In town with extended family. We asked locals for a gluten free option restaurant that would…read moreimpress. Oh it did! Old school woodsy vibe - typical of BBQ joints in the south. The menu is gigantic. They run out some meats on weekends. We were victim of this when 3 of us ordered steak and someone took the last one. We almost had to get up and hunt them down! Just kidding! For our gluten free eater, this place was big hit. He had multiple choices and most importantly didn't get sick the next day. My meat combo platter was filling. The meats were amazing. Portion sizes were great. I was most impressed by this corn off the cob with some sauces. It was incredible! Prices were also reasonable.

Bar seating and additional high top seats set back from the bar, along with tables and lots of TVs. We grabbed a table and got in our drink orders. They don't have a wide variety of beer and distilled spirits, but it's ample. Our food came out in short order and was fantastic! My wife got a Mushroom Burger and I got the Steak Philly. It was REAL steak, and may heave been the best I've ever had. My wife's burger was also great, and had lots of shrooms. Fries (and sandwiches) were all hot and fresh. Service was great and prices are very reasonable. Definitely recommended.

I had the loaded mushroom burger and my wife had the Swiss burger. Prices were very reasonable, large portions, great taste, pool bar vibe and great service. I highly recommend. Also check out their steak. It looked incredible even though we didn't have it. FYI, they have steak specials, and daily specials that looked great.

The only reason I had to take a star is that we cannot recommend dining in and want to give that heads up to fellow travelers. We were stopping through town on our way to see family and thought it would be easier to dine in with our toddler than taking it back to our air b n b. It was small but there were a handful of tables set up for dining in so we thought it would work ok. But when we came in and asked about dining in we were given a bugged-eyed look and they echoed, "dine in?!" But they said sure and pick a seat. It takes a bit to make me uncomfortable and doubt a person but this was not welcoming. We sat down and when our 2 year old wanted our menu, we asked for a second one and got an attitude from the same person again. At that point I threw in the towel. I can't enjoy my meal with someone questioning every single thing we did or said, especially with an unpredictable toddler. So we put in our order and left. My husband had to go back to get it. So just a fair warning to other families to be prepared for a possibly awkward dine-in experience. They also do not have high chairs - they do have booster seats but they do not buckle down. We for sure would order here again but would plan to carry-out only.
