First time at this restaurant where I ended up getting the Smashed burger with fries and their…read moreHouse Margarita. The smash burger was well made, tasty and comprised of two patties that equated to a 1/2 lb burger I believe? It came with sliced onions and good amount of sliced pickles where these little green gems add so much to the burger in both crunchy texture and taste. The fries were equally well made and crunchy and a nice complement to the burger. Overall a solid good tasing meal at a very reasonable cost versus the down state pricing I am use too. Relative to the Margarita, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the drink as it was being sold as a well drink that lowered my expectations a bit. It was quite good and served in a nicely salted mason jar which I love and at the very reasonable price of $7! That's a deal in my book all day long! The bar/restaurant itself has a dark inviting vibe too it where it defiantly feels more bar than restaurant which I always enjoy when I am on the lookout for a good bar burger. Staff was very friendly with prompt service and great follow up throughout the meal. I noted the comments on slower service on other reviews which may have been during the peak summer hours but in my visit here I saw none of that on a Monday eying at 5pm during Mid May timeframe. Overall if you are a fan of bars and bar food than this business will probably be right up your alley. Of note if you like Margarita's you should defiantly order one, or two or..... while here as the price is hard to beat especially at this quality !

As we entered the restaurant you could see their commercial grade smoker going with inviting aroma's of smoked meats wafting through the air creating both a nice visual and a mouth watering invitation to enter the restaurant. I get a kick out of these these bad boy smokers as too often they are hidden behind the restaurant. Relative to our meal, we got the Cod Fish and chips and the full rack of baby backed smoked ribs. Both entree's were well made and very tasty, especially the ribs, where the the portion size were so large we could easily have split both of these meals into two which is something I would suggest if you are coming here and usually eat a small to moderate portion size. For drinks we got their Old Fashioned which was well made and quite tasty in its own right but a tad small volume wise in my opinion. I normally expect 2 full oz's of Bourbon in my drink and not sure this drink hit that mark. Just a minor gripe here and did not detract from my meal by any means as evidenced by the 5 stars. Relative to staff and facility, the staff was super friendly with great follow up where the facility I would describe as clean, a bit rustic (in a good way) and most importantly a comfy environment to enjoy your meal in. Also, as it was a Friday nite and a band started playing later in the evening that just added another layer of goodness about this business and overall dining experience. Overall, I am a big fan as this business as hits on all cylinders when it comes to a nice dining experience and one not to be missed if you are in the area. As a cautionary note, they get real busy right around 5 pm on a Friday with a waiting list that moves fairly quickly. I am assuming the same thing probably happens on Saturday. if you want to get seated immediately on those evenings you should probably arrive a tad bit in front of 5pm to avoid the wait.

Ate there several times in the food was just awful. But apparently they were bought by the people who owned mangoes about three years ago or so, and decided to give it a whirl for a drink.

I've seen the system on TV and it was kind of cool seeing it in person. I'm gonna wait to give it a higher rating when I can try the food sometime. But so far they've done a great job.
