FELIX'S BBQ WITH SOUL REVIEWS

Absolutely delicious! What a gem of a place. Wonderful, welcoming service, ample parking. I had the 1/2 BBQ chicken w candied sweet yams and perfectly seasoned collard greens. The soft, warm cornbread was equally tasty. There was live music w very talented musicians. Please try Felix's at least once. Yummy food w soul and love for sure.

This writer was pleasant surprise with the atmosphere of this restaurant. As a traveling traveler, we were greeted with old-fashioned welcome and the food was superb.. The fried chicken was fried to perfection and macaroni cheese with like grandma macaroni and cheese. And they brought the cornbread as part of the serving.

Alexis (our server) was amazing super helpful with the menu and had great service and attitude. Will be coming back just because of her! Food was good too, reminds me of home.

ENZO'S BBQ ALE HOUSE REVIEWS

Visited here for our birthday. We were surprised at the atmosphere. What an amazing hideaway. The food was very tasty and flavorful. I was able to have my sauce on the side and taste the true meat. The sides were ok as well. The service was super. Our server, Sydney, was great and constantly checked on us. The establishment was also very clean and tidy. We will return on a Friday for the live music.

Very good food! My wife and I both thought it was delicious! The menu has lots of options, so we will definitely be coming back. She got the brisket burnt ends platter and I had the tri tip sandwich and then we had wings to share. Portions were big and we had leftovers. It’s definitely a good choice if you’re looking to have a feast with a variety of food!

Love the location and ambiance. They have live music some nights, and great food. Very friendly atmosphere. I usually order the ribs, and love the cornbread!
