My sweet tea was delicious and not over poweringly sweet as most of them are down south. The strawberry lemonade was great as it was sour not sweet and they use real strawberries for the syrup nothing artificial. I ordered their southeastern burger which was so good the bbq sauce and the crispy onions and burger and cheese all paired so perfectly. The spiral fries were extremely crispy and well salted. Thw bbq sandwich was equally as delicious if not better and paired with sweet potato spiral fries and a caramel dipping sauce OMG amazing. We were so full but managed room for dessert as their ice cream is made fresh in house. The roasted banana and strawberry are absolutely amazing. I cannot say enough good things about all the food and the staff here!

Both spoke exceptionally about this place so we figured we had to give it a shot. Not gonna lie though, it kinda let me down. We had to wait forever for our food and while the food was pretty good, it was overshadowed by the long wait time honestly. Service was pretty good and environment was unique with old-time feel and the unique color of the restaurant. Overall decent 3/5.

It's a humble restaurant, the inside isn't going to wow you - cabin like appearance and very simple seating. And you can smell the smoke as you pull up. Nothing new here in ages other than the very humble banquet hall that has just popped up. Your mind will drift back to an earlier time where a rail side bbq restaurant pops up to feed the locals. I honestly can't imagine ever going back to the big city for a "culinary experience" as long as I have eating options like this. Bon Appetit / happy eating, yelpers!

The waitress was attentive to our needs. Restaurant has a great view sitting on the river, and then you order your meal, and everything changes into a train wreck. The chef was probably named salty. Prices were expensive and the food was awful. The first appetizer was horrible have no way of describing it. Maybe Rancid word be a good word. The second one bought out was so salty that I thought there was no salt left in the kitchen, served with hard salty chips. I was wrong! Crab cakes came in all their splendor. Salty and dry very little taste at all. Fell into a crumbly mess once my fork entered the picture, served with a rice pilaf dry and hard. A vegetable medley lay at the side of the hockey puck sized crab cakes. To end the night I ordered a bread pudding to go and it turned out to be a pound cake with a sauce and whipped cream. Well if you like salt and a meal to remember this is the place for you. I'll spend my next dinner out else where. To improve they need a chef that knows how to use herbs instead of the salt shaker, how to make a salad, and how to make a presentation of the food prepared. Even if it's bad it should at least look edible.
