It's one of those places where you can relax, enjoy your meal, and feel like you're getting a little extra with the live music and atmosphere. The staff has always been friendly and welcoming, and the overall vibe is easygoing in the best way. It's the kind of place you can bring friends to and know they'll have a good time.

The food is excellent and inexpensive. Have eaten there twice recently, once for lunch and this time for breakfast. Both times the plates were loaded with food. You certainly will not be hungry after a meal at Franks. Ronna treated us like royalty too. See y'all again soon. read more

This review will only be for the weekend Pizza. We have never been, but I kept seeing posts about…read morethe pizza on Sundays. Well, now it is all weekend and we decided to check it out. Driving by it looks like nothing, inside is a large seating area, a bar area and then doors to go to the outside where on the weekends at least there's live music. I took a step outside to get a picture of the pizza oven, what a beauty! I did not know it was the owner, but I asked the guy if I could grab a picture of it and in an Italian accent, he said get a picture from over here you can see inside. Our waitress was very knowledgeable, friendly and fast, And she had some large tables. The pizza was absolutely delicious. I asked the waitress while looking at the menu, I saw that they said some homemade pasta. She told me that they make all their pastas, breads, sauces, and pizza dough on site. We will have to come back and try some other meals, but the wood fired pizza was phenomenal. I had seen this place on the socials, and one time working my way back home when the expressway was shut down...I drove by it, and would've never noticed it if I hadn't known the name. The place is definitely doing the business, but you need to go. It is a hidden gem. One of the better pizzas in the drivable area for sure! The owners are from Italy, need I say anymore. Oh, I almost forgot that they have a nice selection of beers on draft. Seriously, reef donkey for five dollars. It only made the pizza that much better! And the sidenote when you get mushrooms on your pizza, you get a mixture of delicious mushrooms, all fresh, even shiitakes. The red peppers are freshly cut, and the onions are sautéed, which just adds another layer of flavor. And definitely when we go back I am getting some meatball sliders, cause we got meatballs on the one pizza and they were so delicious, just a tender flavorful hold together meatball but not dense! Well, done, my friends! You have a new loyal customer.

However, it is nice that this is conveniently located just off of US 19. That said, this is a great, quick bar type atmosphere with good food. They have a onion appetizer that is similar to the blooming onion at Steakhouse's. It is fabulous. They also have drink specials like a rocket pop during specific holidays and are quite tasty. Conveniently located behind steak 'n Shake in the Publix plaza. Indoor seating is air-conditioned and they have booths, which are nice when you're with family wanting conversation. Outdoor area is shaded and has a TV in a breeze (wish they'd clean up the trash in the retention pond because it takes away from this experience). Still, the food, selection, quality, and drinks special shells have brought us back on occasion.

I asked what that nasty woman's attitude was about. She apologized for the woman's behavior. She didn't delve into it deeper, but she just kept apologizing and I say it was OK. I just wanted somebody to know that you know when you first come into a place you don't be greeted by somebody who looks like they want to rip your face off. But our waitress was very kind and she did go and tell her manager and had a talk with the grouchy woman. The food was very good and so was the service. Our waitress checked on us often and made sure we had everything we needed and our drink 's we're never empty. Even the manager came by each and every table and asked if everything was OK how the food was and we appreciated that attention as well. I recommend Susie's Grill. They do need to finish some repairs but everything was clean. It's a bit of a lively place after they open. When we got there, it was very quiet, but it filled up very rapidly.

I don't know if it was the grease that upset my stomach or I ate something that disagreed with me. I'm not sure. Maybe in a month or so I will go back and give them one more try and be able perhaps to give them a better review or not. The place seem to be popular and had quite a few locals eating. I did find things clean, but I don't know the food kind of made me a little ill. I will give them another chance like I said, and then I will perhaps change my review and add some pictures.

The burger was ordered medium-well, which was actually what the menu recommended, but it came out medium-rare. On top of that, the timing and food handling were disappointing. The wings sat under the heat lamp for quite a while before anyone brought them out, and the burger was delayed because it had accidentally been placed in a to-go box. Unfortunately, the collard greens were also extremely salty to the point that they were inedible. There's clearly potential here because some of the flavors were good, but the execution and kitchen coordination really missed the mark during our visit.
