Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — R. Mahan
(This visit was actually back around August, I’m just late in getting reviews in)
We actually came into town to visit a local coffee shop and noticed this place. We decided to give it a go for lunch. It was peak lunch time and place was fairly busy. The service was doing their best to get to everyone on time and honestly they did a good job.
Food arrived in decent time. Our appetizer was pretty tasty (fried pickles), although they could have used a few more minutes cooking (a bit soggy). My partner’s food was ok. Mine was a Po’ Boy fish sandwich and I wanted to like… but the fish tasted like they had overcooked something else and fried the fish in the burnt oil. My bread was super hard, too. The fries were good.
It wasn’t so bad that we felt the need to complain, but I can’t justify five stars.
Establishment was a bit pricey considering the quality we received. The place itself was clean and roomy.
If in the area, we might give this place another go, however I wouldn’t go out of our way to try again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Buffy G
Our group ordered the prime rib sandwich, chicken sandwich and the pot roast. We all enjoyed our food. It was a beautiful night to sit outside. People were laughing and playing corn hole. It was a relaxing atmosphere. We will return in the future.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jessica Vanlue
Food was delicious, from appetizer to dessert!! Deep fried sprouts and cauliflower was a great start. Chicken fried chicken dinner was so crispy and seasoned, enough portion for another meal leftover! For dessert, the gooey butter cake was a must have!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — William Lee
Great food and service, big city bar menu with small town pricing
I had the seafood mac n cheese and their special Christmas "Mimosa" with white wine and white cranberry juice
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Kevin Wilkins
Right out of the gate this place is different. It puts on an upscale first impression, but it's very casual. Food is on point. Definitely recommend.
