Server came right over took our drink orders. Came back in a flash. The mojito mocktail was delicious and I had the Athletic IPA. Ordered BBQ fries -- portions huge! Incredibly spiced with tons of chesses and jalapenos. I ordered the BBQ peanuts, ate half the bag and the rest came home. Next came the fried haddock dinner and she had the Pit Boss. Both portions were huge and delicious. She's from Louisiana and said could have been spiced a bit more but very tasty. The corn bread was moist and a good crumb. Mac and cheese side -- creamy and a good cheddar tang. No room for dessert. Service was as good as the food. The ambiance was excellent -- a very good vibe. They even have an allergen menu for folks with food allergies. Outstanding. Sorry for no pictures, too busy eating.

The owner actually reached out and chatted with me afterward, which I really appreciated. This location, though, is a 10/10. The service was super friendly even though they were closing in about an hour. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and never made us feel rushed. Ambiance: Spacious dining area with plenty of room--tables, chairs, and comfortable booths. It has a relaxed, welcoming vibe. Food: The buffalo ribs are to die for--like, I could genuinely eat them every day. I got two orders because they're that good. The burnt ends were flavorful; I personally like mine a little more charred, but that's something I could've easily asked for. The Brussels sprouts were amazing (I love Brussels sprouts and these did not disappoint). The wedge salad was solid, the cornbread was delicious with the melted butter on top, and the spring rolls were tasty as well. This time I ordered all appetizers and left full and completely satisfied. I'll definitely be back--especially for those mouthwatering ribs!

The institute's extravagant afternoon tea came from this long-established American barbecue…read morerestaurant, opened in 1995. Burnt Ends: Best of the day. The beef brisket was tender, flavorful, and juicy, not dry at all. The tomato-based barbecue sauce was sweet and refreshing, with a rich but not overpowering smoky flavor. It's said to have been smoked for 14 hours before being slowly stewed--I admire the restaurant's dedication. Pulled Chicken: Average. While the chicken thigh wasn't dry, it wasn't particularly tender, and there wasn't much juice. The North Carolina vinegar BBQ sauce was also bland. Coleslaw: A good way to cut through the richness, but nothing special. Cornbread: Soft and slightly coarse, with a natural sweetness from the grains. Delicious with sour cream. Chocolate Chip Brownie: Surprisingly, a BBQ restaurant's homemade dessert was also excellent. Soft in texture, with a bitter and fragrant flavor.

I had never heard of Cajun cabbage so the man at the counter gave me a sample. How is that for customer service? The brisket had bark so I know they have a smoker. They also had Mac & cheese. My plate was full. A piece of cornbread came with it....... like I had room after my meal for cornbread. There were five different types of barbecue sauce. The hot one was my favorite. I had them give me the sauce on the side. I would recommend. Remember to bring an appetite.

TL;DR - if you are from Bombay, are craving that specific Bombay Chinese food taste, and Vada Pav - look no further - this is the place. Most of their staff are fellow Mumbaikars - shout out to Shiv, Dhvani, and Ronak! Shiv, our server was friendly and our hungry table got straight to ordering which included a flavor packed and well priced Lychee Martini ($10), Masala Chai Hot Toddy ($12), and Spicy 'Lil Rita ($12) - being the best one! Food included some well name dishes like Kashmiri Deviled Eggs ($12), Vada Pav ($12), Rasam Risotto ($15), Butter Chicken Pot Pie ($20), Chicken Steak with Makhani Sauce ($18), Street Fried Noodles ($16), and Penne Pasta with Chicken for the kiddos. Food just hits the right spots and is very flavorful, extremely well seasoned, and perfectly spiced. Interiors and their bar is very inviting. Noise levels during our stay were on the lower end. Service was excellent. What was refreshing was they didn't charge us any automatic gratuity even for our large group - but absolutely deserved a generous one! Highly highly recommend if flavorful food is your thing!

While I appreciated small touches with being able to put your jackets in a plastic bag under your seat, everything else fell a bit short. The quality of the meats and produce was a bit disappointing. The onion our server used to flavor and start our grill with looked dry, the pumpkin seemed to have a bit of frost as though it were frozen, and the overall quality of the meat was a bit lackluster. Even towards the end of our meal, even when our server told us the meat was ready, a couple of pieces were still raw. The banchan was not bad and the bibim naengmyeon we had was probably the best part of our meal. Sadly I don't think we'll be back based on our experience.

The food wasn't an off temp and their sides are pretty much the same. However, their fries were not as seasoned as I've had before and their spicy n sweet coleslaw had zero spice and tasted just like regular coleslaw. I still think their brisket is the best protein they have and I've had the chance to try their pulled chicken and jalapeno cheddar links which are both decent as well. I haven't been able to try the ribs again since I was so disappointed the last time I tried it and am reluctant to pay for another bad experience. The wings are better, but still nowhere near the same as I had it years ago. They were still somewhat dry depending on the different sized pieces and the wings needed more seasoning. The hot wings were good and not as spicy this time around, but I still prefer the OG wings overall.
