Meanwhile, the Navajo Wrap offers a smoky, hearty punch with grilled chipotle chicken and savory black beans wrapped tightly with pepper jack cheese and guacamole.

    We went to this place for the first time to check it out and really glad we did. Phenomenal food--like the chicken sandwich is bomb. The vibe is great, love the nice little downtown feel in this part of Bristol. Service was stellar, you gotta check it out. In the Great Chicken Sandwich Wars, these guys are currently winning.

    This place really is great! First time coming here and it was very full (Friday night). We didn't have reservations, but our wait wasn't too long--we did luck out as a table for 4 was just clearing out. The hostess was very pleasant, gave us a wait time, but promptly sat us. Our two waitresses were amazing, gave us attention, but didn't smother us nor ignore us, definitely a healthy balance!! Food, what can I say, great choices on the menu. Truly does cater to those with allergies. If there was something you wanted that wasn't safe, they are willing to accommodate should they be able to! They have the Beyond Burger and Vegan Style BBQ Jackfruit Pulled Pork Sandwich for those who are Vegan; they also carry Gluten Free bread!! My husband ordered the Brussels Sprouts & RJ's BBQ Brisket Sandwich (because he's Gluten Free, he could not have the sauce), but it was really great! I had a simple House Salad with Grilled Chicken (sans the croutons and dressing as I am Gluten Free as well). Our friends had the Mac and Cheese and a Caesar Salad with a special request of Buffalo Cauliflower on her salad. All were quite delicious! Drinks, I only drink wine and the selection was nice. I cannot comment on the beer/cocktails, however I hear great things!! The atmosphere, as I mentioned in the beginning, was very lively. They had live music playing and it wasn't obnoxiously loud where you couldn't hear each other speak. All in all, I highly recommend this place. It was really wonderful!!

    Love the look & feel of the brick and wood environment. Service has always been excellent and the food is delicious and they change the menu frequent enough to keep it interesting.

    I was here last Sunday for the first time and really enjoyed it! The restaurant is so cute and cozy, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The service was great — our waitress was super polite and friendly. The food was delicious! I highly recommend the Fajita, it was so tasty and full of flavor. I’ll definitely be back and will try something else from their interesting menu next time!
