We got our drinks right away and our food came out pretty quickly as well. We asked for a Smashburger with crispy french fries and the fries came out really crispy! The burger was good also.

They even list the farms where the ingrediants came from on the menu. When I arrived I had to use the washroom. Not only was it clean but it was stocked with cotton towels. I knew that this was a good omen of things to come. My husband and I had the grilled cheese and tomato soup and the grass fed hamburger. This may have been the biggest and most pack grilled cheese I've ever had. The hamburger was good but the potatoes that came with it stole the show. Since the entrees were so good we were excited to try the desert. We ordered the homemade chocolate peanut bourbon pie. This had the consistency of a pecan pie and was very rich. Everything was great at Thyme Craft Kitchen. It comes highly recommended!

Got the sampler for a late lunch and shared it among the three of us (we expected to eat light)…read more Was $37. Our sides were sweet potato tots and cole slaw. Given it's double the price of a single meat platter, I expected it to comfortably feed two. On the platter were two solid ribs, a quarter dark chicken, and one hot link which were all solid sharing portions. Brisket which I understand would be one of the more expensive items - was one slice plus a sliver of a dry end attached to it. I'm not sure if that's one slice or a one slice plus what one was counting as a second slice. This was a disappointing mark - I thought about asking the server about whether we should have at least a full second slice. Pulled pork - to me is a much less expensive item compared to brisket - yet a relatively small amount. Not as egregious as the easily measured brisket. Cole slaw - even if it was made in house as opposed a commercial bulk supplier, this is a low cost item no? Small dish. Quality is very good - just a question of the quantity. Tap water here seems filtered for neutral taste. It was a nice day on a quiet Sunday afternoon so we opted to get seated outside on the patio with umbrella shade. Traffic going by was light and quiet. Two servers available during the lull while we were there and the worked as a team to check on us outside.

All very good and great smoke flavor Ang quality of meat. They serve them with just dry rub but had a great selection of sauces on the tables. I added a side of chipotle Mac & cheese with ham and it too did not disappoint, very flavorful and a healthy portion. The wait staff was friendly and very quick to serve us even though there were 6 at our table. It was a nice night and we all sat out on the patio. They also had a good selection of craft beer which pairs so well with the BBQ.

The brisket has such a good smoky flavor and very tender and delicious. It does have some fat on it, but the flavor of the meat is very very high-quality. The portions are huge! We also enjoyed collard greens, but no one liked the mac & cheese. Unfortunately, the mac & cheese was very bland and watery. Service was great. They are friendly and clean. The white bama sauce is so good! I would definitely come back.

On a side note it's great that they do a half order. Burnt ends that the hubby raved over and a bowl of chili and home made cornbread. All the food was delicious. The only thing that I would change (and this seems to be at every BBQ place) is that the cornbread is still cold. Pop that into the microwave to heat it up and you have a hit !! Honestly the highlight was the awesome bartender. Can't remember his name but we bonded over dog stories and photos. (He has Norwegian Ellhounds) He was a great guy to chat with !!

It's just a wonderfully spacious place. Not the typical "shove in as many as we can". I was a huge fan of the bruschetta appetizer. The bread want nearly as hard as you usually get, and the Italian "pico" was quite flavorful. If you like nothing tastes and your taste buds live in mashed potatoes, don't bother. The Bianca pizza was really nice. Crust was the Italian style with the right texture, and crispness. My only complaint, the chairs are uncomfortable. Wifey's thoughts? She's busy today, so I will just tell ya, she loved everything and cannot wait to come back. So, I'm sorry this brief review isn't up to our regular standards, but we will be back and do a nicer job next time.

The fried ravs were fine. The old smokey drink was real good though. My chicken marsala was huge. It was quite flavorful, but I think the sauce was a bit thin. The four cheese ravioli was impressive as well. Both came with salads, and I believe that it was homemade creamy garlic dressing. I had a sweet tooth, but tiramasu was sold out. I got the impression that the chef was not too thrilled about making creme Brule so may be next time. Really good food though. I have leftovers.
