Such a nice place to be. The food is very good when you find your dish, I didn’t like hush puppies, but loved my no pig burger, baked beans and draft beer. The kids menu didn’t really work for us, we don’t eat oily fast food, but kids enjoyed Beyond burgers and sides from the main menu. Live music, beautiful views of the skies over the park outside are uncomparable to any other places.

Our waitress Jasmine was very friendly, courtious and atentative. It was our first time dining in. We liked the atmosfere food came out hot and very fast. The smoked wings had a lot of flavor, I just wish they would of drizzle more buffalo sauce on top of them instead of placing the wing on to of a pool of buffalo sauce. My only complaint was the margarita on the rocks..it was very sour and not enough alcohol, the glass didn’t have salt rim like a traditional margarita. Everything else was spot on. We are looking foward to coming back again.

Great spot to stop on the weekend! My husband and I were out running errands and decided we would eat out for lunch. I’m so glad we chose to stop here! We ordered the twice-baked stuffed jalapeños and I wasn’t able to share a photo because they were delicious — We ate them up too quick for a picture! I loved the salad menu here, there was something for everyone. Both of us ordered the Improper Caesar and it was one of the best salads I’ve ever had! I loved the variety of toppings and the healthy romaine lettuce. The best part? It comes with shredded, smoked meat. So, even ordering a salad, I still got the smoked BBQ flavor and it was amazing!
