Super cool vibe! Very speakeasy-adjacent with moody lighting, deep rich colors, and music chill enough that I didn’t have to shout my order like I was at a tractor pull. We grabbed a drink at the downstairs bar first, then headed up to the rooftop patio, which is gorgeous. Tons of shade, perfect weather, and just a great spot.
Trevor was our server, funny, friendly, and totally on it without hovering. His recommendations were spot on, and he somehow convinced us we now need to come back for Fried Chicken Sunday. Service in general was great; everyone was helpful and actually present.
Apply Ever After: basically a very grown-up apple cider. Even my husband, who can detect a thimble of whiskey in a gallon of water, said it wasn’t harsh or whiskey-forward, which feels scientifically impossible but here we are.
Prickly Pear Margarita: light, sweet, and not overly limey. Don’t get the salted rim unless you’re craving a full-on salt lick experience.
The Other Daiquiri: fruity, sweet, and gives big “New Orleans, third hurricane, questionable decisions pending” energy. Loved it.
Cup Green Chile Stew: okay. Stop everything. This is green chile brisket and pork. Never seen that before, and now I want it everywhere. Yeah, it’s a little pricey, but it’s basically a bowl of incredibly tender meat bathing in glorious seasoned grease. Intense, meaty, spicy perfection. Tortillas come out warm and pliable like they’re auditioning for a tortilla calendar. This is a 12/10 must-order situation. I’d come back for this alone.
North Carolina BBQ Sandwich: pulled pork, vinegar slaw, vinegar sauce. Flavor was solid and the sauce had the perfect tang, but the bun desperately needed a toast because it fell apart like it just wasn’t emotionally prepared for this sandwich. Queso fries were exactly what you’d expect: frozen fries and queso politely coexisting.
Pozole: deep red, rich, and just the right amount of greasy, the kind of comforting greasy that fixes you from the inside out. Hominy still had bite, broth was flavorful. No notes.
Overall, this place hits the vibe, the service, and the food. A couple tiny misses but nothing even close to a dealbreaker. Between the cocktails, the rooftop, and that absolutely ridiculous green chile stew, this spot is officially going into our regular rotation. If you’re on the fence, just go, you’ll be glad you did.
