    A great environment! Small, but quaint! The regulars welcome you in and the bartenders are super friendly.

    Good quiet little private bar. The prices are fair. Could use a good boost in ambiance but besides that I love it.

They arrived and were coned nicely and had a great taste. (Still no silverware or napkins) we asked for napkins of course at this point because our hands are sticky. Food came. Burger was missing lettuce (easy fix) he said his steak was cooked PERFECTLY (still no silverware) I requested more mayo and more dressing (still no silverware) we realized there wasn't any silverware when he wanted to cut into the steak. So we had to request silverware. Back to the steak.... Cooked PERFECTLY..... zero seasoning. Added a little salt and requested steak sauce and the steak was demolished. My wales saw my water getting low and said she was coming with more water. I finished my water she came by and asked if we needed anything.... Water please. With a few adjustments to the obvious (having silverware at the table when seating customers, and keeping a real eye out for drinks) this place might be alright. The servers were pleasant and the place wasn't crowded at all. A total of 4 other parties were in and out during our visit.

I got the double smash patty burger Carolina style (slaw,chili, mustard, onion). Super messy but oh so good! Others in my group got a create your own with pulled pork and slaw and another person got the catfish special with mac and cheese. We also had the loaded tots and southern egg rolls as an appetizer. The food was exceptional except for one thing. Although the catfish crust was amazing and perfect texture, the catfish itself was really watery inside the breading. Other than that, it was all great! The loaded tots were also great. Forgot to take a pic BEFORE we started digging in but you can see the gist in the photo. They're so good! The southwestern egg rolls, although fantastic, are not like they are at most places. They have pulled pork and veggies with them and comes with a Thai chili sauce on the side. Just something to note. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was lively as always!

Up until our last visit everything has been delicious and we have not been disappointed once... Well this last visit I ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich again, (because it was so good the first time!), I don't know if they changed the chicken they use or what but the chicken had a snappy texture that no properly cooked chicken should ever have. I was immediately turned off and could not eat it. I'm hoping it was a one off experience and that next time will be better. All this said, we will be back again and hope for the best!

I also happened to be there for Music Bingo night, which was fun! As for the food, it was a bit of a mixed bag. The fries were great actually. Very crispy, well-seasoned, and exactly what you want with fries. Sadly, the chicken tenders, were a tad overdone and a little on the dry side. Their breading was good though. That being said, the vibes, the beer selection, and the entertainment are top-notch. I'll definitely be back for another round of Mango Cart since I know they serve it well!

On this weekday during happy hour, we had a bad experience unfortunately. Our server was amazing though! Giving her props for her friendly demeanor and great service. Drinks were also cold and refreshing. Where it turned sour: our Chef's Special appetizer plate. The mozzarella sticks were hollow. Not just thin, but completely hollow with no cheese, just an outer shell. The "beef" empanadas had no beef inside. Again, mainly hollow with only a little cheese inside. Overcooked and almost impossible to chew. They were also out of some pickled items that were supposed to be on the plate, and they substituted some old strawberries, which definitely did not complement anything on this plate. We were here for a full meal, but we stopped here and did not order our main courses. ***MOST IMPORTANTLY*** Some employees were engaging in activities inside the establishment, which are not conducive to a restaurant in any capacity. A call will be made to management and/or the owner(s). We're highly hopeful this is a one-off experience and these issues will be rectified going forward. We love this place. We've had amazing food and evenings out with friends and family here. We want to be back, and I would love to update this review in the near future.

    These ribs were absolutely outstanding, perfect cook. Came off the bone easy but didn't just straight up fall off.

The ambiance was beautiful. The food and wine here were absolutely amazing! I ordered the Parmesan Crusted Mahi Mahi and the Classic Tomato Bruschetta. The Mahi Mahi was so juicy and tender. The Parmesan crust made it that much better! It also was covered in lemon butter with crispy capers. The best lemon butter ever. Don't let me forget Mary potatoes, they were grand and amazing. My husband ordered Dana's Parmesan Crusted Chicken. He said it was fantastic, great crisp and fork tender. It came with a tomato basil relish, along with lemon butter sauce, Betty's potatoes and garlic green beans. He raved about his meal:) Our appetizers were drunken shrimp (without bacon). It came with a tequila lime butter sauce with fresh guacamole. It was so flavorful and savory.We also had the Classic Tomato Bruschetta. Omg, this was awesome! The taste was out of this world. It was the perfect dish. Of course, I had to indulge in a flight! The flight I purchased was called Bubbles. All 4 champagnes tasted superb:) Definitely try out their flights!  Customer service was the best. Morgan, made sure we had what we needed. She was great at making us feel at home. We also met Monica, the General Manager. She was super hospitable and extremely professional! I highly recommend this restaurant for the food & wine:)
