Noise level: Moderate—lively enough for groups, but you can still hold a conversation at the table.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes during peak hours, shorter if you arrive early.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait or very short waits.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—grilled vegetables and starchy sides work, but the menu is meat-forward.
Vegan options: Very limited—sides only; best for mixed groups rather than vegan-focused meals.
Gluten-free options: Some grilled meats may work, but sauces and marinades vary—ask before ordering.
Best For
Better for: Group-friendly skewer BBQ where you can order in rounds and sample a lot without committing to a full meal.
