For regular dining, we are walk-in only, no reservations needed or accepted. For parties of 12-50 guests, reservations can be made in two-hour blocks and require a non-refundable reservation fee. See our events and catering page for more information.

At this time, we will only seat complete parties. If you arrive early, you can order a drink at the bar and enjoy it in our standing room while you wait for the rest of your guests. Please check back in with the host once your full party has arrived.

As of now, we are equipped to seat up to 10 guests at a table together. If you have a larger party, we will seat you at separate tables, and cannot guarantee they are near each other during peak busy times. If you would like guaranteed seating, you can make a large party reservation with a non-refundable reservation fee (see our events and catering page for more information).

We offer large booths and long communal tables, so you may be seated alongside other guests. BBQ is a friendly, social culture! We also have a spacious bar with plenty of barstools.

We kindly ask that table time be limited to two hours so we can accommodate all of our guests. You are welcome to stay and hang after your meal! Just stash your things on a hook or a cubby (we have many locations throughout the restaurant) and find some standing room by the stage or the kid’s room.

We do NOT allow pets on our patio.

We love animals, but with live music and little ones in the mix, our patio is best enjoyed pet-free. Thanks for understanding!

We do not allow outside food or beverage, with exception of celebratory cakes. There is a $6/person cake fee for outside cakes.

Please leave your cake at the host stand upon arrival. We will store it until time to present with candles, then slice and serve for you.

Takeout can be ordered online here.

You are also welcome to come in and order takeout at our walk-up counter. Stay and enjoy a drink while your food is prepared.

Stay tuned, as we will launch special reservation and event programming in the coming months.

Digital gift cards can be purchased here. Physical gift cards can also be purchased onsite during business hours.

You can reach our music booker directly here. Please read our Flavor Guidelines to ensure you are a good fit for our programming!
