Fried lobster tail
Adam J.

I've only been to Hunter's once. The one time I visited Columbus, GA for a work trip last July. Everybody was raving about Hunter's so, not one to pass up a potentially great steak, I tagged along. Let me say, I visited Japan this February, and went to a high-end Teppanyaki steakhouse where we had top-of-the-line Kobe beef - supposedly the best beef on Earth. It was incredible. I thought to myself: "Is this the best steak I've ever had?" It took me a minute, but the answer eventually became clear: "no, the best steak I've ever had was at Hunter's Pub and Steakhouse." This 12 oz filet, for only $41 is literally the best steak I can ever remember having. Perfectly seasoned and grilled and tender. I've never had better. The lobster tail was pretty damn good too. Nothing else needs to be said. Go here.

Ribeye Steak, sautéed mushrooms, loaded baked potato and bread.

We're back! After a 10 month hiatus we were back camping in the area. I mean, what's a 30 minute drive from West Point for such delicious food??? Since we were a small group of 3 the wait time to be seated was very short. This time we all ordered the Rib-eye - 2 medium and one medium rare... Perfection! The other two had a salad and fries to go with their steaks - I went with sautéed mushrooms and a loaded baked potato. Perfect! Our server, Sarah with an "H", was professional, attentive to our needs and checked on us frequently. Her exuberance and bubbly personality were delightful! She even sang along with me to a song playing in the background - !!! Best of wishes when you begin Law School! I plan on returning in October during my next camping excursion to the area!

Best Steaks. Truly a fabulous hole where the locals line up at the doors for the 5 pm opening. Looks like a shack, but don't let that fool you. Park and go on in, a friendly staff and an amazing casual dinner awaits. Yes, this a steakhouse, but there are some seafood and chicken dishes, plus kid's meals too. Portions are generous with ample parking and folks sitting outside for a table. Bartender yells out a welcome and how many? We lucked out with the last 2 top! Delicious from the petite 8oz filet to the sweet potato fries and the fried green beans! All of it was savory and too much for one person. The seasoning has layers of flavor and the quality of the meat is so tender. Presley, our server, was friendly, efficient and informative. In fact, observing the young staff, they are constantly working with a friendly disposition. Not one had a cellphone out, or were huddled together chit chatting. This is a great team, cleaning tables, greeting guests, and feeding us all. Full bar with a good selection of wines and beers. We didn't have room for dessert but had there been some of Mama Kay's homemade cheesecake, we would have taken a slice for later. Next trip through this area, we will get some.

I've been wanting to go here for years because I heard they have the best steaks around. I was in the area so I stopped by. It's really small and the parking lot isn't sufficient, with numerous cars needing to park along the side of the road. The inside vibe is pretty cool but the music is extremely loud so don't expect to hold a conversation with someone. Service was prompt and friendly. I ordered the Ribeye, baked potato, side of mushrooms and onions and a fried lobster tail. I do not recommend getting the lobster tail. It was my first time ever having a fried lobster tail so I didn't know what to expect. It basically reminded me of a Gordon's Fisherman fish fillet. The baked potato was ok, kind of dry and hard but lots of butter and sour cream helped. The ribeye came out rare and I ordered medium rare. To be fair, it was so loud she might have misunderstood me and I like rare too so I kept it. The amount of fat on the other hand was ridiculous. I just kept having to cut off big chunks of it. I might go back again the next time I'm in the area but I won't be getting a steak.

It's ok. Food is fine if you're a steak lover, but not compared to other places. Service is rushed and underwhelming. Pause and let me ask for what I want. Ambiance: Too loud to talk, too cramped for comfort. Definitely feels like locals like it, just not this one.

petite filet with spinach and sweet potato fries
Jaden O.

So a coworker recommended this place to me, otherwise I never would have stepped foot in the place. From the outside it looks like a small shack, and maybe a tad bit sketchy to me as a young female traveling through alone. But as soon as you open the door, its a great environment. Music and great staff. I quickly discovered that the tiny place gets packed out quick with a line going out the door. Overall great experience. However, I got the peanut butter pie for dessert and would NOT recommend. Not very much PB to it.

About a quarter pound of hamburger per plate with stew tomatoes for the sauce mixed in. Best spaghetti you'll find in a hundred miles

Are they practicing social distancing for tables?

Last time I went a few weeks ago, the inside was unchanged and tables close together with no distancing. There were three tables set up outside that were distanced. Don't know what they are doing for colder weather if it's going to stay like that.…

So it's always first come, first serve and everytime I've tried to come here, it's a 30 min wait. It took about 15 min for the bartender to offer us menus and give us waters/ask for a drink. The drinks were delicious though, I had the Paper Plane. The food was also surprisingly good. Even though there wasn't enough chicken on the chicken Alfredo dish, the sauce was delicious and tasted great. The burger and sweet potato fries were also good.

