“Grabbed some lunch, as we stayed at the Wyndham. Food was delicious and our waitress was wonderful! Will be back!“

“Love the environment here. Staff is fantastic and the beer is cold. If you love the hometown bar feel then this is the place for you.“

“We have been going to the FIX since the first night it opened. The food is excellent and never disappoints! The serving staff, the kitchen and Miss Erica are superb and so easy to love! This is not my first review of the FIX, but I just had to update my review!“

“We’ve eaten here three times in last two weeks. It’s the closest restaurant to our home and we love the atmosphere here. Greg and Josie have been our servers and both are friendly and knowledgeable. We love the station burger and wedge salad but we also love shrimp and grits and the recent bourbon chicken special.“

“We had a wonderful time hosting a wedding rehearsal dinner for our son and his bride at Happs Place. The food was delicious, reasonably priced, and the menu options perfect for the event. The service was efficient, polite, and on-time. We also had an afternoon lunch in the back where there is a putting green and other activities outside the bar. Dereck and his team are real pros. This place is a treasure and highly recommended.“

“My best friend, who also happens to be my wife, had the stuffed chicken breast and could not stop commenting about how great it was. It came with mashed potatoes, green beans and stewed apples. She actually said it was the best meal she had ever had. And that is coming from a great cook! I had the special ribeye which was delicious and perfectly cooked medium rare just as I had ordered. Our server Joe(Joseph) was very attentive and knowledgeable but not hovering. The Orchard is one of our all time favorite restaurants and we have never been disappointed with the food, service or ambiance no matter where we were seated.“

“Sandwich shop in a farmers market with outside picnick tables. Food of exceptional quality. Top few Cuban sandwiches I've had and I've tried at least 50 different versions. Best was at an authentic Cuban place in Florida but this one was right up there.“

“Great large indoor and outdoor area that is pet friendly. We tried a few beers that were good, not spectacular but good. We had the Brussels (really good!) and the smash burger (okay). We got to be out for the eclipse which was awesome after a great local hike as well. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.“

“We stopped into the Panther Cafe for a late lunch today. It was absolutely delicious. I chose the BLT with fries. It was the perfect southern bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. The bread was toasted to perfection, the bacon was crispy, the veggies were fresh, and it was topped off with just the right amount of Duke's mayonnaise! My fries were hot and crispy. The little restaurant is quaint - made of large logs, with a vaulted ceiling, and gorgeous hardwood floors. The seating area is an eclectic blend of mismatched farmhouse tables. Our waitress was extremely pleasant and efficient. If you're looking for casual food done well, this is the perfect little restaurant.“

“Cashiers offers a number of good restaurants, though some may be closed in the off season. If you don't want to drive to Brevard Cashiers has options. The Ugly Dog pub is a great choice. Good food served fast. The place was not crowded in March. The manager made the rounds to check on us. My wife needed gluten free. They don't have GF bread ? but they offered to give her the sandwich on the plate, no bun. They have a full bar with two big screen TV's over the bar. If you are in the area and don't want a chain restaurant, it's a good option.“

“Burger was quite good, omelet was okay. Got strange looks from what must be locals when we came in. Service was good. Order took a long time to arrive and two tables that came in after us received their food first. Server was much more attentive to the other tables. I wouldn't stop here again on my way through but wouldn't advise you against it.“
