"The new location will take over the space formerly occupied by Five Seasons Brewery at 3655 Old Milton Parkway, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Loyal Q plans to open on Tuesday, February 20. The barbecue restaurant opened its first location in Marietta last year. The Alpharetta menu will include such dishes as a smoked prime rib, salt-roasted beets, and a portobello sandwich to pair alongside its selection of beer and whiskeys." - Beth McKibben

I go to a LOT of BBQ places and this place has best macaroni & cheese by far. Spicy bbq sauce is PERFECT and won't set your mouth on fire. Brisket (Chopped & Sliced) was very tender. Little seasoning on bark, but tenderness was 10/10. BBQ Pit Baked Beans had chunks of pork in it with diced onions. That was pretty good, I would rather have with beef in it. Overall I'd say this is best BBQ meal I've had from any of the 7 surrounding BBQ places around. Again the macaroni is special.

First time here for the new year, with my husband, daughter, mother in law & my brother. Ella was our server and she did AMAZING!! The other servers were also helpful and attentive. Our food was served right away. We ordered sticky ribs, a pound of brisket , a full rack of ribs, collard greens, green beans and a banana pudding! My brother is vegan and he had the Super Food Bowl, which he enjoyed! Definitely going to go back here especially when we have family who will visit from other states! :) such a nice spot!

We recently visited Loyal Q BBQ, and overall, the experience was enjoyable. I had the Big Game Changer sandwich. It was tasty, and the portion was big, though I wouldn’t say it was the best I’ve had. The Brunswick stew wasn't good at all compared to what I have had before. My friends had the tacos and the brisket. The tacos were okay, but nothing extraordinary. However, the brisket was a hit – my friend really liked it. The potato salad and pickled veggies on the side were good complements to the meal. In summary, Loyal Q BBQ offers decent BBQ with generous portions, especially if you’re a fan of brisket.

The ribs are wonderfully juicy, and the slaw burger is excellent. I’m never disappointed whenever I go, and the service is always friendly.

This is the best BBQ, not just in the area but certainly in the state that I've had thus far. Whoever does the meats here knows what they are doing 100%. The smokiness and tenderness of the pulled pork and brisket that I had here was master class 100%. I was actually very surprised at how good it was. The food and service was stellar and the overall experience couldn't have been better. I felt like I needed to grab someone by the shoulders and congratulate them on having such an awesome BBQ joint. This, plus the drinks made it a slam dunk. Bravo to this restaurant, I'm so glad I found you. Whatever you're doing, keep it up.

We ordered the two most expensive entrees. I wanted to try all they had to offer and have leftovers since my kitchen is under renovation. Dry, dry, dry and dry. What was I thinking? Sliced chicken breast and sliced turkey breast. Even smothered in sauce it was inedible. DJ, our server, was great but he can’t control what the kitchen sends out. The dogs got the leftovers 😢. $179 for two !!

Delicious BBQ restaurant in Alpharetta! Fast and friendly service! We loved their assortment of BBQ sauces (our favorite was the mustard one!), pulled pork was delicious, brisket sandwich was amazing, Mac and cheese was a huge hit and we ended with the apple cobbler and ice cream. Everything was fantastic. It was our first time dining here but it definitely won’t be our last. We’ll be back soon!

This place is amazing, and I'm a for real barbeque snob. I make all the usuals on my smoker, and so many places that you think would be good, should be good, that you want to be good, are actually not good, and might have dry meat, rely on sauce, or even reheat meat poorly. This place was an honest and solid bbq joint and everything I had was great, pork, brisket, and ribs. I'm so glad we found this place. The beer selection is good, sufficient and crafty, though not too large, but enough interesting choices to be happy. Definitely going back, you should too!

Hubby and I stopped in here on our way to a comedy show at a comedy club nearby. I found it on Yelp and the reviews seemed good, so we decided to give it a shot. We were a little short on time but service was quick and efficient, so we had no issues with enjoying our meal and still making it to the show on time. The service was great and so was the food. We ordered a pound of brisket, fries, potato salad, mac and cheese, and cole slaw. We don't typically get dessert, especially if we are in a hurry, but since we were good on time and I had seen pictures of it online that looked yummy, we ordered and shared the banana pudding. It did not disappoint! Everything was delicious. The brisket was as perfect as could be. We opted for the marbled kind, so it had just the right amount of fatty goodness and it was so soft, it just melted in your mouth. The potato salad was my least favorite side as it had more of a mustard base that I did not really care for, but all the other sides were really good. I typically don't like cornbread, but the cornbread muffins from here were amazing. The location is not super convenient to our house but we liked it enough that we would likely go out of our way to return.

