"Embers Smokehouse and Tap in Chalfont offers a generous barbecue roster along with sensational side selections, such as the creamy mac and cheese. You can order this cheesy pasta as a meat platter accompaniment or make it a complete meal by ordering the Warm Hug, a macaroni and cheese entree with crumbled bacon and your choice of pulled chicken or Carolina pulled pork — brisket fans can add this meat for an additional charge." - Kristen Kwiatkowski

Great experience here at Embers Smokehouse and Tap. Visited solo during a trip to the area on a Tuesday night at around 6pm. It was fairly empty with lots of seats available at the bar and seated tables. There are tasting Tuesdays where they offer some interesting creations based on an ingredient...this Tuesday in particular, was pastrami...which I was all for. They pair this with a flight of beer. There was a pastrami spring roll and a slider, both of which were excellent. I also could not leave without trying the brisket...and although it was a bit on the dry side, it was still good. I got a side of mac and cheese which was amazing...some of the best I've had. They also offered a variety of sauces...some of which were very good. I would love to return to try some of their other food options. All staff i encountered there were friendly, patient and efficient. There is a large shared parking lot with adequate spaces.

I’ve been coming here since they opened.. just had brunch last weekend it was great. I was surprised by the breakfast tacos.. usually I feel like sometimes things are too heavy in the morning but this was great.. flavor profile was nice and the ingredients fit well. The French toast had a nice twist with the strawberries and cream. My dad loved the smash burger. Little bit of kick but the flavors work well. My mom loved the cornbread and honey butter.

First time visit, recommended by family members. We traveled from NJ because we heard the corn bread is amazing ... Best corn bread I've had in my life! I didn't get to really appreciate it cause we ordered the Ember's Feast and had quite a lot to try. For 4 adults who consider themselves foodies, we had a lot of food leftover that we packed up to go. Everything tasted good. I especially liked the pork belly. Brisket poutine fries good. I liked the flavor of the freshly made BBQ chips too. I'm not a drinker but I had a sip of the Emberita and it was tasty. Corn bread for the win though! All in all, great dining experience. The service was wonderful, and we'd definitely go back again if we're in town.

This was our first time here and the place was PACKED on a Saturday night. The staff handled everything so well, everyone worked together and food & drinks were running so smoothly! Honestly great staff, especially the bartender and the food is incredible!! Can’t say a single bad thing about our experience! Highly recommend! We are definitely coming back

Always great food when we come in! I like that it never gets loud during week nights! Also their fries are fantastic, we have to get them every time.

Had an early dinner with the family after visiting Fonthill Castle. Found Embers through a Yelp search, not a far drive from the castle so go if you're visiting since their menu is a unique blend of traditional BBQ. The location, food and service was great! Our waitress was very attentive, informed us of the specials on the menu and took good care of the kids menu requests ☺️. I don't get pics of all our meals but I had the smoked wings, deviled eggs and brussel sprouts. They have fun names for all their dishes . I enjoyed the special sauces for each meal making it unique from similar dishes at other restaurants here in the DC area. My mom had the OG pulled pork sandwich. It was huge and beautifully grilled bun and homemade chips. The kids got the kids cheeseburger meal with fries. We got dessert to go, the cheesecake and bread pudding with an American sundae spin.

Alisha LIED. You all ruined my Super bowl. Door dash can’t find a driver so I drive 20 minutes to your store and you close before 6 on superbowl Sunday after I spend $100 dollars on wings and pulled pork. Alisha said I could call back when she told me the order want picked up yet and when I tried to no one picked up the phone I called multiple times. I get here and you’re closed. I left multiple voicemails saying I was on my way and now the refund is taking 5-7 business days to get back to me. This is absolutely terrible business practices. I guess I’ll bring cheese and crackers to my mother in laws house even though I paid for this the day before in advance. I will never order from you all again. You’re selfish and inconsiderate. You don’t care about your customers and I’ve never been so disappointed in a restaurant in my life. and your website says open until 8pm. No communication. No updated hours. Terrible, terrible, terrible.

I don’t think I could fit another bite of food in my stomach even if I wanted to! Embers was fantastic - I highly recommend the weekly appetizer tasting!

