We went for happy hour last night. We had a great waiter and had a nice time. Food was good ordered way too much.

Martini price on the menu: $13.00 Receipt cost of a martini: $25.00 I ordered a Martini with a specific Gin. They were out of that gin and gave me alternatives to choose from. I chose one. Would you like olives? Yes, of course, I would like olives. This is the result of answering simple questions: "Martini upcharge" $3.00 "Olives" $3.00 "Double" charge $3.00 "Gin fee" $3.00 Are you kidding me? Why not just charge me for the "glass fee" and, "environment fee" and, "seating charge?" Never once did my young waiter ever elude to extra fees. Why would a bar charge a fee per olive? And if you're out of one gin, why charge me extra for one of the alternatives? A "double fee?" Ok so you used more alcohol to make a martini, then you need to put that on the menu as a selection as a single or double. Then serve my martini in a shot glass so I can avoid the "double" charge. Oh, you had to use vermouth in my martini so you charged me an upcharge? Ridiculous for so many reasons. Shame on you Back Nine. Redo your menu pricing immediately or tell your servers to carry a warning page of all of the asinine extra charges. You got me this time but you won't find me sitting in your free dining room chairs or using your free straws anytime in the future. Please send me a $25.00 review fee for this honest review.

You tell me. Here's the $18 burger week burger. Meat and buns. Lettuce is extra, cheese extra, whatever else extra. The meat had stuff inside however, but here's what ya get!

The food was delicious. The scalloped potatoes tasted like the ones my mom used to make, scrumptious. The ribs melted in your mouth. The he bbq sauce was perfect, not too thick, just right and flavor was fantastic. We had a large party and everyone loved their choice. The server Clay, was friendly & attentive. The restaurant was busy and the volume was quiet and relaxing. Definitely a wonderful experience overall. Can't wait to go back. Thank you to the complete staff.

Ordered cheesecake through Uber Eats for around 30 dollars. What came was a small slice of cheesecake that is actually 6 dollars on their menu. I usually never leave reviews, but this was just not it. I am utterly disappointed. Have a good day.

Meh! I haven't been to this location for years. I had a BLT. It was mediocre. The best thing I had was the cole slaw. I'm not a fan of cole slaw but it sounded good from the menu description. It was very good. My guest ordered fish and chips which were okay. The food is okay there's just nothing special about it. Disappointing.
Great restaurant with tasty entrees and sides! Cozy atmosphere, amazing appetizers, and wonderful service! Can't wait to come back for more!Vegetarian options: Wonderful crispy fried green beans and cauliflower appetizers!!

Food was pretty decent. Bread was delicious but the butter was ice cold making it hard or impossible to spread. The sherry vinaigrette was delicious! Mushroom risotto was pretty good and I'd get it again definitely but needs a little salt and pepper. Service was okay. The server was new and friendly but missed the point a couple times. That being said our table was large with a lot going on. Ambience was great! I'm excited to sit outside this summer!

Overpriced for what you get, then big service charge and then they expect a tip on top of that.
