“Can’t say enough nice things about this place.I sat at the bar, and the bartender, Kat, was so attentive and gave me awesome recommendations.I had the pasta with dill cream sauce. I am not a huge fan of salmon, so I subbed blackened chicken. It was amazing! If you’ve never tried dill sauce I highly recommend it.I also had a blackberry bourbon smash drink. Not sure if that’s the name, but it was also fantasticIt seems like there is also a positive working environment there for the employees, which I think speaks volumes for the type of people who own this place. Great job!“

“4 of my vacation days I came here for a meal. Do not hesitate to stop in at this restaurant. The welcoming smiles and the extreme politeness of the staff was such a pleasure to experience. The food is impeccable. I will miss this place when family moves and I can not vacation here but if I ever come back I will be stopping.“

“Wonderful comfort food location to have a sit down meal. Did not try any of the drinks, but the sweet tea is really good. Two appetizers we ordered were the Biscuits for a Cause and the Fried Green Tomatoes. The biscuits have changed recently, so most photos do not represent what they look like (and I devoured them before I remember to snag a photo). They’re much smaller and the waitress was courteous enough to let us know they have reduced in sizes and mentioned they lowered the price as well. Despite the change, the biscuits were delicious. The jam and butter were delicious separate and mixed together. I ordered the smothered chicken with baked Mac and cheese, and Brussels sprouts. I really only enjoyed the Brussels sprouts through and through. The gravy on the chicken was the highlight of the main dish. I took one bite of my Mac and cheese and didn’t enjoy the texture of the noodles and cheese. There was also not much flavor to constitute the “baked” portion of baked Mac and cheese. The potatoes they serve are magnificent. I highly recommend the potatoes if you go. Aside from that minor setback, the service was great. The atmosphere is nice, could be a totally good dress up and go out place or a casual meal after shopping around. I would highly recommend eating here.“

“I did take out so I cannot comment on atmosphere. I can tell you that the personnel answer the phone at this restaurant. If there are questions, you can speak to someone even the owner. My baked chicken and potato salad was very tasty. Others in my party ordered the turkey wings which I was told were delicious and especially tender.“

“I enjoyed my meal here and did not get any complaints from the kids! I ordered a jalapeño burger and it was delicious. The herbs inside the burger was nice. I wanted to try an appetizer and they were out 😑 otherwise it was a nice restaurant and staff was nice as well.“
