Got the rib plate special. Decent food, huge portions. The wine list had some nice local reds that paired well with the ribs. Fun spot with lots to look at on the walls.

The staff was so friendly and happy to chat about their beers. Really enjoyed learning about the local brews!

Cool dive bar vibe with old beer cans on the ceiling. Good for a casual hangout, they have pool and skee-ball.

The seating is surprisingly comfortable for a BBQ joint, which made the meal really pleasant. The brisket was solid.

Cozy spot with dim lighting, nice for a quiet drink. Had a couple of their cocktails, the old fashioned was solid. A bit on the pricier side, but the vibe was chill.

The smash burger here is fantastic. Cooked over wood fire, it&#39;s got that smoky flavor that really works. I paired it with a local IPA, and the hoppy notes cut through the richness nicely. A solid choice.

Tried the Kansas City Combo. The crown prime beef rib was the star &ndash; super tender and smoky. Brisket was good too, maybe a bit fatty for some. Pork ribs were solid. Just a solid meat plate, nothing fancy.

The prix fixe is a solid lunch deal. Big portions. I&#39;m usually not an olive person, but the lamb dish changed my mind. Maggie&#39;s service was quick and on point. Got me in and out fast.

The live jazz guitar was a nice touch. Waitstaff were friendly and even sang for a birthday at our table.

Busy Friday night, but our server kept things moving. Food still came out hot and well-prepared, which is tough when they&#39;re that full.

Booked a private event here. The BBQ apps were solid - ribs had a nice char, wings were juicy. Loved having the games to ourselves, no waiting around. Good spot for a group hang.

Been coming here for years to watch games. They&#39;ve got TVs everywhere, so you never miss a play. It gets packed during March Madness, but that&#39;s part of the fun. Solid spot for a beer and the game.

Been coming here for years. The burnt ends and brisket combo is always solid, sauce is just right. Cornbread is nice and moist. It&#39;s my go-to order.

Lonnie&#39;s show is so much fun! The tap dancing was a total surprise, and the way he tells stories between songs is perfect for a night out with friends. The whole band has great energy. We were smiling the whole time.

The live band was a nice touch, really livened up the place. Had a decent burger, but the real star was the house red they suggested. It paired surprisingly well. A solid spot for a casual night out with friends.

The bacon-wrapped shrimp from the bar menu was a solid surprise. Way better than your typical bar snack.

Been coming here for years. Their black bean burger is always good, the spicy bloody mary is just right. A solid, reliable spot when you don&#39;t want to think about it.

The staff here is so nice, and the food was really good. It&#39;s a comfortable spot for a relaxed brunch.

If you&#39;re looking for a cool date spot, this place is a great choice! The atmosphere is beautiful, and the live music adds a special touch.

Alex the bartender really knows his stuff. Suggested a cocktail I&#39;d never have ordered, and it was spot on. Even on a packed Friday night, the team kept things moving without feeling rushed.
