What people say, in short
Most diners recommend Little Beast, and a few point to its beer, and a couple to its patio. Several praise the barbecue, and one suggests pairing a visit with a slice of pie from the place next door. One patron describes the Monday trivia as challenging and interesting, and a couple name it among their top picks. Not everyone is convinced: one diner found it just okay and would skip it, while another offered only hedged praise for the beer, patio and barbecue.