We were in the area and wanted bbq this was definitely a good choice. I created my own platter: brisket, pulled pork and turkey with coleslaw. Let me tell you that turkey was where it was at. The brisket and pork were good but not as good as the turkey. It wasn't dry and had soo much flavor. There were a few bbq sauces on the table. I thought they were ok but needed to be thicker. My friend got the wings. He was not happy with them. They were over cooked ... very tough. Our waitress was great. We came in about an hour from closing and she treated us like we had hours to go. Didn't rush us and always made sure we were good.

Met with the girls from work for a coworkers "wish you well in your new opportunity" dinner. Food - first rate. Service- stellar, great space for a large party or a small group, banks of tvs to catch the hottest game. Lots of menu options, from large platters of BBQ, ribs, brisket pulled pork the works with traditional sides with a twist - to tempting snacks with great drinks from the bar or locally crafted beers, salads and bowls! Plentiful choices of BBQ sauces to try! Staff was particularly helpful to sort out a discrepancy on the bill. Parking is easy, with outdoor seating in nice weather.

We've come here for years and years and the menu has changed but it's still very good! I've had a number of different entrees including the Philly cheesesteak and a couple of their salads with my choice of meat on top. I'd highly recommend starting with a couple of cornbread muffins as they are delicious! The service was also great! Our waitress recommended trying one of each taco and I enjoyed all of them. The meal came with one pulled pork taco, one pulled chicken taco, and one Brisket taco. All had slightly different toppings but all very good!! It even came with a side of choice. I chose the green beans which were real and fresh unlike other bbq restaurants. Two things to note for improvements is to bring back the side of pimento cheese Mac and cheese! It was unique and delicious but no longer on the menu. Also, the bathrooms used to be really nice but they desperately need a deep clean of the floors, sinks, and mirrors. Easy fix there! There's huge TVs everywhere to enjoy your sport of choice. This restaurant is more than your average tavern or bar. It's a delicious bbq restaurant with the TVs of a tavern or bar. I definitely recommend giving it a try!!

Beautiful ambience! Restaurants built like a big barn and smells great as you walk in, very clean and everything's organized, even as we came in an hour before close. Our server was delightful and friendly, the sauces were pretty good, not the best I've ever had and probably not the best you'll have had but it's not bad. Now for the food, -Brisket platter (1/2 lb) $14 Very tender but not very flavorful, I'm sure it'll be a great takeout meal but not the best. Price is good for half a pound though so you're getting what you paid for, I'd say a 4/10 imo -Mac & Cheese (Side) $4 $4 for what the server describes as a big ice cream scoops worth of mac and cheese made me sure to set my expectations low but you won't believe it! I was disappointed anyway. Dry, flavorless Mac and cheese that was kinda cold, portion to me was small for $4, probably above Kraft in quality maybe but unfortunately not in taste. -Texas Toast (Side) $ Free Came with the brisket, was amazing! They gotta add more than one though, my friend ordered a pound of brisket and I know my piece ran out after one slide so idk how he managed. Very flavorful and complemented the brisket very nicely, would go great with a meat with flavor for sure. 8/10 very solid but they don't give enough! -Sweet Tea (Drink) ~$3 but I honestly don't know Wouldn't normally review a drink but they ran out of sugar and our server made some herself instead of just telling me they ran out of sweet tea! That's super awesome I wouldn't have even known had I not tasted it and felt it warm a little but she ended up telling me what she did and I thought that was super cool. 10/10 they really do put in effort I don't want to exclude that. Again our server and another employee who was cleaning helped up get some

Best bbq I've had in awhile! I was pleasantly surprised as I was just stopping in after a doctor's appt. The good: moist and not fatty pulled pork and brisket. Excellent sauces (mustard, vinegar, ketchup, and spicy). Underrated cornbread muffin and delicious pickles! The could use work: I felt the taste of the Brunswick stew was good but am pretty particular on my stew and felt it didn't quite meet the consistency that I would prefer. Mac and cheese was good not great (didn't need all that anyways with the amount of food I got), but I found that a lot of the cheese was on the bottom, so I flipped it over to get to the good part. I also ordered banana pudding and while the taste was there, the consistency was a bit runnier than one would typically expect and the nilla wafers were just on top instead of soaking in the pudding. Just my 2 cents but overall I really enjoyed the quality of the meat and would come again!

