Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Mac & Cheese was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
Great bbq option for the area. The Mac & Cheese was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Burnt Ends stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Cornbread hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
