The shrimp and grits with pimento cheese was one of the best dishes I've had all year. The pimento cheese was the icing on top because it wasn't too salty and kicked the dish up a notch. There are about 5 or 6 decent sized shrimp that are not overcooked. Don't forget to try a biscuit. Get a biscuit. Or get three!! The best part of my entire meal was the service.

I am from out of town, but I came looking for a workspace and wanted to grab lunch while I was there. I came around 1 PM and there was a 30 minute wait for 2 for lunch, but have no fear. We just went upstairs to the martini bar and were able to wait and work. We were seated in the garden for lunch, which are mostly cute high tops. Before we even began our meal, a fat adorable white rabbit crossed our path. Then an equally beautiful black rabbit crossed our path. I had no idea there was wildlife just prancing around and I was giddier than a little kid. (There are also ducks and geese who run around!). Now to the food: Had to get the smash burger because it was award winning and boy it did not disappoint! The depth of flavor and the juiciness of the patties were impeccable. I opted for guda cheese instead of cheddar, and I added grilled onions, and this was an excellent choice. The fries are super crispy and the comeback sauce is perfect for dipping . Don't judge us, but we also shared some desserts. The standout was the white chocolate cheesecake, which was sweet but not super indulgent. I would definitely skip the crepe next time. The description made it sound delicious. But overall, it was lacking in a flavor. It was by far the most disappointing dish of the day. Even though it takes a while for food to come out service is impeccable, and the servers are just so lovely, so be patient. I will definitely make the Botanic my go-to establishment when I'm in town!

We were visiting friends in Seale Alabama from Jacksonville Florida and they know I am very…read moreparticular about restaurants and have a very limited diet. Dining is an experience and my hobby my husband says. We indulge most nights in many great restaurants all around us or when we frequently travel. I want to start by saying my friend chose this space well! Though it was about a 40 minute drive from their house it was worth it. The venue, grounds, market, dining areas, etc. are all truly a delight. I cannot believe a place like this exists in this area. We started with adult beverages and the amazing complimentary bread with an assortment of butter options. For appetizers, we ordered the pimento cheese and corn ribs (forgot to photograph). Both were delicious! For entrees, the ladies had the pasta dish with my friend adding the shrimp. I am a vegetarian so I did it without any protein. It was very good. The men had the filets with the sides and found them to be cooked properly. The pros were as follows: Beautiful venue/spaces Delicious food The market had some nice shopping gifts to pick up for souvenirs and pastries for breakfast the next morning The cons: We were supposed to be at an inside table and they said that was not the case once we arrived and it was way too hot outside and the flies were terrible. I felt as if they should have accommodated us as we still waited 30 minutes to be seated despite her making reservations weeks ago. That really put a damper on the experience. Their corkage fee to bring your own wine is $40 per bottle. I take my own wine to every restaurant I go to and have never paid $40 even at much higher end places. The waitress was nice but loud and forgetful. We asked for things multiple times and never did get some of the requested things. They do offer lunch and dinner and the menus are a bit different. They focus on fresh produce from local farmers and some they grow there. If you are within a 30 minute drive, I would suggest going as there is not much in that area that compares according to our friends. There are multiple dining spaces so make sure you choose where you want to dine and confirm that. There are multiple bar options as well.

When you see a non-chain place talking about country food and BBQ, that's a sign to stop. I knew it'd be pretty good. This is the sort of establishment where you pay the entry fee ($13) and grab a plate. They had real collard greens, turnip greens, fried okra, and grits. These weren't overcooked and salty canned greens either. It's the good stuff. I probably had a plate with just the veggies it was so good. Fried chicken was similar. Real, authentic fried chicken. They also had fried pork and other meats. And, as their name implies, several different bbq options. With all that said, not everything was perfect. Obviously, as a buffet, they have some cheaper and lower quality things too. But, there's enough good stuff to be worth a try. I'm a thin guy. But, if I had access to this buffet on a regular basis, that might change. It was good. So, if you are in the area and hungry, give it a try!

We placed the order over the phone and waited for about 15-20 minutes before heading to get the order. When I got there, the order wasn't ready. They haven't even started cooking the food, which was confusing. I stayed patient, but also asked if they cooked to order? They responded by saying, NO. There were only three guests inside eating, so I dont know why I waited an additional 15 mins for the food. One of the ladies stated that she put an extra tender in the boxes. As small as they were, we should have gotten more than one extra lol. Also asked for the special sauce, and when I got back to my sister, there was only one in the box.