Both my lunch date and I came from out of town after seeing so many great reviews and hearing how good the food was supposed to be. The restaurant itself was nice and clean, but let's get to the food... I ordered the blackened chicken with mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. Unfortunately, there was NO FLAVOR. I even tried adding the salt and pepper from the table, and it still did not help the taste at all. My lunch date ordered the salmon, mashed potatoes, and brussels sprouts, and unfortunately, their food was just as disappointing. What really surprised me was that after we finished eating, we met several people from the area who talked about how good the food was. We had also seen plenty of positive reviews before making the trip, so maybe we just caught them on an off day. I was disappointed to find out afterward that they have a Sunday brunch menu with a lot more options, including dishes like catfish and shrimp. Even a table of older ladies sitting beside us mentioned wishing they served cornbread--or any type of bread. There were no rolls, biscuits, cornbread...nothing. Personally, I think offering some of those Sunday menu options every day would make the menu much better. I was disappointed after driving over two hours to try this restaurant, but I am willing to give it another chance. However, my next visit will definitely have to be on a Sunday so I can experience more of what the menu has to offer. Everyone's experience is different, and this just happened to be ours.

He ended up ordering whatever the waitress suggested and we ordered the shrimp cocktail while we looked over the menu. The shrimp cocktail was very good. For dinner I ordered the filet with lobster and my husband the Pork shank. My filet came out overcooked but was promptly fixed. The lobster was amazing ! My husband wasn't a big fan of the pork. We did order a cheesecake for dessert that was also really good. Overall our experience was pleasant but food wise not what I'd expected from the other reviews. However the service was great. The owner is so nice and spent time socializing at each table. He even came to make sure my second set of fillets were good to go. Our waitress is also very nice. I can see us trying this place out again. Hopefully on a night they have short rib.

When I search reviews on a business before going, I don't just accept them at face value, but rather, read them and determine if the reviewers are just entitled brats. lol Now that being said: here we go... ha ha This place was the worst experience I can recall with a business in nearly 50 years of life. It was very cold outside, and looking at the online pics looked like it was open-air seating only. So I called them to ensure there was also indoor seating at this cool looking bar. It was 8pm. The man reassured us there were indoor seating options. He then asked "are ya'll coming tonight?" I replied that we were. He then said "how long?" I then asked what time they closed. He replied at 10pm. A little perplexed, I let him know we were on the way. Red flag #1. I told my husband I didn't want to feel rushed out the door if they were trying to close early and didn't really get the vibe they wanted our business. He suggested we just give them a try anyway. When we pulled up, we noticed maybe 3 cars in the parking lot of this very big property. Red flag #2. As we entered the hotel, the gentleman asked us if we called about the bar. We said yes and he directed us to the entrance doors. The entrance was essentially the exit... to the outdoors. HAHA It was approx 40 degrees outside. As my husband and I looked a little perplexed, a female approached where we were standing, never even looked at us or acknowledged us in ANY way and said to the gentleman, "WHAT DO THEY WANT?" He informed her we were there for the bar. We asked where the indoor seating was. Y'ALL... this man took us back in the hotel lobby and pointed at the lobby area. You want us to eat a late dinner and have drinks at this cool looking bar, but in actuality we sit where patrons eat their continental breakfast and are served by someone who has all but said "why are you here?" What?? So... my husband and I said no thank you and went to Cowboy Town which is a very short drive away. Please go there instead. Great food and drinks with a super cool small town vibe, live music, and barrel racing most weekends. Maybe when the weather is warm and the pool is open, The View would be a cool establishment. But it needs to be seasonal only and absolutely closed the remainder of the year. Bless it. I do believe the reviews you see are mostly BS. Please pay very close attention to the details of them.

Now, to get to the food: I love that the oysters rotate and I tried a Blue point (my favorite), Love Shucks, and a queen's cup. Next, we went for the blue crab dip. It's served in a great for sharing cast iron skillet. The dip was delicious, and although the dill chips were nice and crunchy, they were overall way to salty and really detracted from the crab dip. For entrees we opted for the stuffed trout and the grouper bites. The grouper bites were fried perfectly and the succotash that it came on really brought out the flavors. I wasn't a fan of the hash but my mom loved it. Now the star of the meal was the pickled onions on my trout. Wow! Truly elevated the dish in a way I hadn't expected and sounds so basic but was a genius choice. Another standout was our server Christian who was attentive, enthusiastic, and helpful. It's so cool because he's also the voice on ESPN so go check him out!