Another great experience at Embers! Brought along first timers and they agreed, spot on service-Charlotte helped us last night. She was fantastic! We all tried something different-the corn spoon bread was a hit , very unique and mashed sweet potatoes were so tasty. You get an abundance of food and ended up taking some home. The beers were good and cold and paired well with the smoked meats. The brisket sandwich with Aioli and fried onions had so many different flavors going on. Delicious! Very busy Friday night at Embers ! Will be back to try something new! Wonderful , delicious food! Fun night celebrating a birthday!

We randomly chose this spot during a family outing, and it exceeded our expectations. The service was excellent, and the food was top-notch. The restaurant was quiet when we arrived, with plenty of tables and a bar that seats about 20. A great music playlist added to the relaxed atmosphere. The menu is packed with BBQ sandwiches, apps, and sides, all of which looked delicious. I had the special burger with charred pineapple, pork, and slaw--an amazing combo. My girlfriend's chicken sandwich was one of the best she's ever had. Be warned--the BBQ chips are addictively good! Our waitress was kind and welcoming, making our meal even more enjoyable. If this place opens in Cherry Hill, NJ, it'll be a hit for sure!

From the moment you walk in, you are warmly greeted and made to feel welcome. As a southern girl (Carolina) I was craving burnt ends. A coworker told me about this place and it did NOT disappoint! Do yourself a favor and go grab the best burnt ends this side of the Mason Dixon line! Plus they have great craft beer! It's a win, win, WIN! Cor me happy!

It's a small spot with excellent food. The staff were nice and attentive, everyone was friendly and they give a very hearty meal on a cold day. Will definitely be back!

I was in the mood for bbq so ended up here. We love everything on the menu. So many things to try. It's nice that they also have a bar with a good selection of drinks. We like the echo porter. Everything we ordered was tasty and flavorfull. We really like the 3x3 sandwich and the calamari. The tomato soup that comes with the sandwich is excellent. The service was friendly. It's a nice space. We will differently be back to try other things. Definitely recommend coming here.

We love this place and it's become a regular haunt. The food and beverages are fantastic. My family has wildly different preferences yet there's something on the menu for everyone in my family to enjoy. My personal favorite is the Flex salad with crispy chickpeas. Highly recommend this spot!

This is one of the BEST places me and my husband have come to eat at!! It was so amazing we came back twice. We love the family dynamic and we also loved meeting the family that works here. We tried multiple dishes and they all taste amazing and we recommend everything on the menu!! Whenever we come back to visit from Georgia, it's a must we come to eat here again.

They should move to a larger place. Waitresses are beautiful and very amendable. We went here for my son's birthday and our anniversary.

Outstanding ribs as they were very tender and " sauced lightly," maybe the best I ever had. My wife had the brisket sandwich + and it was equally as good. Service was excellent!

Nice neighborhood BBQ find! Wanted to have dinner w/my son and he recommended this place. Can I just just say right off the bat you need to order the smashed sweet potato!!! OMGggg this came w/some of the best bacon aka pork belly bits! I could've done without the maple syrup but now I know for next time!! Soooo good I ordered the pulled pork/brisket and he ordered pulled pork/pork belly. We both really enjoyed it plus the cornbread. Who does t like cornbread and this one didn't disappoint. I'd be remiss to say that these were great portions though you do pay extra for the brisket - worth it! My only side note is that the piece closer to the end of the brisket was quite salty. All in all great meal and will definitely be back!

Was up in the area on business and decided to stop in for dinner with my colleagues. I'm glad I did. The restaurant is tucked away in a strip shopping center and was easy to find. It was clean and lively and we were seated quickly. We ordered appetizers and a couple of different entrees. The brisket was juicy and tender and incredibly flavorful. If you are in the area, stop in and try it. You won't regret it.

This restaurant has the word "tap" in its name, so you would think they would have a beer menu to hand out or have the beers listed somewhere, right? Wrong! They don't have anything to show for their drinks besides their cocktails. There's no beer menu on their website either. Very weird. The food took *forever* to come. The calamari tasted good but needed more Honey Chili Lime Aioli. The Asian BBQ Salmon was great and my entire family loved the Mac & Cheese! Two members of my family ordered sandwiches, I believe The OG and A Cut Above. Those two same family members have terrible stomach pains and you know the rest, I was fine. I ordered a s'mores brownie to go and OMG! It was sooo scrumptious! I wish I remembered our waitress because she was great. Very friendly, patient, and welcoming! If you're reading this, you're the one who had the Stranger Things Christmas sweater on with one lightbulb working! Lol. Keep up the great work! :)

