Before you come
01Do you take reservations?
Not for barbecue. We are counter service, first come first served. The steak dinner on Thursday to Sunday evenings is the one thing you can book.
02How do steak dinner reservations work?
The Steak Dinner, Thursday to Sunday evenings, is the one thing we take bookings for. Reserve it on our Steak dinners page. Reservations are not available for barbecue.
03Can I order ahead or online?
No. Every plate is built at the counter from what is on the board that minute. For a large pre-order, talk to us about catering.
04What is the wait like?
About 45 minutes from the front door, and up to two hours from the northwest corner of the building at weekends. Larger groups order more food, so weekends run longer.
05When should I come to get everything?
Between 11 and 1. We open at 11 with about twenty people already in line, and sliced beef — cheeks, flat iron, brisket — usually goes by mid-afternoon.
06What time do you sell out?
Every day is different. Sliced beef such as cheeks, flat iron and brisket usually goes fastest. We run on a sell-out model, so some cuts are not replenished later in the day, but we will always have a good selection of sliced and pulled meats. Weekday lunch is the best time to come with the shortest wait.
07Is there anything good left in the evening?
Yes. Tri-tip joins the line after 5, the Anytime Eats menu runs all day at the bar, and there are dinner specials most nights.
08Can I drink while I wait?
Yes. Take something from the retail fridges and pay at the bar, or order a draft beer or a beer and wine cocktail to carry in the line.
09Where do I park?
There is a small lot on the property, and plenty of street parking in the neighbourhood behind us. Six spaces belong to the design office upstairs — those get towed. Please do not block driveways or mailboxes.
10Are you dog friendly?
On the patio, yes, and there are water bowls out there. Service animals anywhere.
11I have an allergy. Who do I ask?
Ask us when you order and we will walk you through it. Our meats and barbecue sauces are gluten free.
12What wood do you use?
Post oak. Only post oak.
13Do I have to wait in line for to-go?
For barbecue, yes: all of it comes from the line. Anytime Eats skip it — order those at the bar — and so do the dinner specials after 5, Friday to Sunday.
14Do you sell merch?
Yes. The cookbook, hats, shirts and our sauces are in the shop on this site, to collect at the counter. Our rubs come from Chud's BBQ Provisions.
15Do you sell gift cards?
Yes, physical and e-gift cards. Ask at the counter.
