    Add this to my "Must Visit" list! This little hideaway has quality coming out of its ears!! Absolutely darling restaurant, and the staff are just about the nicest people I've ever met. When I walked in the nice lady asked me if I liked seafood and offered me complimentary crab dip and crackers! I could have made a meal on that alone! I chose fried green tomatoes and a combination plate of jumbo shrimp and clam strips. Both were fresh and clearly battered in house. And the batter is a light, crackery batter, not a heavy beer batter. It was so light and crispy and not the least bit oily tasting. And, about the best fried green tomatoes I have EVER had!!! For sides I chose creamed corn and collards which were both made from scratch. Dinners also come with these darling cheddary mini biscuits! If I could have room for dessert I would have tried it, but I was stuffed. No booze served, so sip that sweet tea and savor the flavor!

    Well prepared oysters and shrimp.....not tough. Good cheese grits to. We will definitely return. We got there at 4:10. By 5:30 the activity was picking up !

    Four of us ate here at the net tonight we have eaten here before every single time every meal we've always had is been delicious and tonight we met the chef Rusty, and had not only his wonderful, seafood dishes. I have to share this picture of this carrot cake that was just the absolute best, everything is here is homemade and very fresh. Wonderful fish in the mountains!

    Tender juicy ribeye, jumbo fried shrimp, onion rings, loaded mashed potatoes.

    The food is excellent. Great seafood, amazing tender juicy steaks. Outstanding service. A quaint little place that you're going to keep going back to. Amanda is a fantastic server!

    Homemade desserts were amazing, carrot cake, white chocolate macadamia cake and banana pudding.

    We had a great dinner here. Food and service were great. Shout out to Amanda for her great service.

    See all

They have a decent wine list on a table card with 15-30 reds on one side with whites on the other. They also had a separate seasonal cocktail menu. I had a glass of red wine and my partner had beer. Other people in our party ordered cocktails which looked very good. I ordered the Truffle Potato Wedges and the Calamari. The calamari was PERFECTLY cooked! Tender, not chewy at all. It was topped with sweet Thai chili sauce, amazing. The Parmesan Truffle Wedges were good but not very hot. My partner ordered the Appalachian Waldorf Salad which he enjoyed. I got to taste the Onion Blossom and the Crab Dip, both of which were very good. Overall the food was enjoyed by everyone. The service on that day was very slow but since it was Christmas Eve I'm guessing they were short staffed because it wasn't busy at all. Some of our party commented that the service had been slow on previous visits so it might be hit or miss. The service staff were very nice, checked on us regularly making sure we had what we needed. We will try them again.

It normally comes with lettuce, tomato, pickle, and special sauce. I didn't want a mayonnaise based sauce....trying to cut some calories since I'm already having a deep fried sandwich! I instead got a smear of buffalo hot sauce which was a really good substitute. The sandwich was super crisp and spicy. Very good! My only gripe is that when I get a sandwich at a restaurant, I expect some type of side dish. It could be a small amount of fries or some potato chips but something. R&R has lots of good sides so they could offer some free fries but then encourage up charge sides for one of their delicious options like their truffle fries.

Unfortunately we got our days mixed up and our reservation was the following day. However the hostess told us it was not an issue and still seated us right away moving our booking to the correct day. The food came out in a timely manner and our server was very helpful as well. I ordered the seafood lasagna and it was very flavorful. Personally if I were to come back, I'd order another dish that was more filling. The server raved about how good it was and she was correct. It did have a lot of flavor to it. However it lacked seafood in the shells. At some points, I felt as though I was only eating shells and sauce with tomatoes unfortunately. Upon finishing our meal, unfortunately my father became ill after sipping water and going down the wrong pipe. We were so embarrassed seeing as though we were sitting in the middle of everyone dining. However the staff were so kind resulting us that it wasn't the first and dropping everything they were doing to tend to us with wet napkins and checking on my father. While we were deeply embarrassed, it really meant a lot to us that you all made us your priority in that moment and I greatly appreciate you alls service!
