    They did a good job. Burger and onion rings very good. The place is old. Needs a little remodeling. Only hope the best for them.

I…read morewant to begin by expressing my sincere appreciation for your team; our server, in particular, delivered truly outstanding service. Their attentiveness, warmth, and professionalism were exemplary, contributing significantly to a positive atmosphere and certainly meriting a five-star commendation. However, I must also highlight a considerable disappointment concerning the food. The oyster stew served was, without exaggeration, the most unsatisfactory I have ever encountered. Its consistency was exceedingly thin and watery, akin to diluted milk, and it was entirely devoid of any distinct flavor profile. Furthermore, the oysters themselves regrettably still retained an unappealing sliminess from their shells, indicating they had not been thoroughly cleaned. This dish fell far below expectations. Conversely, the salad bar offered a mostly positive experience. The array of options was generally appealing, and the majority of the ingredients appeared vibrant and fresh. My only reservation was the condition of the lettuce, a significant portion of which exhibited noticeable brown discoloration, suggesting it was no longer at its freshest. Despite this minor issue, the other components available on the salad bar were excellent.

    I am genuinely impressed. Outstanding food and service!…read more Road can be hard to miss if you're not using GPS or unfamiliar with the area. It's a place tucked away off a dirt road. Immediately were acknowledged on arrival from a friendly gentleman leaving. He just struck up a conversation with my husband like a true southerner. The decor inside is a conversation piece in off itself. It's a simple place but packs a memory on your taste buds. I think it's because they actually serve fresh food. There's a salad bar that takes up an entire room. It puts Ruby Tuesday to shame. The lettuce is crisp, the vegetables are fresh and the ranch must be homemade as it packed flavor. Steaks are market price. We ordered the fried fish and pork chop. My pork chop was glistening and moist. When I was sticking my fork in it, you could see the moisture in the meat. And tender! The staff works together. Whoever fills your drink may not be who serves your food or checks in on you. I like it! Everyone is held to a standard of friendliness. It's so welcoming! And as it began to wind down at the end of the night, the servers even all ate dinner together, all while still caring for patrons. Bathrooms were spotless. And ADA accessible. There was even a kitty cat waiting outside for pettings. They've added a pool bar next to the restaurant along with giant Jenga, table tennis and cornhole. Will definitely be returning!

    They offer a very good salad bar with many selections, however it is al dente for the most part on…read morepastas. I prefer completely done. The food is good most of the time but is hit or miss. The staff is friendly and accommodating considering the crowd they serve. Beef selections are a bit pricey especially for hit and miss. My seafood special was very bland, hush puppies crumbly and no sweet potatoes (the best side). I do like the atmosphere. They also have live entertainment now.

Instead of taking phone numbers or providing pagers, they simply write down your name and loudly call it over a speaker. Despite having four adults in our party and actively listening both inside and outside for our name, staff claimed they called us multiple times and skipped over us, resulting in a wait that was well beyond the estimated time. When we were finally seated, our table was dirty and wasn't even set up with the correct number of chairs, despite there being only four adults in our group. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for the poor experience. It was subpar at best. Overall, aside from the riverfront view, this restaurant failed to deliver on service, atmosphere, cleanliness, and food quality.

Opening Yelp, I check the list of saved restaurants, and my wife points out this place. I mean, 4.9 stars with 525 reviews, and the Google rating is 4.6 with 3450 contributions. One would think with all those stars, you'd be guaranteed a great experience. That, of course, may end the evening with "brown chicken, brown cow." We arrive, and immediate retro-dinner vibes set in. As we walk past the back door into the kitchen, we see two small, well-used smokers. My first thought was, "Whatever gets the job done." I know I have turned out many great cuts of meat from mine. Next, I notice an older woman struggling to smoke a cigarette, hacking away; it was a clear sign she should quit. We walk into the restaurant, and the retro vibe continues, from the old diner seats and tables to the music playing from the ceiling speakers. Being a car guy, I liked the row of model cars above the bar, but they could use a feather duster or a Swiffer. One word of caution: if you are heading to the restrooms, be aware of the sudden change in floor elevation; there is no warning, and a trip-and-fall is possible. The first waitress comes over after we're seated; she looks like she had a rough day, judging by the leftover food on her black shirt. At least the table was clean and well-designed. Turning to the reviews, the highlighted items are fried chicken, country fried steak, and a few others. The menu offers some unexpected options, like crab-stuffed cod and beef bourguignon, demonstrating nice variety. We started by asking what their top-selling items were; they mentioned fried chicken and country-fried steak. Feeling adventurous, I chose the beef bourguignon, and my wife went with the crab-stuffed cod. We began with jalapeño poppers, which looked great when they arrived. Ignoring the caution, I took the first bite and immediately realized how hot they were, temperature-wise, as the filling blistered my mouth. The flavors were good, and the fresh jalapeño peppers were crunchy rather than soft. If this were an indication of how the rest of the meal is going to go, the "made fresh every day" motto displayed would be a treat. Well, except for setting caution aside for the hot items. Our dishes arrived, and the presentation was decent. My wife's dish looked good, but my beef bourguignon seemed very old and overdone. We said grace and started eating; well, so much for that "it's made fresh every day" motto. If mine were made fresh, the chef would likely have killed it twice. The chew of the first bite was so dry and long that it could have made Wrigley's gum proud. It took me back to my high school days when Hubba Bubba bubble gum first appeared. (Yes, I am that old.) I tried to push through it, hoping for a moist bite and those seasonal flavor notes; alas, they never came. The flavor profile was missing Rosemary and bold red-wine notes. Julia Child would be rolling over in her grave. I grabbed a piece of the cornbread that came with our selection to dip into Aujour. Well, you would have to question whether anyone tastes the items before serving them? A box of Jiffy Cornbread mix has more moisture and texture. It was something with the biscuits. There was still flour on the putter surface of the biscuits. Our server came by to check on us, and we didn't hold back our disappointment. She went to the kitchen, apparently took a piece, and confirmed it wasn't good. She then said she would comp the meal and offered to replace it with anything I wanted. Just then, my wife reacted after her second bite of the crab-stuffed codfish. It turns out she had a piece of crab shell lodged between her gums and a tooth, which was very painful--way worse than biting into a popcorn shell. Once it was removed, she managed to get a few more bites in before CRUNCH!!--another shell. By this point, the experience had fallen short of what we had seen in the reviews. The server returned and asked if we were interested in dessert. We agreed on a slice of Limoncello cake. When it arrived, it looked amazing again, but the first bite told the story. This was supposed to be Limoncello, and it was clear that the lemon had left the chat... I was thankful for the extra lemon I ordered for my sweet tea; once a squeeze of lemon juice was added, the chat was revived. Before completely passing judgment, we would like to experience breakfast. As much as the reviews raved about the menu items, I'll keep my opinion until then
