A majority of the dining area is not within the main house but within an added on area in the front. Their entrees are very approachable and reasonably priced. The only slightly ghetto experience while coming here was when they brought out the lunch special sign (a dry erase board) on a music stand and set it next to the table for a few minutes. Their entrees for lunch are heartier than just the handhelds and generally include a soup or salad, a potato and a veggie. Of course, the pasta I chose doesn't include a potato or a veggie, only a soup or salad. I picked the veal parmesean with a french onion soup. My colleagues and client ordered the single pork chop, cajun chicken (2 breasts) and the stuffed shrimp. Everyone loved their meals, especially my client who loved the shrimp. My veal was pretty good and typical. Overall, this is one of the nicer restaurants for sure in town, and it's owned by the same folks that also own another nice restaurant, Galo's.

I had the meatloaf, roasted potatoes, and mixed vegetables which contained squash and snap peas, and the entire meal was just delicious. My husband had the fettuccine Alfredo and of course it was delicious also. I always get a piece of key lime pie to take home because it's just beyond amazing. Our waitress was amazing and friendly, as was the entire staff. Definitely make a trip.

This is a fabulous hidden gem with quality product at a very reasonable price!

Hubby & I tried this place for the first time along with my son. We perused the menu while waiting…read moreon our soft drinks. The service was attentive & polite. The ambiance is a turn of the century brick firehouse. Hubby & I ordered the Firehouse Sampler ($34.95) with 2 sides (mac n cheese, scalloped cabbage). My son got the Pulled Pork ($14.95) with 2 sides (mac n cheese, green beans). Both of these meals needed garlic bread served with them. There were 3 made in-house bbq sauces & they were all bland. Sadly, there was no Carolina gold bbq sauce. The meat was good but a little dry. Of the 3 sides we tried, the green beans were the best. I would like to return & try something on the Handhelds menu. I need bread with my bbq meat!

You have an experience that will please any pallet. I love it that they have three different barbecue sauces for you to choose from, Hot, sweet and mild. To me it lets you choose the flavors you like because one has a little more of a brown sugar taste and the other has a little more of a vinegar taste. I like to dip my sandwich. I got the visit in the evening and introduce a friend from Michigan to one of my favorite restaurants. He was so happy with a brisket. There is so much history and so many cool things to read on the walls. The decor is charming and it's an awesome place to sit and have a beer and catch up with a friend afterwards. It's my favorite for lunch and dinner in the depot district.

The food tasted authentic, and every entrée was well prepared. They offer a great variety of curries, all of which were rich, flavorful, and satisfying! The lamb curry was especially good. The meat was tender and delicious. My only wish is that there had been a little more lamb in it! I also tried the garlic naan. It was good, but it wasn't quite as good as the best garlic naan I've ever had, which was served steaming hot, extra buttery, and packed with a strong garlic flavor. The complimentary mango drink was a nice touch and tasted great. They also offer ice cream for dessert. I tried the Campfire S'mores flavor as well as the Chocolate Brownie Pretzel flavor, and both were a perfect way to end the meal. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and even has what appears to be a private dining area in the back. The weekday lunch buffet is available until 2:30 p.m., and on weekends it's served until around 4:00 p.m. The weekend buffet is $16 per person. The buffet is a great value considering the quality and variety of the food. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back!

I'm glad there's a solid Thai restaurant in town…read more I ordered the Khao Soi with chicken and tofu. It's a curry noodle soup featuring soft noodles in a flavorful curry broth, topped with crispy noodles. My meal also came with a plate of white rice and a small bowl of broth with rice. I enjoyed the Khao Soi overall. The curry was flavorful and buttery. However, it was a little more watery than I prefer, and while it was good, it wasn't quite as good as the best Khao Soi I've had elsewhere. I also would have preferred traditional egg noodles instead of the wider white noodles used here. One thing I would have liked to see was more vegetables. There was certainly no shortage of carbs--I ended up with both rice and noodles left over. The small bowl of broth was tasty, but I'm not used to having rice soaking in it. Personally, I would have preferred vegetables as a substitute for the rice since the dish already came with plenty of carbs. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would be happy to return when I'm craving Thai food.

When we (5 of us) first sat down we waited about 10 minutes without a server stopping by so I went to the front and asked that we get 2 crab ragoon plates. Another 10 minutes later and I again went to the front and asked if our server would stop by and take our order. (Still no crab ragoon) Once we ordered our dinner the crab ragoon came out. There was 4 to a plate, well prepared and delicious, Next the dinners. First one plate. Then more than 10 minutes later 2 more but delivered without rice. Next one more plate and the rice for the other 2. I had the red curry with tofu. A really good curry but the tofu was mushy. My SO had the red curry with chicken. We both ordered a level 4 out of 5 and it was what I would call mild. It's an independent restaurant that makes very good Thai food but it lacks in servicing.

Hubby ordered 2 grilled pork chops with homemade mac n cheese ($2.99 up charge) & green beans. I got a catfish sandwich with pickles & onions and my side of choice was Italian cream soup. The server came out after about 10 minutes & said it would be a few more minutes as pork chops take extra time to cook. I wondered why she didn't bring me my soup. Within 5 minutes, our food came out & it looked good. There were copious amounts of pickles & onions on my sandwich but the package of tartar sauce tasted awful. It only takes 3 minutes to make homemade tartar sauce! Hubby loved his food. I sampled it & it was delicious. His green beans were fresh (not canned) & had bits of onions & ham. My sandwich was okay. The soup was good & tasted homemade. We would eat here again.
