We both ordered off the specials menu, my wife got the scallops and I got jambalaya. The scallops were cooked to perfection not over cooked. The jambalaya had half a lobster tail, shrimp, clams, squid, mussels and andouille sausage over dirty rice. It was very good. For desert we shared the apple crisp à la mode which was killer but don't think you can eat one by yourself, it's big! Our waitress Kara was awesome and attentive all night. The drinks we had were good too we both had the blueberry bees knees and then expresso martinis with the desert. If you e never been here it is truly a hidden gem.

OK for 1 visit.

I ordered an appetizer of a pound of Chicken Wings ($15) in their Sweet and spicy. It's a good thing they are served by pound rather than how many, because they are pigeon wings. That being said they were good. Nice and tender and very tasty. Not that spicy either. The main reason I came was I heard they have an excellent steak. So I ordered the 12 oz Big Ugly Steak ($36). It came out as two 6 oz strips. The steaks are aged to perfection. I really enjoyed this steak. I came in with high expectations and it was met. I got a house salad that was very fresh and also excellent. My other side was mashed potatoes and these did not disappoint either. The service was super friendly. The table still needed cleaning, so maybe slightly understaffed, but they cover really well. Overall a 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely!

What an awesome find! The Owner was so kind to our 7yr old pouting daughter (don't even know why…read moreshe was pouting). He worked to cheer her up and told us the story of his place and about the area. He even suggested a little farmers market around the corner that had the BEST Carmel Apples! I would come back just for that. The food was amazing. Ribs were perfectly tender but not mush. Little bit of bite and right off the bone. Great smoke and lots of flavor. $36 for a full rack of St.Louis ribs and it was huge. Deal! I will absolutely come back for Brisket some Friday. Worth driving to from GR

This is Crispy rangoon pockets filled with fried duck bacon blended with sweet corn and cream cheese inside a fried wonton. Served with spicy honey. This was one of the best thing's I've eaten in years. They are absolutely delicious. I also ordered their 3 Meat Smoker Bbq combination ($40). I got Ribs, Brisket, and Smoked Wings. Served with baked beans, potato salad, and corn bread. The Ribs werd delicious. Tender and very tasty. The brisket was very good. The wings were good, but small. I got the Bourbon sauce and their Bbq sauce. The Bourbon sauce was excellent and the bbq sauce was tasty, but I definitely preferred the bourbon sauce. The baked beans were excellent. I'm a little bit of a baked bean snob, and these pass my test. The potato salad was okay, but I didn't finish it. The Cornbread was also excellent! The service was were this place failed brilliantly. I walked in and was ignored by the older lady who was having a slow conversation with another customer and didn't even acknowledge me. I decided to use the restroom. When I came out there was a girl on the phone for 5 minutes for someone making a reservation. Again didn't even acknowledge me. Their was the older lady standing back by the bar, looked like either an owner or manager, just having a conversation with another employee the entire time. Just ignoring me. Finally a waitress walked up after waiting way too long and asked If I'd been helped. After being seated it took almost 10 minutes to get served. The place wasn't even 50% full, so there was no excuse. After finally ordering the service was hit or miss. Okay for a little bit then absent again. When I was actually served it was very friendly. I was considering ordering one of their new shakes, but with the absentee service a d her nit even asking if I wanted dessert, I decided against it. Overall the rating is difficult. The food and atmosphere definitely deserve a 5. The service was so bad the rating should be a 3 at best. However considering those Wontons I'll give the place an iffy 4 star review! Would I return? If only for the Wontons than an absolute yes.

The first choice was unavailable, then the second, then the third. After joking with our server that if the fourth beer wasn't available she should just bring us both Cokes, she returned to let us know that one was unavailable as well. To her credit, she did bring the Cokes!! After placing our order, there was a lengthy wait before any food arrived. We were at the restaurant far longer than expected for a meal consisting of soup, salad, and a steak dinner. Unfortunately, much of the food was barely warm, and some items that should have been served hot were cold. My husband ordered the porterhouse steak with French onion soup, waffle fries, and coleslaw. I ordered the fried goat cheese salad and onion petals. The waffle fries and onion petals were cold when served. When our server checked on us, we politely mentioned the issue. The waffle fries and onion petals were remade, but while the fries came back hot, the onion petals were still cold. Beyond that, there was little effort made to address the rest of the meal or improve the experience.

Unlike the cold and uninviting one we initially stepped into further north on the same side of the street. We found a high top table near the bar and were greeted by an amazing server. His attitude and friendly demeanor MADE this place! I can't say enough about him, even though I can't remember his name. The food was delicious! We had the Hooves and the Club Wrap. They were both very good but the Hooves will be my go to when we return. This things was huge! See the menu photo for the details. The Club Wrap was good as well but had a bit too much mayonnaise. The ladies said it could have used a touch of ranch to give it that extra kick. Did I say go to this place? Go! On a side note, there is a separate family seating area if the bar scene isn't your thing.

The bar is super nice they do have bar seating to where you can watch a football game while enjoying a beer. Their food is fantastic I absolutely love their fried pickle wraps that's the first time I have seen those anywhere and I have yet to find anywhere else that sells them and can make them as good as they do. Their flavored teas are also really good they use grenadine so you get all that flavor packed into it.
