It is right along the road and the smoke is like a beacon that calls our hungry stomach. Worth Eat may look very small outside with just the grill place/kitchen and upper terrace at first glance but a stairway beside it will lead you down and inside its very charming space away from the busy highway.
Here you will be able to dine in beautiful tents and lights with the sky and a big tree for a backdrop. There are also long tables for families and groups. It is pretty spacious that you won’t have to worry of social distance.

Tasty BBQ and Food
They have their own flavor in their BBQ that will make you come back for more and in big servings too. A must-try there is their chicken breasts on a stick. That’s three chicken breasts in a stick, the chicken was soft and very chewy together with the tasty sauce. They also have meat and other food to complement your BBQ party.
