It's got a cool rustic vibe, and the type of service you would expect from a small town. People are friendly and polite, and the food is great. I've had lunches and dinners here, and everything that I've had has been great. I typically sit at the bar and the bartenders are always on point. They even have a lunch card that you can get Puntch to get free food. Definitely try this place. Don't let the reviews stop you.

Hubby got the Cajun shrimp skillet meal, tasty shrimp with rice and coleslaw, and a delicious Parmesan bread. I tried their new special new wild berry iced tea. Very good, not overly sweet, and I had 3 glasses. Jonathan was an excellent server, friendly and attentive. Thanks to Riley and Lorena for the last tea refill.

We had carnitas street tacos, rice, beans, guacamole, and flan. The tortillas and chips are made at the restaurant and are amazing. The guacamole was excellent!

The staff were attentive and personable. Overall it was a great evening out. Would definitely eat here again when passing through the area.

My brother-in-law is obsessed with this place. He talks about it so much you'd think he owns it (he doesn't, but the way he hypes it up, you'd never know). This time, I ordered the filet, medium rare, with hush puppies, a baked potato, and a side salad. Everything was great, though they did bring the steak out medium well instead of medium rare. That was the only small miss, but honestly, it was still really good. The service here is fantastic -- the staff is friendly, quick, and they really make you feel welcome. On top of that, the restaurant has a very cool country vibe. I love the laid-back atmosphere, and the rocking chairs outside are a perfect touch. It's the kind of place where you can just sit, relax, and enjoy yourself. I can definitely see why my brother-in-law can't get enough of it!