Amazing place. It is very clean, and friendly. While it was busy, they still have people cleaning and helping. My server William O., did an amazing job. Helped me pick a beer, that was exactly what I was looking for. A beer that wasn't too heavy. Creature comforts classic city. Hit the spot. Ordered the 3 meat platter, with lean brisket, smoked chicken breast, and smoked turkey. The sides were pit beans, fries, and cornbread. There was also seasoned pickles on the platter. I couldn't even dent the plate. For the price this was a lot of food. The flavor of the meats was great, I haven't been to a place that was this good/cheap/ and filling. If I'm ever back in the area I will definitely be coming here again.

You can never go wrong here! My favorite is the brisket sandwich with coleslaw its so good! Its always clean and service is always good!

Hands down the best brisket in Atlanta. I travel a lot for work in Texas and would put this brisket up against some of the top tier Texas BBQ joints. If you are a ranch lover they also have the old school Taco Mac ranch. Great selection of beers. The only room for improvement I could recommend is on the service side. It's hit or miss each time we come in everyone is nice but we seem to get forgotten a lot.

Today is my birthday my son and I came here to celebrate! Upon seating the manager greeted us, wished me a Happy Birthday and made our first shot! You have to try the Barstool here...it is sooo good! The service and staff are amazing here! Anuj made me a lemon drop and suggested some great food choices that we tried! The ribs are to die for! This place is worth visiting!!

The quality and quantity of the food is higher than my previous favorite, Smokejack. The price is also more reasonable.

Lafe D.

Yelp
Cool building & ambiance. Service was top notch. I thought the fatty brisket was pretty good, the lean however was super dried out and needed tons of sauce, which basically eliminated any smoke flavor. The sausage was pretty good and had great flavor. The ribs were just OK, very little smoke ring and were just basic. The back booths by the patio must be too close to the bathroom because I kept smelling urine during lunch, which was rather off-putting.

Why is there not a 6-Star option?? Why was this place not WAY busier than they were on a BEAUTIFUL Fri night? No pics from me, was with friends & hubby- literally relaxed on the SUPER cute patio. You guys, I am so thankful my friend suggested Loyal Q & Brew. None of us had ever been here. loyalq.com in Milton, GA. Our server was AMAZING, helpful, funny, gave suggestions, shared some history about the place, attentive too. The GM stopped by to say hi & we had a great conversation with him as well. They never felt intrusive or over-checked. My FAVORITE (besides everything else) is that they cleared the trash & empty dishes right away! My BIGGEST peeve with servers is when they don't clear... geez, hospitality 101!! The food: We got the smoked wings as an appetizer). Oh my GOSH! Plump, juicy, smoky- add some delicious sauce! Seriously great!! I ordered the smaller burger, Wood Flame. If you are hungry, maybe don't get this. It was PERFECT for me b/c I wasn't starving. I had a side salad that was an actual option & no upcharge. The ranch- Wow!!! The actual cheese was melted perfectly & penty of it, 2 patties too- just terrific! Hubby & our friend got the Philly Brisket Sandwich. They smacked down!!! My other friend got a brisket plate & they all said best brisket they have ever had!!!! Beer was outstanding too. A great selection, COLD & refreshing! We all will be back! You ALL need to go experience for yourself. Do not let it go down- keep these folks in business. I need this restaurant in my life. Keep them busy & enjoy as I know you will. The pics on line are spot-on. Grab a napkin to wipe your drool... go check them out!!!

Food was great; esp the pulled port and pit baked beans. All delivered by a very nice server.

First time here so I didn't know what to expect. Food was good, came out super fast! I ordered a "pick two" platter and it was supposed to be $19, with brisket being $1.75 up charge. I picked brisket and ribs, which was supposed to be 1/3 portion each, that comes with a side. The server asked me what size portion I wanted but again, I pointed at the "pick two" that clearly said "1/3" and she said "yes, but what portion" ..... so I just said "smallest?" Anyway, my bill came out $27 for the platter.. I didn't want to cause a scene because for several interactions with the server, we didn't seem to be on the same page. I gave her cash (1-$20, 2-$10) and told her "I'll need change back" instead of giving me just my change, she gives me 1-$20, 1-$10, 1-$5, 5-$1. This part wasn't a big deal at all. But just an example of not really understanding each other.

