This restaurant is exclusively for the second version. I don't come here often because I respect myself. But when I do? Oh, it's a whole event. The smoked wings are everything, the ribs hold up every single time, the smoked chicken is to die for, and that potato salad has absolutely no business being that good. Bonus: one order feeds me for like three days. Three. Days. The portion sizes alone deserve a five-star review. This is my naughty place and I am at peace with that.

Vibe: Feels like a straightforward neighborhood BBQ spot…read more Nothing fancy, just good smoked food. Food: I ordered the smoked wings (12) and the spicy greens. The wings were seasoned just right and honestly didn't need sauce. If you want one though, go with the cilantro ranch. The BBQ sauce wasn't sweet or smoky, I'm still trying to figure out what the flavor was. Also, I got 9 drums and 3 flats, which was a little off, I'd prefer a 6/6 split. Online you cannot do all flats or all drums The spicy greens are meat-free and I even called both to make sure. had good flavor, but they were more sweet and spicy to me not just spicy. Service / Timing: The cashier wasn't very welcoming. No hello, no thank you, nothing. That definitely stood out for these prices. Value: Pretty pricey for what I got. My total was $27.55 for 12 wings and greens. HIGH Highlight: WINGS. Wrap-Up: Despite the service and the price, the food was good. I will be back for the wings!

The fried pickle spears were not breaded enough, but the remoulade dipping sauce was a nice change from the typical ranch dressing. Our "standard" burgers were char-grilled, greasy and perfectly seasoned. The double fried fries were crispy and tasty.

I love how they have comfy sofas for you to wait for the rest foe your party to show up. It's a fun spot, friendly for couples, groups, or even on your own! From the appetizers, you gotta try the fried dumplings, seafood pancake, corn cheese, steamed egg, fish cake, japchae, and all the pickled items. Actually, just get 1 of everything! The honey pig sauce is my #1 although their yum yum sauce is much improved and don't forget the simple sesame oil with salt or the ssamjang. Other kbbq spots have tried to make their own HP sauce but it's just not the same. Be prepared to cook for yourself although it is kinda fun and communal. Our favorite meats are the hanger steak, beef brisket, bulgogi, and thinly sliced pork belly. Honorable mention is the spicy pork bulgogi. The shrimp was tasty but you do have to get your hands dirty FYI. Our server, Ben, was amazing! He kept the food coming! I'm so full right now and still eating as I type this.

This was my first time trying this type of restaurant. I must say, cooking my own meat at a…read morerestaurant will take some getting used to but overall, I enjoyed the experience. I think $38.99 is a fair price for all you can eat. I like that the portions are small so too much is not wasted. This was also my first encounter with the delivery robot. That was cool. I don't like that it has other people's food on it though. I was sitting close to the kitchen so my food didn't have to travel too far but, I wouldn't want my food traveling across the room and making stops at multiple tables before getting to me. I'm from the South and I need a bit of flavor so I did add Salt and Pepper to the items while cooking. The salad dressing had no flavor. I ended up using the yum yum sauce as a dressing. The dumplings were good. The cucumber salad was also good. My favorite hot item was the steak and shrimp. The brisket was mostly fat and the thin pork belly was like Prosciutto. My only suggesting is serving the noodles closer to when the hot items are ready. They get stiff if they just sit. Oh, and I think you need separate tongs for seafood, pork, chicken, and beef. I was worried about cross contaminating. I'd try this again.

I liked the modern industrial interior (exposed ceilings, cement floor), complete with bespoke woodpiles. Super cheerful service. BIG portions (with an extra side, each entree is a meal for two), everything hand-made, many nods to modern American cuisine such as the care they spend on sides and the well-crafted cocktails. Amazing how many things you can smoke. Now, drinks and food. Nothing liked a smoking whiskey cocktail, people sitting next to you will stare in envy (as well they should). Wife's grilled pineapple mojito was topped with such a large mint sprig, it was positively horticultural. Along with the complementary cornbread, a great start. My barbecue expert's half rack of St. Louis-style ribs was trimmed and plenty moist, with six BBQ sauces to choose from. Lots of pickle slices (cucumbers in any form are perfect with seasoned meat). I had the "signature dish:" plank-smoked salmon, wild rice & roasted Brussels sprouts, a superb adaptation of the art of barbecue to a healthy piece of fish. Interesting chat with Chef Darneille about the challenges of the restaurant scene. Appreciated his honesty, he appreciated our business. Even as he had a party of 60 to attend to (there were just enough tables to accommodate us). And, only a block from Metro, making for a short run through any rainstorm.

The brisket is the true star of the show: slow-cooked over an open flame, it's fall-apart tender with just the right amount of bark and smoke. Each bite melts in your mouth, rich with flavor that can only come from hours in the pit and a whole lot of BBQ love. This spot isn't just about the meat (though, let's be honest, you could stop there and leave happy). They've also turned part of the space into a mini market that sells fresh local produce, prime cuts of meat, a curated wine selection, and even small-batch ice cream. It's like a one-stop shop for food lovers, whether you're dining in or taking a piece of the experience home. The atmosphere still nods to its past life--exposed beams, condiment stations, and vintage signage add to its cool, industrial vibe. It's the kind of place that feels both laid-back and unforgettable, perfect for a casual lunch or impressing out-of-town guests. If you're looking for a truly unique dining experience where the food is as memorable as the setting, this place delivers.