My husband and I stumbled upon this place (it's tucked into a slightly obscure strip mall) on Yelp for a late lunch after our (freezing) one hour walk at Peace Valley Nature Center. He loves smoked meat and BBQ, and he was disappointed with Smokey Bones, so we decided to give it a try. It's typically difficult for me to eat at a restaurant that is not Asian or Mediterranean because I am allergic to dairy, so I was hesitant, but we were pleasantly surprised in every way. It was pretty empty but also 4 pm when r arrived, so we were seated right away. The staff was very friendly, and the menu was not too big which was a good sign. I was able to order the entree of pulled pork (sandwich rolls are brioche) and the mashed sweet potato with a side of brown sugar. My husband ordered the brisket entree with mac n' cheese which also came with cornbread. The portions were a good size for the price, and my husband had more than enough food, especially after eating my cornbread (it contains dairy and smells delicious.) We thought the food was very, very good, high quality ingredients, and a good value for the money. We can easily see this place being packed evenings. The server was great, and I chatted with the bartender on our way out who spoke to the quality of the restaurant and really seemed to love his job. It's easily the best BBQ and smoked food in the area, prob the best we've had in the state. We'll definitely be back soon and highly recommend! My only suggestion would be to offer Kaiser rolls that don't contain dairy, and the sweet potato could have been bigger considering it's such a light side.

Probably my favorite restaurant in Chalfont. The foods great, service is pretty good. Mac And Cheese is great there.

Ordered take out from Embers tonight and it did not disappoint! The fries were a little soft but the taste was still so flavorful- nothing the air fryer couldn't crisp quick. I shared the salmon meal with my toddler and honestly wish we had ordered two. Will definitely be putting embers in our take out rotation here on out.

Pretty sure you can't go wrong if anything you order here. Everything I ordered was delicious! I had the Brussels sprouts and devil eggs as appetizers and I enjoyed both. I don't really eat spicy but I did try the bacon that came with the devil eggs and I was only able to take one bite. Their proteins is so tender and juicy. The ribs were my favorite it's worth the extra $3. The meat just falls off the bones.

Sue S.

Yelp
Very good food & service. Our waitress was so sweet & loves her job!!! Everything we ordered was top notch & great portions. Thai Brussels sprouts are an unexpected item in a barbecue restaurant, but one of my favorite items.

We ordered ribs, brisket and mac and cheese for my son's graduation party. Everything was excellent. Meat was so tender and flavorful. We got many compliments and people asking where the food was from. Bonus that all the meat and sauce we got was gluten free! Thanks so much.

We arrived upon opening around 4 pm and it was empty. It did fill up rather quickly, but after trying everything we did I could see why. We started off with burnt ends for the table & the kids had a popcorn chicken with french fries & a side of mac n cheese (it was a decent size bowl and for $3, can't beat it.) I had gotten the 3 protein meal with the ribs, brisket, & pulled pork and a side of the baked beans. I wasn't a fan of the baked beans, personally. But I did love all the meats and the cornbread. It was so good!! Mystery man got the fried chicken sandwich which was enormous, huge! It is very inexpensive for BBQ which was pleasantly surprising. The food was very good. The service was awesome very friendly.

We went to Embers Friday night. I had the ribs. They were tender and fell off the bone. The corn bread was really good too. My wife had the daily special burger, which was a blend of ground beef and chorizo. It tasted great. Their beer is very good too. Atmosphere is very nice.

Kate M.

Yelp
Absolutely amazing BBQ!!! The dishes are of decent size and every dish we've tried, we haven't been disappointed. The chicken and waffles are amazing, the Mac & Cheese is a must and the app options are all so good it's hard to choose!

Ordered full rack of ribs looked more like a half rack , then they were the worst tasting I ever ate the bones were mushy and meat was fre ezer burnt tasting , took them home for the dog ,,waitress through the bag to put ribs in right in the sauce.