Ordered ribs to go and perhaps it was an off night but they were horrible. First off, the were completely encased in pepper corns that took away from any other flavors. Who wants a mouth full of pepper? They were the opposite of 'fall-off-the-bone' ribs strive for and it felt like these were just baked in the oven. None of the BBQ flavor coated in the outside penetrated the meat which is the goal of slow cooked ribs. Also interesting, the side of corn bread was watery and lacking flavor. I could buy a grocery store mix that would be much better. I expected better given the reviews here, and again, this could be a one night miss. There's a lot of competition for BBQ in this market and these were disappointing.

**This review is really 2.5 stars** Visited one Saturday evening and my experience was...so-so. Fairly large space and the aroma in the parking lot was great! But...man, I feel like things just kept falling short during dinner. Our waitress seemed new, but I don't think she was because she was able to give recommendations when we asked. The place wasn't very crowded, but she wasn't attentive and seemed distracted. Then we kept having to ask other waitresses for assistance... We had the brisket nachos which tasted delicious BUT they came out kind of coldish even though the cheese was melty. The cheese does harden fast so you have to eat them quickly... For the entree, I ordered the chicken Philly and had the SAME problem. The sandwich seemed coldish and honestly, it was one of the worst chicken Philly's I've ever had. The chicken was not flavorful at all. I also did not enjoy the fries. They have a slight sweet taste... I would come back for the nachos, AND request they come hot.

First time visiting Ga and wanted bbq Wow , what a great place . Good of bbq was the best ever . Had platter of brisket , chicken and the side of Mac cheese was the best ever . Cornbread was so good too Great place and great service too . Wish they had this place in California

I love this place! Amazing ribs cooked perfectly and so flavorful. Have gotten them many times and they are consistently amazing. Pulled pork with their bbq sauce is my next favorite! Love their Mac and cheese as well as their green beans. Have mostly gotten to go from here but ate in person with my bf last weekend and the service was great! We got the platter to try everything since we usually get the ribs to go and everything was great but like I said the pulled pork was the favorite next to the ribs. For the price I think this place is great. My favorite bbq spot nearby by far. They have some pretty good cocktails as well if you are dining in! Lots of tv's inside so you always have something to look at though imo it's a little too many tv's.

Food was good.. nothing to write home about, but good. Bourbon sale ton was not what it was purported to be.. quite disappointing with lack of variety. Ambiance was sorely lacking. Won't be back. Sorry... on the bright side--staff was great !

We weren't a fan of this place. Mainly the bar b que. The smoked chicken and pulled pork had a good flavor but was so dry, we had to drowned it in sauce. I will say portions are huge and seevice was great.

Brisket Tacos - outstanding. Extremely tender and flavorful. A bit on the spendy side but otherwise very good. Burgers - well done and a bit bland for my liking Good French fries- homemade and plenty of them Been here a few times. Service varies by the visit. Sometimes good and other times just ok. Have not had bad service but definitely varies by the visit

Yelp
I feel like my picture speaks for itself. The platters are the way to go - especially when you're dining with more than 2 people. We had the 4 meat platter, ribs, wings. The ribs were great and I'm a big fan of the brisket/pulled pork. You can't go wrong with any of the meats. Not pictured is the Mac and cheese which was so good. Our server was kind and attentive. We sat outside but they also have a really large inside area with tables and a bar. The best part about this place is that they have a sun room type area with shuffleboard games and a bunch of tvs. We come here to watch football on the weekends! It's the perfect spot. Definitely check it out.

Wow this place is a gem !! Service was attentive, food came out super quick and everything was so delicious. I got a pulled pork sandwich and they don't skimp on the meats. Plus a side salad. It was fresh and crisp, the ranch is housemade. Yum !!! The hot dog for a kids meal was big and you get a side. Omg the corn muffins !!! So good lol I'm telling you, everything here we tried, we love. And don't forget the banana pudding. Theirs isn't overly sweet and just the perfect amount to share for two adults after all of that food. You will get the itis but you're belly will love you

Andrew R.

Yelp
Smoked Sausage & Cheddar cheese appetizer was great. Meat Combo with Half a rack of St. Louis Style Ribs (COOKED CORRECTLY) And smoked Turkey, and Collard greens! YUM! But it was the service that knocked my socks off! Who expects well trained and coordinated Hosts, Servers and Bartenders at a BBQ Joint! Everyone was working together happily to make my visit a wonderful experience! Oh, and this place is HUGE! With separate rooms for large parties!

