Food wasn’t very good. Shrimp was over cooked and so was the steak. Service was decent but the server had zero personality and didn’t seem to want to engage any more than absolutely necessary. Drinks were ok. I probably won’t go back given the high prices and poor food.

For the PNW area this is a pretty good BBQ joint. I am from North Carolina and had a Dallas person on our table and we both agreed the food was pretty good and the real thing. Service was a bit spotty. Our server was nice, but they were not appropriately staffed on a Wednesday. If you are looking for good BBQ at good prices, this is a good place to visit.
