Stopped in for lunch, surprising not crowded at all. The menu has plenty to offer and I went for the make my own. I did not want bread so I had the option no bun. I put everything else on it.  The lettuce was fresh and the grilled onions were good. The burger itself was buried under all the add ons but was cooked perfect and very good. Service was right on and the place is clean. Friendly, good food a bit pricey but worth the stop.

Thank you Yelp for having an Elite event that introduced me to this place. Hands down the best BBQ place. For the price and quality of food you need to go here. Everything is just right from the sides to the meats. Tasty, delicious and makes you want to come back, or just stay and pig out.

This kicked off the New Year just right. Sunday brunch with good friends. Started out perfect $3 mimosa's are we really in the city? Every part of this experience was good. Our waiter was spot on from the moment we sat down. He explained everything in detail as to what we would be eating down to the desert. I started with just small samples before the meat fest began. That is what I came for. No complaints at all everything was delicious. The price and amount of food you can eat is well worth it. It all begins with service and the staff was on top of there game. If your looking for a nice place with good food, service and cost stop here. Best to arrive early for brunch as the place filled up and lines were forming.

From the moment we walked in you just had a feeling this was going to be good. The wait was an hour at least so we went to the bar. We were welcomed right away and got our drinks with in no time. The atmosphere felt very comfortable and inviting. We decided to order an appetizer, I went for the crab cakes. Good choice they were delicious and had a bit of a kick. The gal taking care of us at the bar was friendly and on the spot. She said we were welcome to sit at the bar for dinner. This was you can watch the game and have dinner. So we ordered dinner. I went for the Chilean Sea Bass. It was pan seared with a brandy garlic crust, just delicious. One of the best I have had. Also was served with fresh sauteed vegetables and a side Cobb salad. No complaints just a excellent meal. Service was perfect and the food is good, well worth the drive. I will return.

DC's Country Junction

If your a fan of Country music and want to line dance all night long then this is the place. Don't expect a lot. What you see on line is what you get in person. A gravel parking lot filled with holes and people just making up spots to park. The building is warehouse/ old barn very big. The place is only opened on Saturday's from what I was told and it was packed. Once you walk in you know this is going to be different. The picnic tables lines up everywhere and yes the floor was just like the parking lot, gravel, dirty and potholes. The dance floor was huge and packed, they had the floor covered with wood. Better for the foot stomping. The bar was just like an outdoor fest, they ran out of the 32oz beer cups so you had to bring it back if you wanted that size, otherwise it was a 12oz. 5 bucks for 32oz, that was the ticket. I did meet DC and he apologized for running out of cups, very friendly man. The whole inside was just a dirty smoky mess but it works. Spider webs that have been around since BC. The trip to the restroom (outhouse) took it to a new level. Plywood door, metal trough that smelled like grandmas closet, they had it filled with moth balls. I have never seen that before. If you do not care about appearance and want to line dance this is it. Put on your best overalls and tee shirt. I may go back or not. But it was an experience.

Went here to celebrate with my sister. She had received good news cancer free and wanted to go out. We sat at the bar to chat before dinner and the bartender was on top of his game. When we asked to be seated no problem booth was ready. We ordered appetizers of shrimp, they were huge and good. We also ordered oyster Rockefeller and they were also good. I went for the Filet trio and was happy, cooked perfect and very good. My sister went for the baked french onion soup, large bowl lot of cheese, she ate it all, and chased it down with mahi mahi leaving nothing. Her beau had the prime rib and only saved some because he wanted for morning. No complaints on the food or service. We stopped back in the bar for a nightcap and they had a band playing jazz pretty good. Then some guy by the bar was staring and I asked whats up? He noticed the flowers my sister had and then said its that your mom she seems nice. I looked at him and said No its my sister. He got bright red and walked away. The only downside to the evening was walking out the door to the smokers standing in the covered area and getting blasted with smoke, its your choice. Management you need to move the smoking area away from the main entrance door. Good night, good food, good service and time with family.

Went here to celebrate and had an enjoyable time with friends. The bartender took good care of us while we were waiting. After the rest of our group arrived we were seated right away. Kinda cool walking upstairs then across the catwalk. Nice atmosphere not to crowded for a Saturday night. Our waiter came over and took our drink orders then vanished. We had the oysters for an appetizer and they were good. I ordered a Cesar salad and it was ok. For steak I went for MJ's prime Delmonico and it was a good choice. Very tasty and I wanted more. I did order a side of broccoli and I was told it is very spicy but different, i love broccoli and got it. Waiter was correct spicy and different would not order that again. Oh our waiter did finally find us and brought drinks. Then vanished again. The manager came by and we explained the issue with service and said he would take care of it. The waiter again found us and took our drink orders but failed to ask others if they another round as he took their glasses away. Food was good, being with friends very good, service just very disappointing.  Good food with poor service is not a good mix.

A co worker said lets go here for lunch. Ok, it was fairly crowded and we were greeted right away. Then a waitress walks up and grabs 2 menus and starts walking away. She finally turns around and gives me a look like why are you not following me. I'm sorry but trying saying follow me. After a few minutes she comes back and takes our orders. We both went for the romaine salad. Well it was just that, lots of romaine, some eggs and a heaping of onion. You really cant screw up salad but a little less onion and more of something would have made this a much better choice. As for the price way to expensive or maybe it was for the onion. Service started bad but she seemed to cheer up. As I was paying to leave the owner came by and shook my hand and thanked us for stopping in. If I go back it will be for breakfast that seems to be there specialty.

I have been trying to find a new barber. Just like the other review. This place did it right. The place is clean and gets crowded but no big deal. I have had Adriano and he does the job right. This is my new stop.

The place is nice and the bar downstairs looked like a place to hang. We were early and not a problem got our table right away. I wanted a drink so I went for a Dirty Martini. After a bit of a wait the waiter returns to the table and begins to pour. Then it stopped, excuse me I did not order a Martini Light. Waiter says oh the bartender must not be awake, let me take this back. Yeah. He goes and finally returns with the glass still not full. What happened to remaking the drink and shaking and pouring. Tell the sleepy bartender to quit drinking. Ok, so I ordered the filet, med rare and a side of mushrooms. This steak was delicious, cooked to perfection and the shrooms were tasty also. I could have cut the steak with a butter knife. yum-e. The salad left a bit to be desired. So we order desert and waited a bit. The waiter walks by and asks if we would like desert. Well my friend just gave a look and you could see the light in the waiters head turn on. He remembered...Carrot cake was good. But the comment the waiter made when he seen the empty plates. "Those didn't suck". No they did not, but the service was sad. The food was good but you need some better staff.
