They also have side dishes like cole slaw, baked beans and fried corn, and they have some beverages. We had the barbecue ribs (they use a dry rub) and baked beans and cole slaw. It cost $8. The food was very good especially for the price. The ribs were very good and so were the beans. I have paid much more for ribs in much bigger restaurants that were not nearly as good. They serve it in a styrofoam container with plastic ware. If you are in the area you need to try them out!

The staff are always very welcoming and friendly, and the interior feels warm and inviting.

Tucked among an intersection of amazing restaurants, we finally got to check out Char!…read more While looking at some of the Artprize pieces, since Char was a venue this year, my fiancé ordered the steak fried rice and I ordered a fried noodle bowl with rice noodles and chicken. There are plenty of toppings to choose from and everything tastes super fresh. It's like Qdoba/Chipotle style where you pick what sauces and toppings you want then they whip it all together for you. First bite was a flavor explosion and continued throughout both the dishes. Yum yum sauce was on point. Service was quick and friendly. It is a bit pricey but the fiancé treated dinner on this night ;) A friend suggested their nachos which we will have to try next time. The space is shared with Gita Pita so there is a dining area that is in between both restaurants. If you felt like trying two places at once you knock that out by grabbing something from Gita Pita while you wait for your food from Char. Definitely will be back again and I'm glad to finally cross Char off my list!

Got their food for a work meal. Everyone enjoyed the food. Service was fabulous. Talked to them…read moretwice before the order and both times extremely helpful. The restaurant it self was clean and what you would expect for the style of restaurant. I would say that the order process online is a tad confusing but people I talked to were helpful and mad everything as desired with the help. The appetizers like the egg rolls and crab Rangoon seemed a tad expensive for what we got but did taste good.

Great experience all around at Meat BBQ. Went on a Friday night at 6pm and the restaurant was full,…read morebut we were sat right away. It's also very nice that despite the place being full, it wasn't loud. They don't play background music that drowns out the conversation. It felt more relaxing that a typical dinner spot. Service was attentive and quick. Apps arrived within 10-15min of ordering and entrees were another 15 minutes after that. The show stopper here is the BBQ. The smoked chicken wings are some of the best wings we've ever had. The BBQ nachos are packed with flavor with fresh toppings. Only thing we ordered that didn't meet expectations were the broccoli slaw. We will come back many more times.

The place was very busy but there was a place to get out of the rain. My party of 4 waited for…read moreabout 25 minutes to be seated. Others were coming in for pickup orders, DoorDash orders, and each was taken care of in turn. My party was seated at a table in the where the noise was greatly reduced and conducive for conversation. We ordered separate dishes, but my wife and I shared a pulled pork and fatty brisket. It was delicious with spicy sauces. My wife does not like spicy sauces so there was more for me. A good price for the amount of meat we received, so a good value for the dollar. We all left satisfied and decided to make a return trip when we could....Just do not know went that would be.

Healthy "fast food" option. I came here to meet a friend and though there is a sit down area, we…read morewere the only customers to utilize it because most were grabbing their poke bowls to go. Luckily, I was able to learn how to order thanks to the nice gentleman in front of me ordering whilst holding a conversation with me. Basically, the set up is a lot like Q-doba. You stand in line, choose your bowl size, choose your proteins and then toppings and sauce. I chose the regular bowl because it had 2 proteins and I just couldn't decide between spicy salmon and spicy tuna. My bowl was delicious! I was impressed with the amount of rice options, the quality of the poke, and the copious amounts of toppings and sauces to choose from. This place was fine for a lunch date where I met up with a friend I hadn't seen in 20+ years. Everything was delicious, though the milk tea with boba was a little too sweet for my taste. Overall, excellent lunch option, albeit a tad expensive for "fast food." My milk tea and regular poke bowl came up to over $22. Certainly worth it, but not a daily go to option on my budget. Def check out poke toki if you're in the area. The food is better than the pun this restaurant is named after. Now turn yourself about, and do the Poke Toki!

Everything was so fresh and delicious with SO many amazing options to add to your bowl. The mini bowl was PLENTY for a lunch, I'm glad I didn't get the next size up. Very clean and peaceful ambience.

SongBird is a local pop up that I try to catch when I can. Most recently they popped up at Sparrows…read morefor breakfast sandwiches, so Nate and I got a coffee at the shop and ordered one of each of the menu - a sausage breakfast sandwich, a bacon breakfast sandwich, and a dark chocolate chip cookie. Chef Daren set up on the patio at Sparrows with a flat top and brought our food to us when it was ready. The sandwiches were super hot and fresh, and so delicious. I love a good breakfast sandwich and this is one of the best. The cheese was melty and gooey, and the bacon was great quality and thick cut. The sausage sandwich had a bit of sweetness and the housemade sausage was garlicky and delicious. Keep an eye on SongBird's social media for their schedule - sometimes he does popup dinner events which I would love to check out.

Another social media win! I'd seen Da Boils on Facebook and was trying to catch them at a pop-up…read moresince they don't have a physical restaurant location. They were at the BIPOC Night Market at Fulton Street Farmers Market so I decided to try the Low Tide boil, with 1/2 pound snow crab and 1/2 pound shrimp. Also included were some potatoes and two chunks of corn on the cob - you can also add sausage, egg, and more potatoes or corn. I haven't been to any of the seafood boil restaurants in town yet but I think Da Boils' prices are pretty similar. The Low Tide was $34.99 and they dropped it in fresh after I ordered. It took about 10-15 minutes but it was worth the wait. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and easy to peel, and the seasoning was definitely on point and I loved the flavor. I didn't think it was too super salty and the medium level spice wasn't really spicy, I might go up a level next time. The crab was easy to get out of the shell. It's definitely messy and you don't get the bibs or gloves you might get at a sit down spot, but I didn't really care. You just have to go with it and know you'll be messy! I loved this boil and would definitely order from Da Boils again. I've seen them post other items like lobster mac and cheese, which I'd love to try. They also do catering which would make for a great party!
