BTW: there's no draughts here to go with the sprouts and shrimps, just bottles and cans. maybe it's a hill country thing? a glass of water to start with while I take a minute to screw my glasses back together and then out comes my foods as I finish: the sprouts here are a whole other level of ohhh my! even if you don't you should, and then you will because they are. it's a good portion of sprouts roasted and tossed with candied garlics, carrot, and feta. shabangy shrimp was kind of a let down but not a failure; decent pile of shrimps for the money and tasted a'ight - might could have been a little bangier - but I was figuring at least pinkie-sized shrimp, not popcorn because, well, you know... Shabang!! it was trivia night and I knew about half. not sure if that's good or bad but I got my glasses fixed, ate a little something, and then headed back home.

All we saw was what appeared to be a thin crust type, but they looked good. I had Lasagna, it was good, and very hot with a generous amount of gravy. My wife had Ravioli, meatballs and a loaf of bread was served. This fell short of our expectations however, as it was all served cold. We did bring this to the attention of the server, and she offered to take it all back to heat it up it. However, my wife is one who can eat cold food out of a can, so she toughed it out. Besides, to properly warm it up would take some time and I would have finished eating before she started. We were given a 25% discount however, which was appreciated. I appreciate the owners responding and I am confident that this was just a mishap and not a reflection of their normal operation.

They were pretty busy and it was just me and one other person so they sat us at the bar (after asking if it was okay). The bartender, despite having a full bar, was amazing! She was constantly checking in on us and my friend requested that she surprise her with a cocktail and the drink she made was spectacular! We both got the cheese curds for an appetizer and there were so many!!! They were also freaking amazing. The chipotle ranch that came with them wasn't my favorite but was still delish! My friend and I both got the creamy pesto Alfredo penne, I added chicken and she added steak. The serving size was perfect (just enough for a lil bit of leftovers) and it tasted so good. We ended the night with some of the Carolina beignets, which I somehow find myself getting every time I come here because they're so damn good!! They come with a cheerwine reduction on the side Also, got the prickly pear cocktail and it was pretty good! Not my favorite but they do have a super fun, excellent menu of cocktails.

Most dishes were excellent down to the little details. Enjoyed the fried chicken with peanut gravy very much. The oysters on the half shell were really great and the benne crackers that came with them were awesome! My only complaints were the oyster stew/broth and the shrimp and grits. The broth it left me feeling somewhat disappointed. Lacking substance and the missing 18$ left me feeling empty and confused. The shrimp and grits had great flavor but the sauce was more of a soup than a nice thickened pan gravy. Would love to come back and try other options.

I leaned on Yelp recommendations to lead us to HomeGrown. And as usual, the Yelp reviews were spot on! This is a great little spot that easily accommodated our meat-eaters and plant-based eaters alike. Our group of 9 arrived for an early dinner. Thankfully it was pretty empty inside. The lady taking our order patiently answered all of our questions and accommodated everyone's dietary requests. Our food was delivered to us at the table. All of the food was fresh and delicious!

Elegant inside and out, friendly service and top notch food. We sat at the bar and our bartender took care of us all evening. Had one of the best old fashioned's in the area. He knows his stuff! The food was fine dining at its best. A garlic buttered escargot with puff pastry just melts in your mouth. Lobster bisque full of flavor and full of, well, lobster, and a ton of it. I have to say, the extra touch to the tasty French onion soup was a talking point all evening...it came with dedicated scissors so you could cut the cheese. What an amazing touch. And they sure did help lol. The center cut medium rare filet mignon paired with some frites was definitely the showstopper this evening. Thick, tender and juicy...one of the best steaks on all levels. Whenever we're in town and want an elegant evening out, this is the spot!
