What makes it special: Old-school counter serving rib baskets in a beloved country mart.
Who should go: Families and locals wanting casual, nostalgic rib baskets.
When to visit: Afternoons or early evening before the courtyard gets crowded.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Brentwood Country Mart has a small on-site lot with free short-term parking; it can fill up during peak meal hours. Street parking is limited but easier earlier in the day.
Dress code: Super casual—shorts, tees, gym clothes, and kid-in-tow attire are all perfectly normal.
Noise level: Moderate—the outdoor courtyard can get lively, but conversations are still manageable.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes depending on courtyard crowd and to-go lines.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait, though the line moves steadily.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Very limited—fries, sides, and a few snacks only.
Vegan options: Minimal—fries are the safest bet; mains are meat-centric.
Gluten-free options: Limited—rotisserie chicken is the closest GF-friendly option, but cross-contact is possible due to the small stall setup.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re going for casual and unfussy—think shared rib baskets in an outdoor courtyard. Not ideal for something polished or intimate.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—there are no reservations. Seating is first-come in the shared courtyard, and turnover is quick, especially outside peak weekend hours.
Is it kid-friendly? Extremely—lots of families, open-air seating, easy-to-carry baskets, and plenty of space for strollers. Best for kids 3+ who can handle messy ribs.
Best For
Better for: Budget-friendly rib baskets, nostalgic rotisserie chicken, and speedy counter service in a charming old-school marketplace setting.
Skip if: You want slow-smoked BBQ, sauces with regional flair, or a sit-down meal with full service.
