Great service! Great bands.

We went here for first time to see a show so my review is for venue and music only ... not dinner. The reservation and ticketing is a bit odd for a music venue but this seems like it is currently mostly a restaurant that sometimes has solid music options. The place is pretty big inside and has an elevated stage in the back of a main room with assorted tables throughout the venue. Everyone working here was nice, helpful and seemed to enjoy working there. The stage has good elevation and the sound was good from our seats. Beer/drink prices were reasonable. I will definitely return for more music.

Nice, clean, convenient (to me) venue with a friendly staff, good food, easy parking and an excellent selection of beer. The acoustics are good and the music volume was loud but not obnoxiously so — you can hear each other without yelling, which is nice. Being able to reserve a table as part of the ticket price is also great.

Good music !

First time here and was nice. Food was ok (just had some appetizers). Most of the drinks were good. Service was very good , but bar slowed down a bit when the music started, but that's not unusual. Liked the way they limited patrons until late.

Music was good, food was good - prices a little on the high side but not crazy. WORSE thing was our designated driver had a $25+ bill just for drinking iced tea because not knowing they charged for each refill. Add that to the food he had , his bill was over $65 Ridiculous.

Great atmosphere - but horrible service and the food was pretty boring at best. Took 20 minutes for our drinks to arrive and they were so bad. It must be the location keeping this open.

Came here for brunch on Sunday with my mom and boyfriend after church, I live in the area so I wanted a good place to eat brunch and this place was new so why not? This place is so unimpressive.. drinks were overpriced and watered down, food was less than good bar food and the waiter acted as if she was afraid of us.I would not come back .and I wouldn’t recommend

This one is going to hurt a bit. I really want to give more stars but just can't bring myself to do it. This was our 2nd visit because we figured the last one was kind of a wash due to covid issues. But now, I see no excuse. I will start by saying, the atmosphere is wonderful. On this visit we even sat out in the front where there are garage style doors for windows that were open for a nice indoor outdoor feel. That is, until the wind started blowing and dead fern leaves kept blowing in our drinks. Whatevs, it just adds a bit to our immune system right? There wasn't a wait to be seated but there were definitely a good amount of people already seated to include at least two good sized parties. The server was pleasant and attentive. This is saying a lot right now in the service industry. We hadn't planned on entertainment but were pleasantly surprised with a live band. It was especially fun because it was a group of teens. So my 13 year old was pretty exited about that. They weren't half bad either. Now here comes the negative part. Out of 2 appetizers and 4 meals, none of us were really impressed. With the prices as high as they are I would expect at least one of us to be wowed... by something. I mean, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't exceptional. The desserts I felt were the biggest waste. My son ordered a milkshake at the sundae price of $9.50 and said it was just like drinking a glass of milk. For $9.50?! Then my husband and I each chose a crepe also costing $9.50 a piece. When they arrived they looked more like tortillas. The thickness was somewhere in between a traditional pancake and to be honest, a tortilla. They definitely weren't thin enough to be true crepes. Plus, I've never seen a crepe presentation like that. But maybe it's a new way to do it or they aren't following the French way. I don't know. Maybe I'm just not as cultured as I thought I was. Final thought, we probably won't be back for a 3rd go around.

The ambiance is nice but food didn't match for me. I ordered the Brussels sprouts appetizer and shrimp and grits entree. The Brussels sprouts had a mayo based sauce on it which I didn't care fo. The shrimp and grits had a brown gravy on top. Never had that before. The grits were also a pasty texture.

Really impressed by this place. Was expecting an entire menu built around chicken dishes, but the variety is good and the atmosphere is even better. They feature live music every week so it was fun to get away and enjoy some entertainment. I did try the fried chicken sandwich and it was very good, made with their own homemade pickles. Definitely recommend!

Great place for live shows. Fantastic food too. I miss the wine on tap, they no longer have it in that format. Get an appetizer, a few drinks, and enjoy a show. Support live music in a safe environment and get out of the house for a few.

Food was a little better than bar food. Luckily a journey cover band was playing. Interesting place but probably wouldn't come back.
