Don't go on a hot day. That leave all the doors open, hot and humid, and bugs hover the table. So annoying. Make sure you don't sit next to the waiter/waitress station. I made eye contact several times while I was trying to eat and had to hear their personal conversations the entire meal. Again, so annoying. I just wanted to finish my meal and get out.

Only been there 3 times and I love it, the Mayonnaise is the best. All there sauces are good infact. And if you didn’t know they make there own mayonnaise and I think all of there sauces. They have one of mt favorite mayonnaise’s.

Came here many times and always had a great experience. Friendly service and good food. This place also looks nice and well kept, the restrooms are also super clean.

My husband and I came here for happy hour and was very pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food and drinks were. We ordered the spicy buffalo style meatballs and cheeseburger and also the Pizza port chronic. The beer was so refreshing. The cheeseburger tastes very moist and flavorful. The meatballs were pretty good as well. They have seating indoors and also covered outside patio. We sat outside and it was nice and breezy.

The food is great don't get me wrong. I'm giving it three stars for the extremely slow service. The restaurant was basically empty, 10 minutes waiting to be greeted after we sat down. Even longer to get our drinks.

Popped in today and sat at the bar for a birthday toast with my mom. My cocktail (For a Good Thyme Call) was very different & delicious!

This review is long overdue. I have been to this place four times in the past few months. Each and every time the food and service has been impeccable, including when I was with a party of 15. My favorite dish ins the ahi tuna burger (which they cook absolutely perfect with a slight grill). Their sauces are delicious. Their Parmesan truffle fries are a must! They have good options for wine and beer and I really enjoyed their Sunday brunch - Bubba option with endless mimosas. Will happily come back anytime and highly recommend.

Really great atmosphere, food, and service! Love the owners and their fearlessness during the pandemic. Unique American style menu items that always taste great.

Excellent burger!!! I had the Cowboy Burger that consisted of onion straws, bacon, cheese, and barbecue sauce!! Juicy and delicious! It came with your choice of fries! I got the Parmesan truffle fries that were served nice and hot and so yummy! Service was excellent, and really nice place inside! You can eat outside also. My friend had this really nice salad that was huge! Looked really nice and fresh. She loved it. I would go back there for sure.

So I've been here about 5 times now. Kept giving them opportunities after opportunities to WoW me. NEVER happened. I've had: filet, ribs, seabass, burger and salad. I would avoid anything you wouldn't order at a sports bar. The filet is over sauced, full rack of ribs comes in two halves that don't look anything a like. It's like ordering ribs from two different restaurant. Half from one, half from another. The seabass is ok, but grossly over priced for what you get. Now here's why they didn't get 2 stars.... Their burgers and salad was good. Basically what you would expect. I wouldn't say it's the best around, but it's good. The bar.... What a fail. Their bartenders make drinks like they work at Olive Garden or Chili's. Drinks are NOT well crafted. I had the old fashion and it tasted like cough medicine with a ton of sugar. I ordered just a glass of bourbon and they poured me a jigger ounce. So don't expect a decent pour even though after order 2 drinks the bottle is paid for for them. With all that's out there, that's SO much better, I would not recommend going here. If you're in the area and just want a burger or salad, maybe ‍ Service is ok. Won't blow you away with quality or joy, but they will get your order and bring you your food. Managers are questionable. When I asked one to come look at my ribs that where oddly different even though they are supposedly from one rack, she just took one half away and brought it back and handed it to like something had changed. So weird that I just set it aside, paid for my meal and left.
