With that out of the way, the food offering they serve is quite nicely done. Since this was our first time, we've decided to try out their plater. That was a good choice as we thoroughly enjoyed all of it, the ribs, brisket, pull pork, and sausages. Although there are benches and tables around the area, you may still want to do take out, as summer weather can bring unwanted bugs and dust from wind.

Greeted us with a smile. I do advise to bring cash. It's a little extra charge for card use (which is common).the order was made within 15 minutes. Seating? It's in an area where you can sit but it's a food truck. I hope they stay in the area for a while because it's delicious! If they move, I hope they make sure to update where they are located so we can return! Highly recommend.

First, the service is pretty mediocre…read more They act like it's an inconvenience for you to visit, as opposed to recognizing the fact there are 50 places in the area that do the same thing. Guys behind the counter barely acknowledge you're there. Second, the wings taste like they're cooked in oil that is 5 days old. Makes you burp, with a bad taste, and regret you ordered it. Positive: wings are nice size, and the wing flavors are decent.

Had a Buffalo Trace on a big rock ! Lunch was a Avalon Bison Burger , medium rare topped with onions, mushrooms melted bleu and Gruyère and arugula very good and I had the garlic parm broccoli. Over all the experience was good but for a Monday early afternoon it should have been spot on, place was dead. Ambiance was chill, bar stools comfortable and art on wall appropriate.

Our steaks were cooked. Perfect we had the buffalo ribeye Del Monaco the appetizer onion rings were not that good. They really push them there. You're not missing out if you don't get them the nachos were good. Our waiter was miserable maybe because it was hot. He had no sense of humor very dry was not attentive to any of our needs water, extra drinks, etc.. but the steaks were good. We will go back and try it again. I'm just surprised that the manager wasn't giving anybody maybe a free appetizer or a drink because the AC was out now I know some of you were probably saying well, I would've left if that was the case keep in mind we drove an hour there not knowing the AC was out until we arrived

Balboa Steaks - Chicken Cheesesteak (10/10)…read more I've always said Balboa has my favorite cheesesteaks, but after ordering their chicken cheesesteak for the second time, I'm ready to say something I never thought I'd say... This is the best sandwich I've ever eaten. Seriously. I've had great meatball subs, Reubens, turkey clubs, Italians, cheesesteaks, PB&Js, egg salad--you name it. The only sandwich that's even in the same conversation is Ms. Cindy's Italian from Ioannoni's, and even that is a close second. This chicken cheesesteak is a perfect 10/10. Why? * Flavor: Outstanding. Every bite is packed with flavor. * Seasoning: Perfectly seasoned. Nothing bland, nothing overpowering. * Cheese Ratio: Exactly how it should be. Every bite has cheese without drowning the sandwich. * Bread: Fresh and soft while still holding together from start to finish. * Moisture: This is what separates it from most chicken cheesesteaks. The chicken is incredibly moist and juicy without making the roll soggy. Most places treat a chicken cheesesteak like it's just a cheesesteak with chicken substituted in. Balboa doesn't. It feels like they actually designed the sandwich around the chicken instead of just replacing the beef. I even texted the owner after eating it because it was that good. I told him: "Flavor. Seasoning. Cheese ratio. Bread. Moist and juicy. God damn." That pretty much sums it up. If you've only ever ordered the regular cheesesteak from Balboa, do yourself a favor and try the chicken cheesesteak at least once. It completely changed my opinion of what a chicken cheesesteak can be. Final Rating: 10/10 Best sandwich I've ever had.

When it arrived it only came with the sandwich, you have to order everything else separately. When I opened the container it looked nice, however, it looked like catchup was sitting on top. We took our first bite and were so disappointed. First the meat had good smoke but no seasoning. Also, the sandwich was cold. Im not talking room temp I'm talking cold and the sauce tasted like catchup that had vinager added to it, just not good. They didnt even take time to toast the bread so once they put it on top of the cold meat it was dry. Overal this place was a fail.

I decided to try Uncle Johns because another place that I wanted to get food from wasn't open. I had the brisket plate for take out so I can eat it for lunch on my break time at work. The brisket was pretty good, tender some and with the added bbq sauce gave it good flavor and enjoyable to eat. My side with the plate was the potato salad. Pretty good as well, very homemade and enjoyable as well. It also came with cornbread. Now the cornbread was absolutely amazing and probably one of the best I ever had. The sweetness of the cornbread was just right and perfect. For desert, I added the peach cobbler which was also delicious. Great service as well.

No greeting when I walked in so I thought they might be closing early but they said they were open until 8:45 PM.

The food was hot, although the tater tots tasted a little like freezer burn. I ordered a burger with lettuce wrap but, received it on a bun. The rest of the order was correct. We spent over $30 and the meal was just so so. The place was empty and I can see why after that visit.
