Everything was absolutely delicious, good serving size, and good service! I especially enjoyed the brisket nachos! More than enough to share!They were even better after my flight [yes I took my left overs on the plane with me back to DC]. Though not required I recommend a reservation. We went on a Monday for lunch and it was packed!

5 Stars! We walked in w/out reservations on a Sat night and waited 45 min for a table. Along with a lineup, they were pumping out takeout orders so all good signs for a great meal ahead at this popular spot. A fun atmosphere along with great staff who work as a team to ensure that the dining experience is a good one. Our table of 5 ordered the brisket nachos, brisket tacos, American classic sliders, quesadilla, and chicken fingers along with some fun cocktails and mocktails. Our chicken finger expert rates them a 10/10, and the skinny fries were good too. If you go here, check out the brisket, it was absolutely delicious. I would skip the quesadilla, the chilies were a great touch, but I was personally not a fan of the crispy cheddar cheese top. We will be back again for the brisket tacos and I can't wait to try the salad - looked amazing.

The waitress Summer was awesome gave me some great suggestions I had the brisket sliders and the General Tso’s cauliflower with the avenue sauce. Every single bite was great. Amazing flavor combinations, the sliders needed no condiments. If you are close definitely try this spot!

One of the best restaurants, you can tell they care about their customers and the food is outstanding. I love everything I try and they have specials every month. I recommend to everybody and go a couple times a month.

The entire menu looks phenomenal....I got the chicken salad wrap (I forget the actual name) and it was by Far the best wrap I've eaten. Everything that passed by the table smelled incredible....and the espresso martini!! It sparkled and shimmered!! It was delicious AND beautiful. I will definitely be going back.

Stopped by for lunch for a pint of craft beer and a salad and was not disappointed! Ordered Brussels sprouts salad with salmon… fries, but home made ketchup is the winner!

Very cool spot with comfortable seating and professional staff. The beer selection was awesome and the food was even better. The cod sliders were great and the nachos and Cajun fries were awesome as well! Will be back next time I'm in the area.
