    Was looking for a reasonably priced wing joint since moving jobs to downtown, and saw they had 5 for $4.99, wanted 2 orders, but at new places I like to taste the menu, so I ordered buffalo style wings and a tri-tip BBQ sandwich.

    Staff was professional and efficient, the food quality was high and the wings crispy, just wished they had tossed the wings in the sauce, as opposed to it being on the side; Nothing special about the sauce.

    BBQ sandwich had a fresh and pleasant taste, filled me up, but overall nothing overly special that you'd rave about on social media.

    rosemary chicken: dry
    Hawaiian chicken: meh
    Mac n cheese: meh
    Corn: over cooked and flavorless

    I'll give it another shot one day, since I didn't get meat.

    I was craving wings and Smoke is right next to where I live so I decided to give it a go... man, what a mistake.

    Wings were dry and tough and burnt, I mean just look at the photo...

    They had 3 different flavors to choose from--and by flavors they mean side sauces. "We don't toss our wings in any sauces." Really? Well, I was hungry so... whatever.

    $15.31 for 12 wings and small fries. Meh.

    Also, the owner called a customer "hot" 3 times and she was clearly uncomfortable the first time he said it but I don't think he got the memo. Very unprofessional.

    Definitely not coming back...

    I think I ordered the wrong thing because my sister enjoyed her chicken bowl with rice, while I did not enjoy my tandoori chicken kale and quinoa salad.  The kale looked deceptively cooked, but was hard and the dressing wasn't very tasty - got the red balsamic per the worker's suggestion that the regular balsamic was too sweet.  There wasn't very much quinoa just a lot of kale. It just wasn't enjoyable, tasted too bland and hard.   Guess I gotta come back to try something else.

    Came here on a weekday for lunch.
    Located in the Wells Fargo building by a Starbucks.

    Custimer service was great! Very friendly and upbeat. However the food was a huge let down. All the ingredients are prepped and ready to be plopped down. This is truly fast food. You can go in, order, pay, and go out in less than 2 minutes.

    I got the BBQ pulled pork sandwich with a side of coleslaw at their recommendation. The bread was soft and cold. The pork was tough. The sauce was over seasoned and splattered everywhere. It was not easy to eat at all. The coleslaw was bland and rubbery.

    It is unfortunate because the speediest and service was good. But the food was terrible. I won't be back.