The food was pretty good! I had the burger, Wood Flame Burger, and also the Superfoods bowl to go. My date had the 3 meat platter that comes with 2 sides, your choice. The service was so nice and the food came fast. Ambiance was very chill and nice. There was multiple tvs, showing different entertainments, from tennis to funny short video clips; there was booth seats too. Overall, very nice and not too expensive.

Amazing bbq and fun place to watch sports. Personal favorites are the ribs and brisket nachos! Best bbq in metro atlanta in my opinion.

Ashley K.

Came to this spot for lunch and left satisfied. FOOD: 3 meat combo platter ($24.95) - Got the lean/fat brisket, turkey breast, and sausage with garlic potato salad and pimento mac and cheese. The brisket had a great smoky taste and paired well with the house bbq sauce. I was a bit worried that the turkey breast would be dry since it was on the thicker side, but it was tender and juicy. The sausage was also great, not too salty. The sides were good, pretty average. The cornbread was amazing, had the texture of a muffin more than regular cornbread. Initially thought the portions were a bit small for the price, but left pretty stuffed.

If you believe that the best barbecue is usually found in the worse part of the city, in a place with bars on the windows and just enough grease on the table to write your initials, then this isn't it. What this is, is a sort of combination sports bar with a lot of televisions and loud music, that is also a brewery and as well as a restaurant that has barbecue. What it is LoyalQ and Brew on old Milton highway in suburban Alpharetta. What it is, is a spic and span second effort to prove a concept that fell short in Marietta can succeed. If our experience is any indicator, it's going to be an uphill climb. If you check out their web site, you probably can hardly wait to get there. The photos show brisket at perfection. Mouth-watering, moist, good deep bark and textured; you can almost smell the hickory. With high hopes, the Brown Shoe Gourmet ordered Loyal's two meat (pulled pork and chopped brisket) platter with two sides ($22.95). The request to the waiter was simple, please leave the fat on the brisket, that's where the flavor is. Ditto the pulled pork. The pulled pork came as requested. Excellent. Delicious bits of bark, full flavored pork, a light hickory flavor that tasted even better with a couple of their five sauces: the house (tomato and light vinegar), and their vinegar sauce, as good as most you'd find in Carolina. The brisket was served in cubes that could have been cut from shoe leather. Not a quarter ounce of moisture in the plentiful serving. Taste? None regardless which of their five sauces was tried. Sides? A mayo based slaw served in good quantity but nothing really different than you'd get most everywhere else. The menu said "hand-cut" fries. Which I am sure they were, but they were nearing rigor mortis when they got to the table. As someone who really enjoys good barbecue, this was a big time disappointment. Almost as disappointing was the lack of service. In fact, the only way we could get a server's attention, after too many times trying, was to get up and find him back by the kitchen. Lunch for two at LoyalQ topped $50. It would seem at that price point, a visit to the customer's table for something other than to leave the bill would be part of the deal. Ultimately a gentleman named Austin, whose title he explained was "house manager" came to the table and seemed almost embarrassed at the brisket his kitchen had served and not too pleased about the fries also short of what he thought the way they should be served. For a place that pushes price points to their upper limits ($37.95 for a rack of ribs and just one side) service and quality should be a given. Yes, Austin did replace the items he recognized as being subpar - but that was maybe 20 minutes after lunch was first served. We (there were two of us) wondered how many people either didn't say anything, couldn't find their waiter to complain and just decided one visit was enough. They weren't going to be loyal to this Q. For a guy who has spent a lifetime in pursuit of the perfect barbecue (read my more than 125 barbecue reviews from across the country on Yelp), I have a problem when eager entrepreneurs try to marry a Yuppie Sports Bar and a Barbecue joint in hopes of attracting enthusiastic (and loyal) customers from both. Two stars and only two because the House Manager apologized and then did is best to make things right

I've now been here three times visiting the area from Las Vegas. This is some of the BEST BBQ you will eat! The meats are smoked to perfection and the sides are on point! And the banana pudding to top it off is the perfect ending! HIGHLY recommend Local Q!!!

Food is always on point! Great location, huge open restaurant, lots of tv's and an open game room, outside patio... Grace does an excellent job at the bar with big variety of draft beers and good bourbon selection!

