We came in on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty busy. It's a no-frills space inside but that's what I want in a classic meat and three! There's a menu on the wall with specials and a physical menu a well which was great. Our table had the chicken and dumpling special, fried catfish sandwich, fried okra, mashed and scallop potatoes, green beans, and cornbread. Everything was excellent and you could tell was home cooked. The fish, okra, mashed potatoes and chicken and dumplings were stand outs though. So good! We decided to grab two pies to go to share with some lucky friends, and got the peanut butter fudge and pecan plus a slice of the lemon meringue. Everything was so good but the peanut butter and pecan is very rich (obviously). Both were excellent but we should've grabbed some vanilla ice cream. The lemon meringue was excellent, and if we had known you need to order it in advance to get a whole pie we would've! Now we know for next time. Be sure to stop by The Rose Garden if you are in the area for excellent homemade southern cooking!

I am incredibly disappointed by our experience surrounding my parents' 55th wedding anniversary…read moredinner. Earlier that afternoon, I called the restaurant and asked if I could drop off flowers and a few balloons to surprise my parents when they arrived for dinner. I was told no because there was nowhere to store them. I suggested placing them on the inside porch area where no one sits or the inside unused bar (see pictures), out of the way until our reservation time, but was again told no. After speaking with a second employee and explaining that this was for my parents' 55th wedding anniversary, I still received the same response. What was most disappointing was the lack of willingness to help create a special moment for longtime customers. My parents dine here frequently (in fact, just last weekend!), and this small gesture would have meant so much to them. For a locally owned business in a small community, I expected a greater focus on customer experience and hospitality. When we arrived for our 7:00 p.m. reservation, it was apparent there were several places where a vase of flowers could have been tucked away until we were seated. We also were not seated until around 7:20, did not place our food order until nearly 8:00, and did not leave until after 9:00. To be clear, the food was excellent. The quality of the meal itself was not the issue. What I cannot get past is that the staff was unwilling to accommodate a very simple request that would have helped make a once-in-a-lifetime milestone celebration feel truly special. The only solution offered was for me to arrive 10 minutes early with the flowers and balloons. Unfortunately, I was driving in from out of town, coordinating with my parents, dropping off my dog, and heading directly to the restaurant, so that was not feasible. My parents were disappointed, and honestly, so was I. This felt like a missed opportunity to show a little flexibility and create a memorable experience for loyal customers celebrating a remarkable 55 years of marriage. Hospitality is about more than serving great food. It's about helping people celebrate life's special moments, and in this case, I feel the restaurant fell short.

Prepare for greatness. The chips were served warm and the salsa cold. They serve beer! A great way to wash down your meal. The hubs said his chili verde was among the best he's ever had (worth finishing with a Tums). It definitely tasted like it was made from scratch. I loved the shrimp chipotle. So many shrimp! So much fiery spice! The perfectly seasoned rice, sour cream and guac cooled things down (and the beer helped). Oh, that guacamole? Spring for the appetizer of it--chunky with just the right amount of onions--so good. It wasn't the best part (because the food was so good) but the check was mighty nice. I felt bad paying so little for this meal.
