We are a casual BBQ "joint" in the traditional sense. The focus is on the food. Slow smoked meats, homemade sides, rubs, sauces and desserts. Friendly service, at home feel. Excellent beer and wine lists (no kidding). Genuine Southern BBQ. Everything made

A favorite spot to rest and re-fuel in the middle of a day of shopping at Santana Row. Great for Sunday brunch! Friendly and attentive wait staff and terrific food. Be aware, though, that during major sporting events this place can be crazy noisy. My only request would be that the back room be a "sports free zone" (in other words, mute the sound) for us ladies who just want a place to rest our toes and enjoy a place to chat and dine.

This place does a really good job at attempting the New Orleans feel and cuisine, from the live music to the jambalaya. I highly recommend the Blackened Chicken & Tasso Pasta, and also the Cajun Fries. They happen to be my favorite items on the menu.Hi Chris,Thank you for taking the time to give us a review.

What an amazing restaurant - located at Levi's Stadium. Kept hearing about the fine dining part and it didn't disappoint. We had seafood platters for entrée and mains were steaks. Everything was absolutely delicious. Our guests were clients and they were raving about the food!!The sommelier was very knowledgeable and so professional and courteous. He helped choose some delicious local wines for our big group. Wait staff were great as well. If I'm ever in San Jose, will come back to this restaurant. Thank You!!

I was looking for a place to host an informal dinner following a memorial service. The TripAdvisor reviews on this place lead me to believe it would be tough to get in here, and tougher still to find enough seating for a group that could be up to 16 people. But this location was perfect, near our hotel. The menu had something for everyone. I decided to book an early reservation for 8 people (the most you could do on-line) using Open Table and then establish an Open Table account for my wife so she too could make a reservation for 8. As it turned out, no reservation was probably needed. The restaurant doesn't open until 5:00 which is about the time our group started to show up. Over time our group morphed to 24 people. Not to worry, we had one waitress dedicated to our group so ordering, food delivery and settling bills ended up being seamless. I could not be more impressed with the level of service. The building itself is a beautiful architectural masterpiece. Adjacent to the restaurant is a small pond with, on this day, Canadian geese and mallards with their broods of newly born babies toddling behind. I know they list this place as a brewery, and indeed the freshly brewed beers were good, but the food, the service and the ambiance of the place made it seem more like fine dining. Thank you so much for joining us and taking the time to leave us a review. We're happy to hear everything went perfect for you and your party. We appreciate the thorough review, cheers!

There are few good restaurants in the immediate area and with a hotel and apartments on the same site it gets a lot of pressure. Be sure to call ahead for reservations. Lots of people had their dogs and were ok to sit outside.Food was good but not memorable.

The thing is, I actually LIKE this chain. I love the choice of many types of burgers (beef, chicken, vegan, turkey, mahi mahi, another vegetarian one, and I think others) and the many options for buns, toppings, and so on. It's a lot of fun to fill out the menu. And the people were nice.But why when I order does it take like 30-40 minutes for the food to arrive? For a burger. A very cool burger, sure. But COME ON! And it's not once. Every couple of years we think of coming here, we do so, and then remember why we've stayed away.We ate at this chain in LA and had no problem. I don't know what the deal is here. But whatever it is â it certainly spoiled my day.PS â As mentioned in other reviews: It sure isn't cheap!

You know Henryâs you get there and about two hours later you get to eat. Is the wait worth it? Yes it is. Now hereâs the good part. You need to eat because by the time you get seated. You are blank faced. Food and if your with a date you buy the biggest item on the menu. Who knew now desert. Over the top. Now drive to your final destination and fall asleep. Highly recommend get make sure it not your first date. Happy eating.

Attentive, friendly service. Seemed overworked ( hard to track down) but still excellent service with a smile. Located on the main drag of Santana row, close to multi story parking structure. Great beer selection, high energy. Bar food, like burgers, wings, nachos, fried stuff are all good. Higher price menu items that require more delicate cooking method and more attention from the cooks are not worth venturing into. But that is not this place is known for. Stay with the beer and bar food and you will be extremely happy. Even though the sitting process after you reported to the host or hostess stand is a bit chaotic, come on in, enjoy the friendly service and get involved with the energy of the patrons provide your own energy, it is a happy place.
