Food was delicious. My wife and I loved the flavor of the Korean Ribs, was wild to taste Korean fried chicken on a rib lol.😋Personally the brisket for me was ok, nothing extra ordinary. We do wish the portions were little more especially considering the price. (It’s seems the online menu prices are not updated to the in person menu prices)
Love the vibes. Feels like a fisherman restaursnt, especially with it being close the the actually dock.
Wow! It was absolutely delicious and definitely worth the trip from Manhattan.
The atmosphere was fantastic, with a live band creating the perfect vibe. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the side dishes were just as amazing. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared.
I would absolutely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great steakhouse experience!
Came here on July 3 holiday. Arrived at the front line 20 minutes before and there were around 4 groups in front of me. When the place opened at noon, the line moved quickly and I was seated with my food within 10 minutes.
I ordered a 0.5lbs brisket and a small size Mac and cheese. The brisket literally melts in your mouth and tasted great. However they were some parts that were chewy and all but overall amazing. Mac and Cheese was really good. One of the best I’ve ever had.
I am really glad I came this place. I definitely will spend 1+ hour again to see taste this food
WHAT DO THEY DO TO THIS NACHO CHEESE DIP TO MAKE IT SO PERFECT?! It’s perfect. I’d never order this of my own will but my friend ordered it and what a great decision that was.
The cornbread is great.
All the meat is great.
A 1/2 lb of meat per person is definitely enough, especially if you get 1-2 sides.
This isn’t the cheapest spot. 2 sides and 2 1/2 lbs of meat was $75 (fed 2 people and was a lot of food).
I LOVE that they have Stiegl! And they have special really great mugs for the radlers.
Lots of seating. There was a long line on a Saturday at 7pm and it moved slow.
still as good as i remember but with much longer lines. Sunday afternoon lines are about 1 hour from outside the door to the register. brisket and spare ribs were delicious
