🚨 Today’s Food Update! 🚨

It’s first come, first served today! Once we’re sold out of our food, that’s it—there will be no additional food available.

If you’re craving wings, burgers, chicken, fries, homemade chips, or pork egg rolls, don’t wait too long!

🍺 The good news? We have plenty of ice-cold beer, alcohol, and Carbliss available all day, so come hang out and enjoy a drink with us!

We appreciate everyone’s support and can’t wait to see you! 🍻

What started as a test run at the Gem City Concert Series to see if our Smoked Adobo Chicken Tacos would even sell… has turned into one of the biggest surprises we’ve had in a while.

On Day 1 of the new menu, they came in as our #1 best-selling item! 🔥

If you haven’t tried them yet, today’s the day.

🌮 Smoked chicken marinated in our homemade adobo sauce for 24+ hours
🌽 Roasted corn & peppers
🧀 Cheese
🔥 Chipotle ranch

The flavor on these things is absolutely ridiculous. 🤤

Come see what everyone’s talking about and let us know what you think! We’re open today and ready to sling some tacos!
