First time here and we will be back!! Great location in the pearl, on a Monday and was a great time to go. Pulled pork eggs Benny and chicken and waffles were ordered along with two Bloody Mary’s. All were super good. Service was great, it was a tad noisy in the restaurant, but that is to be expected. Definitely will return to try more things on the menu. The food all around us looked so amazing!!

We did the Sippin Santa event here and it was a 1000/10 experience. The decor, the drinks, the ambiance all absolute perfection wouldn't change a thing. Our server was also very attentive which we appreciated. Not too much in the way of veg/vegan food but we made do. We'd go again and again.
