Short version: THIS PLACE HAS FANTASTIC FOOD AND GREAT SERVICE.

All caps. Slightly longer version: We were shown our table and anyone passing by kept checking in throughout our meal. From before we ordered our meal to the very end.

Raul and Carlos made this place so welcoming for us. From explaining menu options to giving us a sample of some of the food :) They plan to open another one in Arcadia so I'm super stoked to go there when they do open!

So Sam and Mark were our servers and Sam made us some delicious and beautiful
purple drink that was amazing just for us to try. It made the experience even more fun being able to try something new that we didn't even ask for.

Mark was really great and made sure we were comfortable and shaded from the sun. He was super helpful with picking a really good drink for me because I was on a diet that I have to limit my sugar. Just to make it easy I picked whatever drink but Mark said if you want less sugar we can do x, y, z. That was super nice vs when you go somewhere and people are annoyed that you don't know what you want.

Anyway, great food (brisket Mac n cheese is amazing), awesome service and clean nice atmosphere.

It's was our 1st time here at this location and it was very busy but every body was on top of their game. We waited a few minutes to get seated and a young lady sat us down quickly.

We were served by Christina who was very nice and attentive to us and the other billion customers they had there. I believe they were short staffed but her and the crew kept it together and we waited like less than 10 minutes to get our appetizers and shortly after that our meals came.

We have been to the other location on Whittier Blvd a few times and wasn't too impressed. This place is a whole different story. The brisket was amazing and the giant pretzel with cheese was definitely fun to eat. Brisket grilled cheese was amazing and had a generous amount meat. Definitely coming back to this location. The vibe is cool

Great dinner. Had the Brisket, Rack of Lamb, and Loaded Fries w/ Nashville Hot Chicken. Good portion size and this was just the right amount of food for 3 hungry guys. Great flavours in all the dishes. Fantastic service in a tag team style. Mixed drinks are as good as they are cleverly named. Would happily return.

Super fire any restaurant want to smoke? Really though food was delicious best rack of lamb I've had ever services great Eliza took care of us. Everything came on time. Hot and ready. I've seen this exact restaurant space change many times over the years but I hope it doesn't. High quality decent price great service great food great people great vibe.