Been meaning to come here for years and finally did. Disappointed that we didn't come earlier! Food is amazing from top to bottom of the menu Highly recommend the brisket, burnt ends, and especially the sweet corn spoon bread. That stuff is too good to be true Servers and owners super friendly. House bbq sauces all very tasty. Classic tap house/bbq furnishings. Very clean and cozy place but the AC was blasting so bring long sleeves! Beer is just ok but I appreciate that they have their own beer recipes. Will be coming back soon for the rotating bread pudding and burger selection

Let me start off by saying I travel the country and have experienced BBQ in Texas, Carolinas, etc, so I think I know a thing or two about good BBQ. Especially smoked meats like brisket, pulled pork, sausages, and all the typical sides the accompany them. Most of the places I visit across the country sell out before noon. People arrive early and wait for hours. With that said, I didn't expect Embers to meet those expectations. Most don't. I am also not just a consumer. I smoke BBQ regularly at home on pellet smokers, offsets, weber smokey mountains, and also on weber kettles. The service experience at Embers was too notch and extremely good. The servers were very prompt to fill drinks, take orders, bring the check, and check in occasionally on how things were. Probably one of the best service experiences I've had near home. Now on to the food. The wings were very good. Seasoned well, smoked perfect and not overcooked. The accompanying sweet chili sauce was also good. My guest and I ordered 3 meats each with sides and a couple beers. The brisket was very tender to the point it was crumbling apart. Seemed more like it had been braised for a very long time as opposed to smoked. There was not a very noticeable bark and the seasoning was just very lite. The pulled pork was similar as it was very wet and lacking any bark and accompanying seasoning. Was more like a crockpot pulled pork than smoked. Pork belly was a little better, but pork belly has a lot of flavor regardless. I was not overly impressed with seasoning again as it was very lite and lacked smoke ring / flavor. The ribs were much of the same, so I won't repeat myself. The baked beans were way to ketchupy and again missing that sticky, smokey, sweetness I was expecting. They were pretty much kidney beans and ketchup. Mac and cheese was OK. Not bad, decent flavor, but nothing to rave about. The cornbread was very flavorful and was probably the best tasting thing we had. If I was to critique the cornbread I'd say it was a little too soft/mushy and fell apart way too easy. The restaurant was clean and tidy. Again, the service was excellent and very attentive. I would think of this as a traditional restaurant with BBQ offerings as the menu is expansive. I just wouldn't rate the core BBQ brisket, pulled pork, ribs, etc very highly. If they lazer focused on these offerings I'm sure they could dial it in. Overall, not a bad place. I was strictly focused on finding the best BBQ in my area. The restaurant was completely full and the service was still great, so I can see why the reviews are so good. The food was good, but just maybe not up to the standards that I am used to. My search continues.

My husband and I have been going to Embers since the first week they opened. The first time we went, we loved the food and knew we would return. On our second visit, Alisha, an owner, greeted us like we were old friends, remembered our names and what table we had been at!! We decided then, this was going to be a regular stop. The service is always good and the staff can't be any more friendly or accommodating. We love the food and look forward to the monthly specials which are always creative. We have never had a bad experience at Embers which is why I am very surprised by the review left by Nick C. My husband and I were at Embers the night that Nick C. is referring to and I don't understand what he saw happening and why he would expect, or demand a discount/refund. A women got up from her table and walked to try to find a trash can. The staff noticed something was happening and quickly attended to the woman and provided a trash can. She leaned over and spit something into it. Apparently, she was choking on something. This happened right next to me-not a few feet away. It was not as disruptive as described as I just casually turned my head when I noticed the staff around her and turned back around as it was over and done with within seconds. I had actually forgotten it happened until a read the review. Nick C and family continued to eat and finish there meal after this happened so it calls into question how disturbed he and his wife were. It is upsetting that someone would try to get something for nothing first by using someone else's misfortune and secondly by grossly exaggerating the circumstances. Alisha and her staff did everything right and the rating was uncalled for.

