Really impressed with everything here. The rec burger might be the best burger in town. I thought the tacos were a little pricey when seeing them on the menu but the portion size is generous. Our server Hayden was super helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. Lastly the decor was awesome. Unlike any restaurant I’ve seen.

This place was cool, from the outside appearance, the indoor atmosphere, vibes, staff and service…etc. Food and drinks were great! Burger was on Point, fries great and the tacos were amazing! Definitely will be returning!

This restaurant has a super unique and cool atmosphere/vibe, I’d give decor a 5/5. The menu selection was a bit random, there was no real theme. Some of the drinks were themed so uniquely they sounded gross, for example egg whites in a drink. All of the employees were very friendly which was much appreciated. I will say on a busier evening, it gets packed and the wait can be very long. Also, there are two bar areas here so it gets quite loud. I was happy to go for the experience but for the pricing of certain items that can certainly be found for cheaper and of equal or better quality elsewhere, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it. Take your business to a different Ann Arbor restaurant.

It was definitely an experience. The campy vibes are mismatched and recycled, and the old speakers made for quite a boomy sound. Our table was on the end right near the bathrooms, so not the best location. Definitely did not feel underdressed, as anything seems to go here and all are welcome. We did appreciate the free parking lot of which we were lucky enough to get a spot as we pulled in. Regarding the food, it was surprisingly good. I had the bandeja bowl which at first seemed a bit basic but ended up being pretty tasty with the combination of bbq sauces on the table. My husband also enjoyed his smoked chicken and brisket tacos. However, the most delightful part of the meal was the s’mores brownie pot pie! Save room because it is Wow.

First time here. Love the atmosphere, the big and comfortable booth seating area. The first impression is that it would be nice to come here with a group of friends and just hang out. We order BBQ Cauliflower Bites, Smoked Chicken w/ Mac and Cheese, and Bandeja Bowl. The food is alright, not my favorite, the smoked chicken is very chewy. We might come back again to see if we like other dishes.

Really interesting and unique place. The renovated building is interesting and the food was unusual and flavorful. Cool seating arrangements, unique cocktails and a tex mex BBQ inspired menu made for a nice evening. Looking at earlier reviews it seems they got their service issues figured out. We had no problems at all. Really helpful and attentive staff.

Food is good, but not too special. However, the atmosphere makes it worth a visit. The decor is very eclectic and interesting with various different styles across the restaurant. There are lots of fun surprises and unique things to look at. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and overall the experience was pleasant.

Great venue for food and friends! Amazing food (mac n cheese is out of this world as well as is the BBQ cauliflower), staff was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating (ask for Ruby) Reasonably priced with a way cool vibe (including the fire pit lounge). Parking is tight so take an Uber.

Stopped in for coffee. Love the eclectic vibe and comfy sitting area around the fire. Very delicious homemade pop tart. Had a bit of the sticky bun too and it was very good. My Pueblo honey latte was really good as well, just missing ceramic mugs but perhaps they will have them in time. Definitely plan to be back.
