Now, as soon as you walk in there's trash on the floor, it looks like the floor has not been cleaned in days. It was our first time to this location, we went up to the counter and were told we could sit anywhere. Keep in mind, people had just left as we walked in. There was zero disinfecting of the couches between customers. The lady there was not very attentive, we had to call her over to check on our coals. The restrooms were both gross. Absolutely no cleaning. The doors to the restrooms were completely smudgy as if they have NEVER been cleaned. All around just seems like this place has zero upkeep. A definite no for me. Not coming back.

Update (April 2026)…read more Came back on a Sunday around 3PM, and the service did a full 180. We were seated quickly, and our server Erin was on it. Great attitude, attentive, and things actually came out in a timely manner. Love to see it. I ordered a mojito and they did not play in my face. Made it properly with club soda instead of Sprite, so points were definitely earned there. Now... the food? Yeah, we need to talk. We ordered the brunch special, oxtails with biscuits and gravy. First of all, I'm almost positive that was pot roast in an oxtail costume. Let's start there. The biscuits? Giving frozen-from-a-bag, baked a little too long for good measure. But the real villain of the plate was that gravy. Because what do you mean this clearly didn't come from the meat? It tasted like it came straight out of a jar... probably store brand at that. And I'm just confused because gravy is literally one of the easiest things to make if you already cooked the meat. Why are we cutting corners here? So yes, we were seated quickly, treated well, and the drinks were solid. But the food? Absolutely not. If you're coming here hungry and expecting a good meal (which I was), please eat before you arrive. If you're coming for drinks, music, and a good vibe, then you'll have a great time.

Simple question, right? He asked me was I born yesterday. He was over zealous and overly drunkin' with the little power he has. Even after I told him say less, I walked away and he followed me onto the street still talking. Sad part is this is the best he can probably do for work, based on his size and not his brain. I'm never spending any money in this establishment again. It's been a while since I been here and now I remember why. Sad part is it's the location I recommended for my friends from out of town visiting for my birthday. Needless to say, we went elsewhere. Check out the owner's response to my review on Google. Instead of trying to make things right, this establishment makes threats of violence. Why would you want to go to a place like this?

Definitely a vibe. We ordered the blue mist hookah which didn't disappoint. Our waiter was very attentive and switched out our coals twice so that we would have a a good experience with the hookah.

Since it was soft launch there was a DJ at brunch, not sure if you'll get that every time. The venue was dressed up for the brunch with white linen table cloths, gold chargers, all place settings including salad fork. Nice lighting with booths with a view to the bar. Wait staff was polite but felt like they are still new or are still tentative to taking orders. I chose to have coffee and it wasn't served to me even after asking for it a second time. The chicken and waffle was good. Chicken was tender and cooked well, crispy. Only suggestion is that it would be better with a slight kick - need more spice!

At $18, I expected a high-quality smash burger and hot, well-executed fries, but both were underwhelming. The burger lacked the crispy sear you expect from a smash style and wasn't notably flavorful, and the fries were overcooked, under-salted, and flavorless. Service was also slower than expected for a simple order; there were barely that many of us waiting. This used to be a well-revered food truck. I almost gave this a 2-star review because the price point of $18 (that's the price WITHOUT a drink), but I'm not trying to tank this joint's average. Maybe it was an off day. I truly just want to give an honest review to temper all the glowing reviews that led me to this place today. I will not be returning.