Yelp
Pros: The ribs, chicken, and pulled pork were fantastic. Restaurant is clean and comfortable Staff was friendly and helpful The Blood Orange Blind Pirate beer Cons: It is NOT a brewery. We enjoy trying locally brewed beers and that was reason for visit. Felt a bit misleading. The Brisket was barely warm, dry and chewy. I was lean vs marbled. but I've had tender, moist, lean brisket. We didn't realize it till end of meal when we saw that 12 year old wouldn't eat it We should have asked our server (who was great) about it, but we didn't notice till end of our meal. My bad. Knowing the server he would have made it right. Except for the brisket & beer I'd have rated it 5 stars.

Esther C.

Yelp
If I can give it a 0/5 I would. Just saying. Ordered food through Yelp for delivery on our food. Our banana pudding was gross, sour, the pudding consistency was trash. It looked and tasted Like the packaged pudding mix wasn't mixed all the way through. We also ordered 2 2 meat platters. Meat was mid. Quantity was so little for the price I paid. The side of coleslaw also tasted sour too. The chili that I paid an extra dollar for tasted burnt too. So question.. did the chef change or something? Won't be ordering to go ever again. ‍

This BBQ spot is really good but a bit out of the way for me so I don't go often. I did, however, get a chance to order in some food for lunch the other day. I have to comment on the nachos. The menu indicated "deconstructed" but wasn't sure what that meant. When I received it, it was essentially a nacho kit. The brisket and toppings are all sent in separate containers. I got out a sheet pan, set the oven to broil, and assembled everything together. It tasted so good. This is how you pivot to delivery orders. Loved it.

Charae M.

Food was terrible. Mac and cheese was didn't have any cheese. Brisket tasted like it was infused with gas. Despite that the service was great!

LaShonda H.

Yelp
This is a low key BBQ spot but it has potential. Huge space with a ton of TVs so feel free to come with a group. They have patio seating as well. I decided to grab a seat at the wrap around bar and tried the peach margarita. Very tasty. I also ordered the chopped chicken sandwich (added coleslaw) and macaroni and cheese. The food came out lightning fast! And it was good. I wish it had a bit more of that charred BBQ flavor but the chicken was tender and juicy. I smothered it in the spicy sauce which wasn't too spicy. The mac and cheese was good once I got down to the middle of it. I'm already planning that this is my go to place when I'm in Alpharetta.

Meaty ribs, tasty brisket , fresh sides - a great find. We Just stumbled onto this on the way to an appointment -and I'm so glad we did. They even have a front porch with tables so people can enjoy the beautiful Georgia weather while they munch on good southern food. Food : 5/5 In my BBQ restaurant category!, this was a 5 star restaurant. (Not haute cuisine, but comparing BBQ places). The meat plates had hearty helpings of meat -the brisket isn't dry and the ribs are very meaty. I'm picky about BBQ sauces so I asked for mine to be on the side. I need not have bothered, because the ribs themselves had a great dry rub and didn't even need a sauce. They do have several sauces to choose from. Although I don't usually like potato salad with a mustard base, their potato salad was very good. We were pleased with all the other sides that the group ordered. I really liked the coleslaw-it was fresh and sweet, and not too heavy with onions or other flavors, and none of those little celery seeds or other seeds that get stuck in your teeth. My friend liked the baked beans. The chili side is a bowl full and comes with cheese, sour cream, and green onion toppings. Service: 5/5. The greeter/server was cheery and polite. Our food was ready surprisingly quickly-just minutes until it was ready for us to eat. We were not there at a lunch or dinner rush hour, but the food was still ready more quickly than one would usually expect. Location 5/5. On a major road, near lots of other restaurants and businesses. Adequate parking lot-some shady spots. Facility 4/5. The usual casual way of bbq places - but more points for making the effort to have outdoor tables when lots of people are still trying to social distance and eat outside.

Madi, Eddie, Stevie, Carlos, took amazing care of us. Oh my gosh! How to begin... so the ambiance is great! So good I wanted to write my review before even leaving today. The music is fun, they have a full bar and the food is soooo good. That seems an understatement! I got a REAL craft smoked Old Fashioned - done right!! W/ craft ice! My Hubby got the brisket - melt in your mouth!! I love a good burger, so after much deliberation I ordered the burger - AMAZING! I love chili and fries. So a side of chili with such good fries w/ mustard. Their mustard must be homemade. Even that was good. I venture to say - "The food was orgasmically good!" Haha.
