May 28, 2026"I absolutely love this place. I get the mac and cheese with bacon, my girlfriend gets the BOJ burger and we share garlic fries, and everything is always delicious. They also do a good job of rotating out drinks on their cocktail menu. My girlfriend has been able to try something new just about every time we've gone. Can't recommend this place enough."

Apr 02, 2026"I visited for the first time today. The food was really good. The fries were so crispy and perfect, i usually don’t like steak fries that much because they are soft but I loved these. The fish tacos that my friend ordered also looked amazing. We wanted to go for the pho but they happened to be out of it. I still really enjoyed what I ordered."

Mar 18, 2026"Stopped in for a quick apatizer and a beer. They had a better selection of draft beers than a lot of places. I ordered a Great White and the Honey hot smoked wings with blu cheese. The food came quick and hot! In terms of spicy, they were not spicy at all, so if you're looking for a spicy wing you may want to try the buffalo sauce (I haven't tried it, I just assume it will have more kick). However, I was not disappointed! The honey glaze was excellent, not too sticky, sweet, and savory. The smokeyness of the chicken really came through, giving a full body blend of smokey and sweet that I loved. The chicken was cooked perfectly, hot and juicy! I will definitely go back to try more of their dishes. They have some interesting lunch combos that come with I think an entree a shot and a beer. The food is good enough that I would come here even if I wasn't going to drink."
