    Fraud purchase
    Aranzel T.

    This place fraudulently charged my card for $495 yesterday and I live in California. Tried calling multiple times to get this resolved and no answer. This person is either doing the credit card spoofing or he is helping someone. Bad business and is being reported to the authorities today.

    I came for the Sunday Boujie brunch and boy was it a treat !! The food does take a while to come out, but our waitress Kiya was great ( & it was her first day) . We ordered a spread to share and it was delicious . We also got the bottomless mimosas which they have some awesome flavors that the chef himself makes up so It's something different each time she brings a new glass out. For food we got the Jerk shrimp & Lobster bisque grits, Chef boujee wings , Deep fried salmon bites, elevated candied pepper bacon , & Boujee French toast . Everything was absolutely delicious and worth the wait . The restaurant is a small cottage & it's such a cute laid back ambiance. The chef comes around to talk at times and that k you for coming . He is going to start brunch on Saturdays at some point . Definitely check him out

    This is a vibe! This venue is excellent for dates or gathering with your girls. The atmosphere is serene and the food is chef's kiss. We all ordered the Lobster Bisque Shrimp and Grits. I had to top it off with Bacon and eggs and it did not disappoint. You owe it to yourself to check it out!

    Grits and jerk shrimp

    Food, chef, location and music were amazing. Only issues was the wait time for food was a bit long and the host was bland. We had a great experience for the most part and the chef has a great personality. Definitely will be coming back because it was worth the hour drive.

    The chicken was bone-in, well-seasoned, and crispy, though tenders might have made it a bit easier to eat.

Had to get bloodwork done at 6:30am, so afterwards we were close to here and craving breakfast, so it was a no-brainer to stop in here. Having been born and raised in Mississippi, I am always on the hunt for some good southern homestyle cooking and I for sure found it here. First, everything about the outside and inside of the restaurant reminded me of all the lil mom and pop restaurants I was raised going to. Great nostalgia for me. Now was the food going to live up to what the place looked like?? YES! So I went in craving breakfast and then what did my little eye spy on the menu? An open-faced roast beef sandwich and they service breakfast and lunch all day? Well, yes, please and thank you! Forget brekkie, I went straight for that open-faced roast beef with fried and all of it covered in gravy. OH MY! I'm talking this is the kinda food that (as we say in the Deep South) makes you wanna slap your momma! The bread was piled high with fresh roast beef. The fries were steak fries which are my favorite. The gravy topping everything was just the chef's kiss to set everything off! So many things I want to try on the menu, but I think it's going to be a while before I order anything other than that open-faced roast beef! Hubby had scrambled eggs, toast, hash (his fav brekkie food and he asked for it crispy - they delivered), and breakfast potatoes. He said everything was great and that it's the best hash he's had. I have never been a fan of hash, but I always try it. This has I would definitely eat. It was good. Can't say I'd order it myself because I'm just not a fan, but if this is the breakfast that was served to me, I definitely wouldn't turn my nose up at it. Anyway, two big thumbs up from hubby. Wheelchair friendly. Clean restrooms. Great service from our attentive and sweet server. Food came out very fast. I also much mention the Diet Coke. You know how some are just better from certain fountains? Yes, this was one of those cold fountain Coke's that was just so good. It really hit different. I ordered water as per usual because I try to not drink soda too much, especially while I eat, but hubby mentioned how good it was so, of course I had to try it. He was right. Very good indeed. If you are in the area, don't miss out on this lil restaurant. You will not be disappointed! The only negative thing I can say is they are only open until 3pm on weekdays and only until 2pm on the weekends. Guess that's a good complaint though. LOL Sure wish they were open for dinner too b/c we'd really be eating here a lot!!

Based on our lousy service and our terrible meal, it hasn't been nearly long enough. The food was miserable. How hard can it be to make crisp french fries? And the 'fish' in our fish and chips order was a complete mystery. And did we really have to ask for silverware and a plate? Twice? Tasteless food of questionable quality served incompetently earns the Triple Crown of a just flat-out bad dinner. To be polite, the bartender was a simpleton. He ignored not just us, but also the folks next to us - all of us who were sitting directly in front of him for 20 minutes without acknowledgement nor any eye contact in a mostly empty bar. No wonder there were no customers - combining his complete dearth of service and the trash food being served, it isn't a surprise why this place was empty on a Friday night. We miss Buster. Please take his name off the building. He would never serve the crap that was put in front of us. And Percy woulda run that loser masquerading as a bartender off faster than the diarrhea that hit us when we got home.

In town on a work trip, my husband, and I decided to try this place out! What a wonderful surprise! From the moment you walked in the eclectic, industrial, modernized, warm, cozy feel welcomes you in. Our server was friendly and attentive, and we knew right away that this place was a find! A wonderful happy hour menu, led us to a full menu of what felt like a farm to table experience. I sadly didn't get to snap a photo of the excellent appetizer buratta, but it was a perfect blend of balsamic tomato and creamy cheese! I am a true foodie, and this was hands-down the best burger I've ever eaten. My husband absolutely loved his shrimp and grits, perfectly cooked and well balanced flavor. Well, I know everyone recommends the chocolate cake, I can't rave enough about the crème brûlée. Do yourself a favor and go out of your way to enjoy a " private chef experience" meal! You will be glad you did!

I ordered an espresso martini from one bartender. Another randomly made it without confirming, then absolutely spiraled when I asked about my drink. Instead of clearing it up, he chose public humiliation berating and talking down to me at the bar like I'd committed some unforgivable crime. Full medieval town-shaming energy. Shame bell not included. What were they busy doing instead of their jobs? Flirting with freshly-21 customers and openly staring at their chests. If you weren't new, young, or feeding their ego, you were invisible or worse, a target. Two grown adults behind a bar acting like sloppy, insecure children with alcohol and an attitude problem. No class. No taste. No professionalism. Just embarrassing behavior that would get you fired anywhere that actually cared about standards. Save your money, skip the humiliation, and go literally anywhere else.

One of my favorite things about it is that it hasn't changed much over the years, but in the best way. It's family-run, the vibe is comfortable and familiar, and the staff has always been amazing. We've had countless dinners here with big groups (10+ people), and they deliver every single time. That kind of consistency is rare. What I order every single visit: Salad with house dressing, it's honestly one of my favorite dressings anywhere. Loaded Buckskins - You have to get these. Think a cross between a steak fry and a potato wedge, loaded with cheese and bacon, addictively good. Petite strip steak - Perfect portion, cooked and seasoned just right every time. Simple, consistent, and exactly what you want. They also bring out warm brown bread with your meal that just hits, and a side of applesauce that I've come to think of as the perfect little palate cleanser, such a simple touch, but it makes the experience feel even more classic. This is one of those places that feels like home. No frills, no trends, just really good food, great people, and decades of consistency. This will absolutely be a staple for me as long as I live in Sanford.

At 9pm the parking lot was packed! So we decided to go back Saturday for dinner and we were not disappointed! The ambiance is old school 80's rustic. This is not a fancy overpriced steakhouse... they clearly understand "if it's not broke don't fix it!" It reminded me of that old school spot where you walk in and everyone knows you. We started with some drinks and apps... coconut shrimp and jalapeño poppers. Came out hot and tasty! For mains we had the grilled chicken breast, rib eye, filet and the strip steak. All the proteins came out perfectly cooked, sides were delicious! The homemade peach cobbler was great, I wish it had some more peaches but other than that it was perfect! The service was amazing, our server came back to check on us several times and kept the drinks topped off! I am so happy we stumbled in and I can say we will definitely be back! It was a great meal, good vibes and full bellies!
