Awesome, so I risked a Painkiller cocktail even though the Rum selection here is lower shelf. Well, I had two and they were darn good. I also must call out the French onion burger as top notch, easily top tier burger in the area. Quality costs a bit more but it is worth every penny. Great Job !!!

It was a dollar up charge for a side of ranch, which she didn't tell us about. I had a side salad and it was good. It is a dollar up charge from the other sides. Friend had the pasta salad and said it was good. Her hubby had the coleslaw and it was OK. It probably bothers me more than my husband, but she comes and picks up our dishes and even had the bill ready while my husband was still eating. You might have a chance to sell another drink if you took your time. The place was not overly busy. All in all, it was a nice place to go on the smash burgers were terrific!

We were initially curious how loud the street would be but were pleasantly surprised it wasn't loud. There was music playing at a good volume too. I could not decide what I wanted to order so I asked the waitress to choose for me. She thought that was a fun option and said she'd definitely go with the Sunset Smash and Fries. The only change I made was no pickles. My friend wanted as many pickles as they'd give her so we got mine on the side for her to have. Wow, was that Sunset Smash burger and fries good! The burger was juicy, tender, flavorful, honestly just delicious! The fries were thick with just the right amount of crisp and salt. Our waitress continued to appropriately check in on us as we ate and chatted. The only thing I'd love to be different is for our kids to be able to come. It's minors only and I know we'd all love the food there. Definitely coming back!

My husband and I had our wedding at Emerald Hills in May 2019. From the beginning of the whole…read morewedding planning process in the fall of 2018, Abby, Travis, and the Emerald Hills team were so kind, helpful, and accommodating. They paid very close attention to the details of our vision for our wedding day, were eager to lend super helpful advice, and truly advocated for us when communicating with different vendors throughout the 8 months of planning. Their booking package comes with so many inclusions; there's no need to track down rental tables, table linens, bartenders, recommended vendors, or a bunch of extra hands to help out on wedding day - they had all of these taken care of AND MORE! The beauty and accommodations of the venue & land surrounding the venue were just a cherry on top of the incredible service they provided to us. We heard all night long that it was the most beautiful venue our guests had ever been to, and got just as many compliments on the quality of the staff. They're wonderful and show a ton of integrity. (For example, one of our guests left their watch at the venue. Instead of making anyone drive to the venue to get it, they offered to ship it directly to us, no questions asked.) If you want a wedding planning experience that is smooth, thorough, and SO fun, absolutely book your wedding day with Emerald Hills Events!

Friend's chicken salad had kind of an odd texture because it appeared to be finely ground rather than shredded. It said it was basil chicken salad, but the basil was only there as a little hint. The bread was tasty as was the side salad with fresh ranch dressing. I had the lunch special - - two items for $12 or three items for $15. I had their tasty fries with a half turkey and Swiss. The turkey was meh. Kind of like reheated. I had requested a different bread than offered, and the waitress was unable to put it in the iPad. However, she did remember and it came out with my preferred bread choice. That's great service! We sat outside & it was a great day! We'll be back with our hubbies!
