Amongst three people, we got the 9pcs assorted premium appetizer, tour family platter with 12 oz ribeye, and the moqueca to share. It was honestly plenty of food to go around and everything was so delicious. I was pleasantly surprised by how juicy both the pork chop and grilled chicken were (they're both not usually my proteins of choice). Nevertheless, the best protein was undoubtedly the ribeye, followed by the picanha. The polenta squares from the appetizer sampler were so amazing and I wish we had ordered more of that! We got 3 different types of sauces (chimichurri, garlic mayo, and a guava-based one)-- our favorite was the chimichurri. Highly recommend to stop by this place for dinner! I also had their passion caiprinha and it was awesome too!

The restaurant has several dining rooms which gives it an intimate vibe. Although the restaurant was very busy, we were provided with bread and drink promptly and our order was taken. The Buffalo Chicken dip was amazing both my wife and I loved. For our main course we both had the Lobster Tail Alfredo which was excellent. Our server recommended Our Dog Blue wine with the meal based on our preference for sweet wine, it was an excellent pairing. Through out the meal we were tended to several times. Thank you to all staff for making this a special Valentine's celebration.

No one called that day to let us know. We drove an hour and 45 mins to get there. They wanted us to eat in room that was over 85 degrees!! This was our first time at this restaurant and first impressions was pretty horrible based on the prices they want to charge. the furniture in the waiting room looked like it came out of a frat house! Stained and just nasty looking. The smell when you walked in was extremely unpleasant. Musty and molding and like something died. Not what you want when going to a place to eat. Personally this is an ethic issue on the part of the management or owners. The belief that they could get us there and we would stay because of how far out they are..well that didn't happen. They will never get a penny from me. Such a shame for a place that could do so much better. I would give no stars but you have to leave at least one.

Inside is clean rennovated and comfortable restaurant with some of the best food you will eat. The staff is outstanding as the food.

An A+ place to eat.

Looks can be deceiving.

But don't let any of that keep you from stopping at Dino's if you're looking for a good, home-cooked style breakfast. We don't recommend the iced tea, which may have been instant (a no-no in the South), but the scrambled eggs, hash browns, and bacon were delicious, as were the bacon skillet and the Denver omelette. I'm always wary of restaurant bacon, but this was some of the best I've ever eaten. Crispy, cooked perfectly--the best part of my meal. My spouse went to the restroom, where he couldn't find a light switch and had to take his chances using it with the door ajar, so take a flashlight if you need to use the facilities. Overall, the ramshackle building is not appealing but what's most important is the food, and we were pleased with ours. Will go back to try dinner sometime.

A small covered stage area for live music, walk up counter food service. I had the street tacos, a plate of three well prepared bean and cheese veggies tacos with mushrooms. Flavorful and filling, they hit the spot the night of my visit. Not fancy but good, fresh guac, pico and salsa, with a side of rice. My group grabbed a large table and half a dozen chairs.

The outside is an unassuming brick building, kinda in the middle of nowhere. The inside is quaint, like a small Cracker Barrel with nostalgic knick-knacks around the walls. Server was absolutely amazing and the people are very friendly. But, the star of the show is the food that the back of the house prepares. Pizza was great, wood fired and perfectly crispy. Airline chicken caprese was a special and had roasted chicken, parmesan pepper grits, mozzarella with sun-dried tomatoes and sweet potato and kale stir fry. Crispy skin on the chicken, moist on the inside. Grits were peppery and creamy. Cheese was fresh and cold with the tangy tomatoes and then add the sweetness of the sweet potato....hits all the parts of a palate. The kitchen is locked in, firing on all cylinders and doing it right! Creative, fresh and perfectly executed. Please do yourself a favor and try this place. We will continue to return!

This week was different- I ordered the special for the night, a tasty fish dish. I am on a keto diet. The fish came topped with slaw. I was supposed to order " a carb" so I asked for more green beans. They said I already had a vegetable ( slaw). And that I couldn't have green beans. I love their green beans. But that was that - the waiter remained firm. So my plate came looking a little bare ( white fish fillet with slaw on top). I had not had that happen before. It annoyed me!
