    I stopped going to Heritage after Harper opened, and I love Heritage…read more I no longer need to drive down to San Juan because of this place. Their wagyu tri tip is perfection. Seasoned perfect, tender, delicious. My usual gripe with bbq is under seasoning, dry, and tough. Their specials are always amazing too. Their natty wine selection is top tier. The actual design of this place is amazing as well. I love this place, highly recommend.

There might even be a private room you can host your friends to watch games. - looks like they have a great selection of brewskis and booze. I did not partake. - The food, to add was for takeout. I had the ribs and tri tip. Everything sold by half Lbs. I'm use to half rack or full kind of portions but no big deal. My ribs were dry and I suspect it's because it was just sitting in the locker. (I went around 1:30p). I can imagine it would be tasty if fresh, the seasoning looks on point. I had the beans side and that was very good! - service was on point! Everyone seems cool. No complaints. Overall, when you add price and the quality. Unsure if I'll go back. But if you do make sure you go closer to lunch to get freshest meats. I have no doubt the ribs and tri tip would be better then.

    When should I go back. Ever just have a craving and a place actually meets your craving…read moreexpectations??? Well. Hole smokes - you did it! That's a hard feat for me and my other half bc we are picky! But this was great, and we tried a bunch of stuff. So, the man- well he was thoroughly satisfied with his full on bbq platter of brisket and meat and the carne asada tacos the next day. lol. I tried a bite and the meat was so juicy and tender - extremely well cooked and seasoned and just Melt in your mouth - LIKE BUTTER!!! I, on the other hand, have been craving shrimp, don't know why, but they had it on the menu, so figured I'd try - and the smoked shrimp tacos- man OH man - so delishious! Yup! I spelled it wrong on purpose - de-lish. The fried shrimp tacos too and my other craving- Cole slaw. Yummie - I should have ordered more than I did because it was so refreshing and crisp and sweet and just perfect. Mac and cheese creaminess was adored by both of us, wanting more of that too! The only thing I didn't care for, which was slightly disappointing, was the cornbread. Quite dense for me. I couldn't enjoy it. So kind of a shame. And I got a Shirley temple to boot while we waited! Who doesn't love an old fashioned Shirley temple! We had decided to go in person to place our order bc we felt like it needed the 'in person attention', which was good bc the bartender takes the orders and there seems to be ' regulars' at the bar and the attention definitely goes more towards the bar then the phone- so I'm very glad we ordered in person or else it might have been messed up. Just being honest. Even were interrupted mid order by another 'patron' to the staff about plans or something. So that was kind of annoying as we had to repeat that item 3 times to get it correctly ordered. But overall. We will definitely go back, try other menu items and have definitely recommended already. Happy to have found a good bbq spot semi-near where we currently live.

    Not really a big fan of it but I was craving BBQ and stumbled upon this one…read more Food came out pretty quick which I suspect they only reheat them or something, the meat was super dry and hard to chew for some reason. I understand that I came after regular lunch hours, probably 2-3, but I was hoping they maintain their quality. The decoration is nice and there was not plenty of people dining when I came.

The Kainomi was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the seaweed salad was fresh, light, and perfectly seasoned. The orange sherbet was also such a refreshing way to finish the meal. I honestly wanted to try so many more dishes, but since there were only two of us, we could only order so much. Next time, I would love to come with a bigger group so we can try more of the menu.

You could tell they been around due to the furniture and style. Anyways, we absolutely enjoyed our meal. We ordered three al carte meats: marbled prime rib eye, boneless short ribs and the prime outside skirt. I can assure you the meat was so soft and tender. Quality at its finest. You can cook them either well done or my preference is medium. Very tender and melts in your mouth.. Their side dishes were good, the seaweed salad and the hot stone rice bowl. Make sure you to add those on your visit. I mean this place has 2k reviews, 2 hour waits, not much I need to say. This restaurant speaks for itself. I'm glad I finally had the courage to wait out the hangryness!

I swapped the edamame for the mushrooms and shishito peppers (there was a small upcharge), and it was definitely worth it. My favorite course was the Sukiyaki Wagyu.

While searching for reservations, I came across Manpuku Japanese BBQ. I honestly didn't know much about it, but a handful of photos immediately caught my attention. Something about the presentation, atmosphere, and quality of the food made me curious enough to give it a shot. I was fortunate enough to secure a reservation the day before and sent the restaurant a message letting them know we would be celebrating my wife's birthday. Right away they were accommodating, responsive, and excited to help make the evening special. Parking was probably the most difficult part of the entire experience. We happened to get lucky and grabbed a spot just as another car was leaving. If not, I believe there is additional parking available nearby, but thankfully we didn't have to worry about that. Walking into the restaurant was my first surprise. For some reason, I expected a large bustling dining room. Instead, Manpuku felt intimate and welcoming. The soft lighting and wood accents created a cozy atmosphere that felt perfect for a special occasion. The restaurant was also spotless, with clean and organized dining areas and grilling stations. Instead of seating us at a traditional table, we were escorted to a private-style dining area where we removed our shoes before stepping into the seating space. It immediately made the evening feel unique and added to the intimate atmosphere. Now let's talk about our server. Hannah was outstanding. Since it was our first visit, she walked us through the menu, explained the different cuts, discussed preparation methods, asked about allergies, and provided recommendations throughout the evening. She was knowledgeable, professional, and personable, making us feel genuinely welcomed. Her attention and care helped make my wife's birthday dinner memorable. For our meal, we selected the A5 Wagyu Omakase. The experience started with beautifully presented appetizers, including Uni and Beef Sashimi, Seared Beef Sushi, Japanese salad, kimchi, and several small bites. The seared beef sushi was rich and buttery, while the Uni paired wonderfully with the beef. The A5 Wagyu selections were the highlight of the meal. Chuck short rib, culotte, chuck roll, and inner skirt each offered distinct textures and flavors, all showcasing the richness and tenderness that make A5 Wagyu special. The quality was evident in both the presentation and taste. And then there was the A5 Umami Rice. Despite being part of a Wagyu-focused meal, it stood out as a flavorful and comforting dish that kept everyone reaching for another bite. The drinks were refreshing and paired well with the meal. One thing that made the evening even more special was being able to share the experience as a family. Between the intimate atmosphere, attentive service, and excellent food, it felt like more than just dinner. To top everything off, the staff surprised my wife with a birthday dessert presentation complete with a candle and thoughtful decoration. Seeing the smile on her face while celebrating alongside our daughter made the moment even more meaningful and reflected the hospitality we experienced throughout the night. For anyone considering the A5 Wagyu Omakase, come hungry. While the presentation is elegant, the experience includes multiple courses and a generous amount of food. By the end of the meal we were completely satisfied and felt that the experience justified the price. Exceptional service, quality ingredients, excellent food, and an intimate atmosphere made for a memorable celebration.

Some fatty bits but that's where the flavor comes from. and this short rib was bomb! The edges were a bit dry but I'm coming at closing time so I get it. FYI short rib is by weight $40/lb so it was about $50 for it. The sides I got were their macaroni and cheese 10/10 tastes home made! Onion rings were ok. Coleslaw is alright. Good for fiber! lol.

Today they were also out of nacho cheese but I'm not sure what that goes on? There's a dry erase board when you come in that tells you what's sold out. It's fun to chat with the other guests about what they came for and what they settled for. We always get it To Go now although they do have tables available.
