What People Say

Diners rave about the fall-off-the-bone ribs, generous portion sizes, and friendly, upbeat staff. The casual vibe and great beer selection make it a popular pre-show hangout. Many reviewers highlight how easy it is to get in and out quickly—even on busy nights—and how the food consistently delivers that satisfying BBQ kick.

Areas for Improvement

While most love the rustic charm, some mention that the restaurant can get a bit noisy during peak times.
