This isn't "fine" dining, but more like upscale homemade cooking. Because of the prices and food quality I am giving it 4 stars. (Very good). This isn't a once a year or just special occasion place, it's an every other week place. Can dress casual or nice. Lounge and dining areas, but Lounge is nice. Wood fired grill. Food was just right, not charred, but had a good Smokey flavor (not overwhelming). BBQ meatball apps were great, different nightly specials. Ribs and chicken were great! Ribs fell off the bone, fat had melted away, and bbq sauce was just right. Chicken tender and juicy. Cornbread muffin tasted off the shelf but fine (nice size but need to nail the cornbread as it isn't hard and compliments bbq so well). Drinks were good and priced for 2nd's. My wife loved her Prime Rib sandwich. The popover was sweet and delicious. Great variety on the menu and service was great! Not a place you have to ask for things on the side or can you remove that. They appear to know what's important and nail those, with no negatives. Thank you for dessert (lava cake). Best way to put it, if we lived closer, I would be a regular.

I was happy. It was Foggy Geezer, which is actually really good. Our waitress was nice and there was a good size crowd in here on a nice Sunday for lunch. I ordered the pulled pork hoagie and a side salad. It was a good size salad, they didn't have Caesar dressing, so I went with the blue cheese. The pulled pork was okay, a little sweet, but the roll was really good and it was filling. This place is worth a visit, if only because there are not a ton of restaurants around Miltona. I llked Chet's a little more, but I am glad I tried this place out. They do have a nice outdoor stage I remember and has live music at times.

Hands down the worst dining experience I've had in years. We came up to the deck bar for dinner…read morearound 7 last Friday night after a day of boating. First off we waited for 15 minutes before someone even came to our table. In the meantime a few of us went up to the bar and ordered our own drinks. When the server finally did come, i ordered another beer along with a water, neither of which I ever got. The girls at the table who got soda water in their drinks couldn't even drink them because the water smelled like sewage!! We put in our food order, along with appetizers and specifically asked for them to come out ahead of our dinner. Never happened. They came out after our other food came out. In the meantime I had to go back to the bar to get my own drink...AGAIN. Our server seemed very new and was obviously struggling, while several other servers looked on. The food..less than a 1 for a rating. I had the fish tacos and they fish was basically burnt, low budget fish sticks. Not one person enjoyed the experience there and I can't warn you enough to avoid this place at all costs!! Also, the bathrooms were absolutely disgusting!

We ordered combinations of steak, shrimp and orange roughy. The grilled roughy was paired with a fresh vegetable/quinoa. All of our meals included fresh green beans with a sweet glaze on them. Tasty! I'm not even a big green beans lover, but they were delectable. Everyone in our party was impressed with the food. There were so many people there, so it was a bit slower, but no one was in a hurry. Brian and the gang here are simply so awesome. They go the extra length to make sure you have a great experience!

Wasn't real crowded, and they had a special breakfast menu. They usually open at 11am. 3 items, all 15.00. OK, cool. It was good . Friendly staff, clean, accommodating, and very tasty food.

This place has a long bar with 3-4 large high tops(sits 6 each). They had an additional room for overflow but was not lite up at the time. Small bar. There was about 8 people there all sitting at the bar, one bar tender. As soon as we seated ourselves, we were greeted and got our drink order in and it came fast. Extremely friendly! This was very nice as we were feeling a little awkward to start. The menu was huge and it was mostly burgers with a large app selection with some specialty items like an enchilada type thing and chicken sandwiches. I got the chicken sandwich l, wife got the enchilada thing and my daughter got a plan cheeseburger and frys. The bartender was keeping g a close eye on us and we never felt a touch of neglect or slow service. I wondered how the bartender would manage our food order and the patrons. However, to my surprise she absolutely knocked it out the park and completely surprised! Our food came out quick and was absolutely perfect. I really expected my wife's enchiladas thing ( it was a quesadilla). Was the wrong thing to order, it turned out to be the best. Chicken was not dry at all. Service was perfect. We ate and got out of there and prices were great. If bringing a kid like we did, I would do it around 6 -7 as people were filing in around 7:30 for the evening drink and was time to leave with a kid. I would come back anytime!
