I also was glad I added cinnamon to it. To eat, I ordered the mac & cheese, but unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed with it. It was way too cheesy and pretty plain. It might just be me though because I usually spice up my mac & cheese. Our server was really great and super nice, especially because we came towards the end of the night. Overall, I definitely think I'd visit this place again to try something else and to have that Chai again!

They went above and beyond and were able to set up our tables inside in less than 20 min. The food was amazing. I had the Breakfast Migas. Never had it with zucchini in it, but it was so good. My husband had the TOB Breakfast. The homemade biscuit was amazing. My son ordered a flight of mimosas, which I'll be ordering next time. Everyone loved their meal. Considering we were a large party and knowing there was another large party in front of us, service was perfect. A little wait for the food, but again, that was expected and understandable. Our waitress made continuous rounds, keeping our glasses topped with our drinks, and keeping us informed of our food status. She was very calm and super friendly! Great job! Great service! We'll be back!!!

We've shared breakfast on both visits. The first time we had The Olive Branch Breakfast which is three eggs (we had scrambled), biscuit (you can get toast or biscuit), bacon, hashbrowns, and house made sausage. That's A LOT of food and you can see why we shared it. Our second visit we shared a jalapeño popper omelette and wheat toast. We also added a side of bacon. We were satisfied and happy with the service as well. We will return.

The service is so fast and friendly, they make you feel so welcome and taken care of. I swear each time I go their food gets better and better (or I get more and more obsessed). We usually get the loaded fries, brisket nachos, and brisket sandwich. Portions are huge and you definitely get your moneys worth. They are truly passionate about the food they make and their hard work definitely pays off. The building may not look like much, but it's clean and good enough to sit and enjoy your lunch. Next time you're craving some good quality BBQ, stop in and grab some out of this world lunch!

I…read moreordered a smoked Turkey sandwich to eat there and also a to go order for dinner for the family. I love a good smoked Turkey, but have been disappointed by many because of dryness. NOT HERE. This smoked Turkey was JUICY and had a good deep smoke flavor but not overwhelming. And it was piled with turkey. Not just two thin little pieces. It was a mouthful. I couldn't even finish it because I was stuffed. On my to go order I had a half a slab of ribs, smoked Turkey, sliced brisket, potato salad , beans, Mac and cheese, and BANANA PUDDING. The ribs were perfect. Smokey, didn't fall off the bone, but I want to be able to eat my rib without meat coming off in one bite. They were moist and very well seasoned and tender. Of course the turkey was perfect. The sliced brisket was just as good. Not all fatty pieces but lean, moist and just delicious. The mac and cheese was a little dry for my liking. I had to add some milk to it. But everyone has their version of Mac & cheese. I just prefer mine creamier and cheesier. The potato salad was good, as were the beans. Again, my opinion, the beans were a little sweeter than I am used to, but I would get them again. Now, the banana pudding was a MUST. YES, get banana pudding. I was really more impressed with this place than I anticipated I would be. But all of the meat was just so good. I WILL be back

The beef rib was huge. It was well cooked, seasoned well, and without a heavy overpowering smoke taste and smell. The meat was tender and juicy. The pork rib meat was also perfectly cooked, the seasoning was one of the best mix of savory I had in a while. Instead of a special restaurant dinner for anniversary we thought we would eat a couple ribs. The adage @you get what you pay for" holds up well here. But the bill was exurban and this was before the current high price of meat & everything else. My husband said that I would not want to know what he paid which means over $100. I hope they can hang on until their supplies are more affordable. The cost will I am sure be a disadvantage. What we paid would have been or useful in filling my pantry. That being said, it was one of the most enjoyable meals we've brought home. If we could afford it we would definitely be our go-to place. We are looking forward to iur anniversary in a couple months when we won't feel guilty about paying a big price for a meal. I will go for flavor over fancy every time and Helberg fits that shoe.

3.85 STARS. Met my family for lunch at Bare Arms Brewery last week for pizza and a midday brew…read more We ordered 3 personal pizzas and 2 orders of wings. Nothing quite pairs together like pizza and beer, in my opinion. The pizza was great, we had pepperoni, 3 meat and a jalapeno and sriracha. Not much on the pepperoni or 3 meat that I was left wanting, I definitely recommend it. The size is really good for one person too. The jalapeno/sriracha would have been better if there was something sweet to balance the heat, also the jalapenos were pickled which I am personally not a fan of. I don't recommend the wings, there's nothing really special there. It just seemed like some frozen chicken fingers tossed in sauce... I don't knock them for this though after all it is from a truck and I did still eat them. The service seemed to be decent, food came out relatively quick and staff was not rude. I didn't get the fun, super kind feeling from the guy working the truck but I'm also being overly critical. Great Pizza! I recommend it and I will definitely be coming back.
