Our Story

Born in the DMV, Built for the Community

What started as a backyard cookout dream in 2018 has grown into College Park's favorite spot for smoked meats, handcrafted cocktails, and good vibes. Chef Marcus brings 15 years of Southern and Caribbean culinary tradition to every plate.

We source locally whenever possible — Maryland crab, Virginia produce, and craft spirits from DMV distilleries. Every Friday and Saturday, our lounge comes alive with live jazz, R&B, and spoken word.
