★★★★☆ 4.0 Peng Tang · Feb 2026

Fresh serves. Hot pan corns with cheese is a must. Setting is well-considerate - private and public. One of the cleanest BBQ in the area. Uniqueness: 7 Value: 7 Experience: 7

We had like 11 people go there. That was some of the best and most consistent service I've gotten. If you like stronger flavors I'd bring some more seasonings.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Erika Bobadilla · Aug 2025

I had to flag down staff multiple times just to get service at our table. The waitresses kept bringing items we didn’t order, which raised our bill unnecessarily though we didn’t really mind at first. Our table was also left cluttered with dirty dishes for far too long. I understand that an automatic 18% gratuity is added for parties of 8 or more, but our group was 5 adults, a baby, and my grandmother. It felt unreasonable to be charged this fee, especially when I had to constantly flag down staff. One waitress in particular clearly didn’t want to be working. When she did come over, she placed and removed dishes aggressively, which left a negative impression. (Petite lady with shorts) In the end, we spent almost $300 for poor service. Unfortunately, I won’t be recommending this place, n

Absolutely horrendous experience. Will NEVER come back. We sat down and waited 20 minutes for anyone to even take our order. Then another 10 minutes just for meat. When food arrived, there were NO water cups, maybe the water is tooooo expensive for me to drink,NO sauce plates on the table. I asked a server, and they said, “We’re busy, we don’t have enough tableware.” If you don’t have enough utensils to serve customers, and they went to get the sauce and cup for us, they just throw it on the table They messed up our order TWICE. We don’t eat chicken at all, so we clearly didn’t order it. I’m not stupid—I can tell what’s chicken and what’s beef. During last call, we ordered the same two meats we had earlier, and one of them was some mystery meat I don’t even recognize. service are rude,

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Sandra C · Jan 2026

We were lied to and they ripped us off. We were a party of 6, which comes with a service fee of 18%. We 100% knew that and understood it. What we didn’t know and understand was that the waiter was going to charge us an additional 18%. See photo for proof. We wanted to come back. But after the restaurant stole $47.52 from our table, we will not be returning. And I don’t recommend. Maybe I’ll recommend if you are less than 6, so they can’t rip you off with having a service charge and then giving themselves a 18% additional tip. Good food, but being ripped off left a really bad taste in my mouth.
