapping. I would put them with Dickey or Famous Dave. But far cry from Slows in Detroit. Staff was fantastic very friendly.

    The service is outstanding each and every time, the food is fabulous no matter what we order. This time a small sample of the soup had us hooked along with great drinks.

    Good food with the occasional hiccup but that's going to happen anywhere! Try the mozzarella wontons if you love cheese sticks!

    Is this business under new management over the last couple years?

    Would it be a good place for a server/bartender to do well, which has been in the business for over 20 years, is it worth it?

    Our servers and bartenders do pretty well, and there's always opportunity for advancement. Our new GM started off as a server with us when we opened 3 years ago, and she worked her way up.

    This place was amazing. We were looking for a fancy spot to…read moreeat dinner, and I will say, at first we realized this is not fancy and we didn't know what to expect. We were blown away! We were able to sit in a cute room with Christmas lights and decor! The mood lighting at night was great! I don't even know where to start with the food! We started off with the calamari and fried ravioli. I would definitely recommend the calamari, it was cooked perfectly with a delicious creamy light lemon sauce with Parmesan. We ordered many dishes and split them up between our family. We ordered the chicken picatta, it was amazing! It was cooked to perfection and the sauce was fresh and creamy. The chicken parmesan was classic! The tomato sauce was so fresh and the chicken was, again, cooked absolutely perfectly, the cheese on it was great and the portion was huge! The ceaser salad was homemade and the dressing didn't have fish which is good for a vegetarian. The gnocchi was phenomenal. It was pillowy and comforting and filled with a delicious cheese, we recommend ordering it with the palomino sauce (homemade Alfredo sauce mixed with Mariana sauce!). The pesto pasta was pretty good and if you like mushrooms the chicken masala was pretty good as well. Our waitress was so sweet! She was very helpful and answered all of our questions. She went out of her way to make sure we were having a good experience. If you live near by this is a must

    Waitress was super attentive. We also had the arancini which was okay. The chicken parm sauce was…read morevery watery but not bad. The breading on the chicken does get soggy from the sauce and it's not a breadcrumb breading but a wet batter. The dessert was pretty good but not the lemon forward I was expecting