Fantastic! Ordered takeout and it was hot and fresh. They got all the details of the order right, which I always appreciate. We've had the Gouda Dip, Sinfully Delicious app, 3x3 Grilled Cheese, Baked Beans, Cornbread, and lots of BBQ sauce sides. Everything was delicious, we kept saying "this is SO good!" while chowing down. It was a ton of food, an appetizer, sandwich, and sides were plenty for two people. After living down south I'm happy to finally find a great BBQ joint in the PA area! Can't wait to go back! It's a Gouda Dip - Cheesy, smokey, creamy. Delicious with the apple pieces and pretzel bites. Not a fan of sausage in general so I can't attest to that, but it looked good. Sinfully Delicious - One word, YUM! They really nailed the sweet, spicy, savory combo on this one. I think this is my favorite dish here! Perfectly cooked, slightly spicy bacon (tender inside, crispy outside); tasty classic deviled eggs; and a fantastic, sweet homemade tomato jam. 3x3 Grilled Cheese - SO tasty and filling! Pulled pork, bacon, pork belly, fried tomato, and cheese on challah bread. It also comes with a side of creamy tomato soup topped with a chunk of cornbread. The soup was tasty! We got sides of the BBQ sauces to try with the grilled cheese and all were delicious. Especially loved dipping it into the Honey Heat vinegar sauce, then into the Smokey Sweet sauce for a blast of flavor. Corn Bread - Moist and soft on the inside with a nice crust on top. Side order came with two pieces. It was amazing. Will order extra next time - that's how good it was! Baked Beans - Delicious, hearty bbq sauce with a hint of peppers. Really enjoyed these. Sauce Breakdown: -Smokey Sweet - mild, standard homemade BBQ -Honey Heat - Vinegar based BBQ sauce -Whiskey Frank - Spicy BBQ sauce -Didn't try the Alabama white sauce, maybe next time :) Overall I highly recommend this restaurant!

Went here while visiting Fonthill Castle. Delicious food, large portions, attentive staff. Tucked in a small shopping center but worth the visit if in the area.

Another amazing Sunday lunch at our favorite bbq place. We always start out with the deviled eggs and burnt ends. We tried the wings today, crispy on the outside with a subtle smoky flavor inside. The service is always great, and the restaurant itself is very clean. Looking forward to our next visit.

Our son is a student at DelVal and his friends recommended Embers to him. On a recent visit, he suggested we try it. We went on Sunday at lunch time. Everything the 4 of us had was delicioua. It all arrived hot and beautifully presented. We all took home leftovers which is rare and fought over them the next night! We especially loved the Tater Tot Trash can appetizer, Chicken and Waffles, and Warm Hug. We will return on our next visit to try more! Excellent service and just a welcoming vibe!

I honestly need to give this place another chance and hopefully can give it a 5 star review. Tried this place shortly after they opened and wasn't impressed with the bbq. Ordered full rack and definitely did not get that but a few ribs. Only ordered take out that one time

Melinda M.

Yelp
I'll start with the "downside": the food came out smelling and looking so delicious that I took exactly ZERO photos of it. Bummer, right? (Seriously that's the only one I could think of.) The food is creative, but not over complicated, and as a result the menu is not overwhelming. Each of our plates came out with huge portions and hot, with flavors that paired well with their drink menu. The dining room was full, so we sat at the bar. Our wait time was reasonable, especially given that they were in the midst of their dinner rush. As busy as they were, that did not stop the staff from being friendly and attentive. They checked to ensure we didn't need refills, extra napkins or anything else without us needing to flag them down, which is always a plus. We happened to end up chatting with the owners who were friendly and attentive, despite working their butts off! The hard work they've put into this business shows! Overall, excellent experience! Will be back sooner than later, without hesitation!!!

Alright...apparently I'm going to be "that guy" as I can't see how this place can keep getting five star reviews. I've been to Embers three times, the last time was with our young son and another family with two adolescent kids. The staff is always good, they are polite, efficient and there's minimal mistakes. But I don't go to a restaurant for politeness...I'm there for the food. Everything I've ever ordered from here has been mediocre. The pork belly, sure it's good but it's always over cooked...but it's pork belly so it's kind of hard for it not be good. The brisket, it's cut 1/2" to 3/4" thick...always a sign that it was not cooked properly and there is fear of it falling apart and turning into pot roast (which is exactly what it does when you eat it). The ribs, they're small, cooked well but I swear they're finished in the fryer. The pulled pork, it's tender but not very seasoned. Where's the sauce though...I can't understand why they bring it out in plastic ramekins. Get some bottles and put them on the table so that everyone can get BBQ sauce if they choose. The best thing though about BBQ which I truly feel Embers has missed, is it is food cooked over live fire. Now, I know they have a Southern Pride smoker in their kitchen and they're not smoking over live fire. That's fine, but with BBQ, aside from seasoning and sauce (which varies by pit master), the number one component in flavor is smoke. Southern Pride smokers certainly work to add that much needed smoke to BBQ. Is it as good as a stick burner, not even close, but it can still get the job done. To have BBQ in a restaurant with "Smokehouse" in the name, and to taste absolutely zero smoke should make everyone scratch their head. So, for the locals in this area it's fine and you can see that by the glowing reviews. If you're looking for something you can easily produce in your home oven go for it. If you want a limited bar selection of the same beers from the former tenant of this space and a on premise only wines go for it. They're not bad but nothing great either. Apparently the soda they serve, like their beer, seems just a little bit off in flavor to what it's trying to replicate. Oh, you want a Coke? Well we have some RC in the back and you'll never know the difference...and by the way, I'm fairly certain they were $5 each with no free refills. I don't typically look at the bill in a restaurant, I give my card and move on. But when a Bill for three kids and three adults is $300 in a sub par Chalfont restaurant, I needed to see why.

