About Us

Rooted in simplicity.
Far from boring.

After months of renovations, we managed to turn an empty shell into our own lil’ BBQ haven, and the positive feedback we’ve received since day one has been incredible.

Everything we serve…from our mains to our sides to our craft BBQ sauces…is prepared daily in-house using fresh produce, quality ingredients, and premium meats. All of this combines to create a vibrant taste and unique flavor experience.

We showcase a rotating variety of inspired plates from the Hawaiian Islands, the Caribbean, the Carolinas, and other coastal regions with each pop-up.

Tucked away canalside in downtown Seneca Falls, we provide takeout and DoorDash delivery from 105 Cowing Street. Follow us on Facebook or join the First Wave Club to be among the first to know about upcoming dates, menus, and specials. See you soon!

Loved the coleslaw and cornbread too. Good sized portions and friendly service! You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

We mistakenly entered the restaurant before it opened, and instead of asking us to leave and come back later on, Greg kindly offered to make up a couple plates of brisket for us, which we took to go. Needless to say, hospitality is 10/10, and so is the food! The brisket was perfectly tender and flavorful, and we liked that there’s a variety of yummy sauce options. Great atmosphere, too. Loved all of the decor. Thanks again, Greg, we look forward to returning during regular business hours!!

Their pineapple bourbon BBQ sauce is amazing… with a unique & delicious flavor. It enhanced the taste of the tender pulled pork and Caribbean chicken. The owner was so very friendly too. We’ll definitely be going back.
