What a diamond in the ruff. This cute little restaurant wowed me on every topic. Gastropub feel. The food flavors and creative with local beer. The sliced beef is perfectly smoked and the bacon on the hamburger was a full slice of bacon that was thick and yummy! This is a must try. There is so much on the menu to choose from.

I don't think i've ever gave a place 5 stars, but this place definitely deserves it. I was driving from TX to KS, and i've had lunch here and it was amazing., i've got the smoked sliced beef with fries and corn and an extra side of fried okra. Everything was tasty. The atmosphere was beautiful and most importantly, the servers were so nice and friendly. Definitely better than most of the bbq places in TX., i'd be eating here, literally, everyday, if they just had beef ribs.