My first visit to Embers. The restaurant was cozy and inviting. The staff was efficient and friendly. The food was DELICIOUS and reasonably priced, with more-than-sufficient portions. I can't wait to return

Solid BBQ with large portions. We ordered the OG and the pulled pork was delicious. The wings were tasty too. Gave us lots of sauces to try... the only odd thing was the mac-n-cheese was made out of spirals and not very cheesy. The folks here were super nice. Definitely recommend and we'll be back!

Food is very good. The sides are my favorite with the cornbread at the top! Grilled cheese and soup were really good as well.

Great barbecue. Highly recommend the ribs, mac and cheese, brisket ends and corn bread.

Been hearing about Embers for about a year or so now, just never had a chance to venture there. No reason why we waited but I'll tell you now, WE WAITED TOO LONG! The food was exceptional, the drinks were super solid. The best part though was the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff-from the bartender to the chef-everyone was so caring. We'll back soon guaranteed!

Steve S.

Yelp
Small yet cozy restaurant with plenty of parking. Food and service were excellent. my party decided to go with the meat-feast or whatever it was called. It was plenty of food for 4 people with enough to take home. We wouldn't have ordered apps had we known this was what we were ordering. Brisket, pulled pork and ribs were my favorite. All 4 sauces were awesome! Sides and other meats were really good too. I wish there would have been a sausage/chorizo/Kielbasa choice but I'll be back regardless. Golden pilsner and oatmeal stout were also good.

Nicole S.

Yelp
Embers was a delightful surprise. The food was absolutely amazing and I enjoyed my cocktail. Hoping they expand their beer list a bit more, but otherwise everything was great! The prices were very reasonable IMO (& I actually feel like they could/should charge a bit more for their entrees). If you're in the area, definitely check this place out for some great comfort food & bbq!

The food is really good but need more beer options. Only have 4 local brewery beer and all aren't that great

Scott and Alisha continues to exceed expectations. I reached out to Alisha about two days before to provide them a large take-out order. They were very quick and excited to respond. The food came out perfectly. They individually wrapped and labeled and named every single dish. So all my coworkers were able to find their meal and start eating the minute it got to the break room. I truly want to thank you guys for your amazing food and over the top service. All my employees were beyond excited to hear we were doing catering with your business. You guys are fabulous.!!!!!!

I'm glad there is now a decent bbq closer to home. The brisket is massive and it does get dry as it cools but it's still good. Pulled chicken is good too. There's a couple selection of beers, wines and cocktails. Staff was great and check in every so often even with a busy dinner service.

We stopped in on A Thursday night. Not the usual crowd but the food did not disappoint. Sinfully delicious eggs are just as described. Brisket is 100% spot on. No need for fries; the chips are great.

Thank goodness for Embers! There aren't many quality restaurants around Montgomeryville (mainly a bunch of chain restaurants). This was our second visit and first when they had their beer line up available. Beer was really good, but I'll mainly focus on the food and service. I think they get pretty busy, so we went on a Wednesday. Service was awesome, and food came out quick. My wife and I had the brussel sprouts and a 2 protein plate (pulled pork and pork belly). The meat was smoked to perfection and we tried all their sauces. We preferred the vinegar based honey hot (not hot but just tangy enough). The combination of service, food quality, and small business ownership will keep us coming back for more! My picture is really poor because I took it after we devoured 80% of the food!

Authentic barbecue brisket and chicken are always my favorite dishes at Embers. I also always get the deviled eggs as an app. Their homemade chips have a secret recipe that is the best.
