We are new to the area. Looking for a "Cheers" kind of place; "where everybody knows your name! " Food and service were phenomenal!

Lunch was good. They will not serve you a glass of ice water during lunch. You must buy a bottle of water which I think is a huge rip off.

I ate here when I graduated and it was ok. However, mine along with my family's food was cold…read morebefore it even arrived at the table!

Our waitress left much to be desired.. waited a long time for her to show to the table and take our drink order.. she apologized for the wait. Then we ordered.. waited again for drinks. A longer than expected time for food when comparing to places like longhorn or Texas Roadhouse which are competition. The food was ok. I forgot they season their steak quite heavily.. this steak was basically eating spice blend. Some enjoy that, to me not so much. I want to taste steak not over seasoned subpar steak. Usually the amount of seasoning on my steak indicates covering very low quality. It wasn't priced low vs competition. We had a child's dinner at the table for medium steak tips. They came out raw to medium. I was not comfortable letting it be consumed. Took quite awhile to get waitresses attention.. and the only offer was to put them back on the grill. I'm not a fan given cooks are usually not pleased with a kicked back steak. This dinner took way too long to get the meals and then the bill. I'm sure someone will say why didn't you talk to the manager.. what manager? One did not make themselves known in the establishment and having to return a child's steak should be prompt enough a boss figure to appear.

The food here is fantastic!! For appetizers, I highly recommend the Beer Cheese Fondue or the…read moreimpressive onion rings. The Wicked Shrimp Pasta is my go-to...amazing if you like spicy. The Fettuccine Rocco--no spice and equally delicious! The Fish 'n Chips tastes as good as my favorite restaurant on the coast in San Francisco (known for theirs). We've had several of the burgers and none have disappointed...but the TN Whiskey Glazed burger is to die for! *Chefs kiss* My least favorite dish so far, has been the Maui Chicken. It was missing something...needed a sauce, pineapple, or something. For desserts, if you're a chocolate lover, you must try the creamy Lava Cake--and then there's the decadent Crème Brûlée...(Wow!) The atmosphere here is relaxed and family-friendly. We've had the best servers! Attentive and hospitable. All in all, we love our gem here in Ooltewah so if you're just passing through, or live further in the city, it'll be well worth your drive. Give the Local Goat a try!

My first time to eat a meal here and I enjoyed great service with some really good food. I went…read morewith the Farmhouse burger with a side of mashed sweet potatoes. The burger had bacon and a fried egg on it. It was cooked perfectly. The burger was larger than the bun. The sweet potatoes were good but I would choose a different side next time. Outstanding sweet tea. Took a piece of chocolate peanut butter pie for later and it was excellent. Definitely recommend checking out the .
