Happy hour made easy with @1229shine ✨

I’m not usually a frozen drink person, but the Frozen Strawberry Cabana made me rethink that stance. Sweet, refreshing, and bright almost as if a strawberry-banana smoothie had been upgraded.

The Crab Rangoon Mozzarella Sticks were gone embarrassingly fast. Creamy mozzarella, surimi crab, and scallions tucked inside panko crust, served with sweet chili sauce that pulled it all together.

The Asian Salad brought color and crunch with cabbage, carrot, red onion, crispy onion. I wanted more from the lime vinaigrette, perhaps a sesame ginger dressing would give it more depth.

The Smokehouse Mac featured cavatappi tangled in smoked cheddar and gouda, topped with smoked short rib and crispy onions. This is where 1229 Shine shines brightest: their smoked meats are their superpower, and it shows.
