You HAVE to try the burgers. It's cooked perfectly, so incredibly juice, toppings are flavored so so well. Sauces are fire.

Wife had the lamb chops and I had the BBQ platter. Lamb chops were good, but the BBQ platter was so much better, side order of Mac N cheese and the cole slaw was very good. Love the corn bread, and the Ribs, 1/4 chicken, turkey- pulled pork and brisket? (Excellent). To top off, Bella recommended the corn bread pudding, but we opted for the peach cobbler- she never tried it, so we told her to grab a spoon and try it... she loved it too! Glad we could widen your taste buds. Spoke with the manager, and he was so very friendly. Highly highly recommend this place... even the runner/(forgot his name- sorry sir-) was so very pleasant and they're all locals who work there. (He too did an excellent job). Very clean, very nice inside... nice tvs at the bar, beer on tap, and their menu is very diverse and much to chose from- if we're back in that area, which we should be, we're coming back, most definitely even if it's an excuse, we really enjoyed our time there!

Short answer: Yes! Would recommend!…read more Long answer: Came to celebrate 2 birthdays and was sat at "the chefs table" which is a high-top table right in front of the kitchen. It was just too hot sitting there and also noisy from the kitchen and orders being called out, etc. Asked (I think) the manager, Amanda, if there's any way we can move to another table cause we are just sweating and wouldn't be able to survive through dinner, haha! We also had our 83 year old grandma there so we were even more concerned for her well being. Amanda was accomadating with offering us a different table as long as we could finish in 90 minutes. I told her I'll take it! She felt bad for the time limit also, but I told her I appreciate her accommodation even more. The food and drinks turned out great and the service was superb along with a unique ambiance! Definitely recommend!

Disappointing for both of our dishes. When I asked for the vinaigrette instead, I was told there was no alternative and "they didn't offer discounts" which was odd as I didn't ask for one.

This has a nice restaurant vibe - nice tables, tablecloths, art on the walls, good lighting, nice, quiet carpeted spaces. There is a lot to like. We made a reservation, were greeted at the door and then promptly seated. Water came out quickly, along with the menus and the wine list. The wine list was a bit light in that all the bottles were typically lower cost. With such a wide variety of food on the menu, it deserves a bit more depth and some better wines to be included. Not that the wines that were included were bad - they were not. They are just at the very low entry end of the market. Picking up a few from Justin, Stag's Leap, and others in the $80 range would help enhance the restaurant's list. We both ordered entrees, which came with the either soup or salad - we both elected to get salads, where I selected a Caesar and my wife had a standard salad. The Caesar had plenty of parmesan cheese and croutons. The dressing was a bit thin - traditional Caesar dressings are cream based, this one seemed to be light on the garlic and anchovies. No anchovies were available, so it's kind of a light "Caesar." The regular salad my wife had was good - she enjoyed it. For the main course, I ordered their Filet Mignon, medium rare with a baked potato. The server asked if I wanted butter and sour cream, which I did and which was provided. The filet is provided in a cabernet reduction. This may have been a bit much, it was hard to taste the filet with the reduction. The filet came with broccoli which was steamed and was nicely done. The baked potato was cooked through (as expected, and worked well with the butter and sour cream. My wife enjoyed her Shrimp and Grits - the shrimp was cooked quite nicely and seasoned well. We were concerned about the meal size, so we skipped an appetizer, and it was a good thing since she took half of her shrimp and grits home. We were not rushed out of our table, and had a good time.
