Picnic is a hidden gem for barbecue lovers! 🍖 I recently visited and was blown away by their tender brisket - smoky and full of flavor. The baked beans had a delightful twist, and the mac and cheese was creamy perfection.

The atmosphere is cozy and casual, making it a great spot for lunch or dinner. I also loved that they have a good selection of cocktails! 🍹

Though my brussel sprouts needed a bit more cooking, their overall freshness and taste made up for it. Plus, the staff was friendly and attentive. Can't wait to come back for more! 🌟
