About Us
Restaurant, Bar and Patio adjoining the Motorco Showroom
We have a cozy, heated indoor space for the brief Carolina “winters”, but we’re most known for our big patio along Rigsbee Ave with its large communal tables. We’re a casual, social place and we try to make everything easy and relaxed – so we don’t offer reservations. Our menu offers variety, vegan and value with a tapas style so you can mix and match items or customize any of our specialties. Add seared tuna to your Udon or kimchi to your masala poutine. We always serve the full menu whenever we’re open and if you want Parts&Labor at home, you can use Toast to order takeout or even delivery.

When the weather is nice, our outdoor seating tends to fill up fast, first around opening time and then again during dinner hours. We love hosting parties and group meet-ups!
