    Atmosphere was perfect, service was perfect, tea was perfect and the food was perfect. You wouldn't go wrong stopping here to eat.

    Fried catfish Blue plate
    Requel P.

    Cozy spot tucked away alongside a business strip. My mom wanted to come for lunch as she enjoyed her first experience. Inside you place your order and pay at the register. Then you self serve your drinks and choose your seats. I got their blue plate special of the fried catfish with the turnip greens, mac & cheese, & creamed corn. The place reminds me of Ajax in Oxford. But the taste didn't compare. The mac & cheese wasn't as cheesy as I would have liked it to be. The fish was fine but I would've preferred it fried hard. The turnip greens were ok. Tasted it fine with the hot sauce. I am glad they added the cornbread to it but I didn't like the salty taste of it. Great customer service. I just wish the servers wore gloves.

    Shrimp platter

    Shrimp platter had seven shrimp and was $19.24. Food was good but disappointing to get so little for almost twenty bucks.

    Undercooked fried green tomatoes

    9/10/24-Receipt #0133: Ordered to go Blue plate hamburger, steak, turnip greens, macaroni and cheese, and fried green tomatoes. Heard many good things about this meal and restaurant. I was highly disappointed the hamburger steak was overcooked blacken in some spaces with holes in other and just dry, the greens taste like they had a pound of sugar in them and overdone mushy, fried green tomatoes undercooked and had enough batter that you could've made pancakes, Mac and cheese very dry and uneatable. It was a terrible meal I've been sick and I went there to get me something to eat, and I could hardly eat anything on that plate highly disappointed. I want my money back.

    Trace Burger with egg added. Fantastic.

    Country fried steak sandwich ran through me like water. Tell your cooks to wash their hands after scratching their ***. Will be some time before I have the guts (literally) to roll the dice in this place.

But this one was just right for me. I feel like you could show up after a round of golf and it would be cool. That's as long as you don't have swamp ass, LOL. Inside is well lit and airy. There are lots of windows and it's quite comfortable. Our server was great. So good in fact, I have no recollection of them or the service. That's strange. Nothing. I can't even remember if they were male or female?!?!? I do however remember my food. We started with crab claws. They were darn tasty. Nice lemon flavor to the batter and the sauces were great accompaniments. Would recommend! For dinner I chose the Prime Chile Rubbed Flank Steak. Gosh damn was it good! Perfectly cooked, seared well, and still medium rare inside! The sauce was fantastic as well and the fresh cut Parmesan fries were a stupendous addition to the dish! I loved the whole damn thing!!! The spinach was quite unique and very good. It was like crispy sautéed of something. I must have made some noises that my dinner companion had to know about because he ate a couple slices of my steak after I was done. I thought about dessert but the boys didn't want to help so maybe next time!! I will come back here. I hope this meal was not a fluke!! I can't stop thinking about that damn steak!! '26 - 40

    I had dinner at Two Rivers Restaurant recently, and it turned out to be a memorable meal…read more I went with the grilled redfish and the bacon-wrapped shrimp, and both dishes were prepared with real attention to flavor. The redfish had a beautifully seasoned crust from the grill, while the inside stayed moist and flaky. It tasted fresh and clean, with just enough smokiness to give it depth without overpowering the fish itself. The dining room felt warm and inviting, the kind of place where you can settle in and take your time. Staff members were courteous and checked in at the right moments without hovering. Overall, Two Rivers delivered a flavorful, well-executed seafood dinner in a comfortable setting. I'd gladly return to explore more of their menu.

Also we're told that if we were 15 minutes late person that we would lose $50.00 deposit per person that was late. They were twenty minutes late in seating us and we were seated in a room with other customers tables and our table was especially cramped in our seating, even tough we had made confirmation for 16 and confirm (3) times before restaurant. I had brought in player to play 70s music for our event and had gotten permission before. About a minute after I had plugged in machine but had not turn on any volume. The owner came up to me in loud voice in my face and telling me I could not play the Karaoke machine which had no microphone nor was that our intention. He keep on and on even though I tried to explain I had permission was only going to play Pandora 70s music. I even lowered my voice to a whisper and ask him to lower his voice which he did not so i walk away motion him to follow me to a private area to continue the discussion which he finally did and after he was out of site of an audience did his voice lower in our discussion. He was unprofessional, rude and behavior like a spoiled jersey! Not only my opinion but 16 people agreed a our table but five other people came up to me and expressed their observations of his behavior. Also, some of our orders we wrong and when I spoke up to say I did not order my side which was a grits dish, because I do not eat grits, the waiter kept arguing that I did order that dish, finally after back and forth, he said he would bring me another dish. I ask for menu to point out what I order. Never received a menu or another dish. I ask for dessert menu, never received it as well! Myself and 16 at our table plus those at other tables around us will not be back and others we tell....we know many people in that area! ​

After a successful purchase and a hemorrhaging from my credit card, we opted to celebrate the occasion with a meal. And Lo and behold Table 100 was just across the street from where we were. Ambiance 4 Stars - as you walk into the establishment, you are transported back where the warm wood interior, cozy white table cloth tables or booths, high end bar drinks, and classy servers in their white or black attire are waiting to serve you. There plenty of tables and booths to seat a plentiful of patrons. And if you need a little bit more private, you can request a private room depending how many are in the party. 4.5 Stars - Service: our server, Andrew was wonderful, professional and has a great sense of humor. We bantered throughout our dinner but the conversation never crossed over to make anyone uncomfortable. He was observant of our needs and when to bring our next course. Our glasses stayed full with our beverage. 4.25 Stars - Food We ordered from the dinner menu instead of lunch due to our timing at 3:00. Let's just call it "Linner". Haha. 4 Stars - Grilled Swordfish- My wife ordered the dish and came with a decent size grilled swordfish fish, sauté spinach, creamed mash potatoes, and a beurre blanc sauce (lemon, butter and dry white wine). The swordfish was thick and moist; not dry at all. The beurre blanc balanced the bland spinach and the seasoned swordfish. The creamed potatoes were creamy, buttery's and not too salty. 3.75 Stars - Pan seared Redfish with cube fried potatoes, sauté green beans, beurre blanc sauce and top w a Chilean tomato salsa. The redfish was moist and tasty but I wish it had a little bit seared on it for a crunchy factor. The cubed potatoes were good but nothing to write about. The fresh sauté green beans could have a bit more garlic butter. 3.5 Stars Side dish: Deep Fried Brussel Sprouts. Hot, steamy and fresh. Has a slight crunch on the exterior leaves and was seasoned w a sprinkle of salt. 3.75 Dessert: Crème Brûlée and coffee. The crème brûlée crust was crunchy and the vanilla egg custard was good and smooth. It would have been better was a scoop of fresh whipped cream to go with the fresh fruit and crunchy layer. 5 Stars - French pressed Italian coffee. The coffee was a highlight of the dessert. It was hot, fresh, and strong. Just like an Italian coffee should be. It was between an espresso and caffe' Americano. Our, server, Andrew did a wonderful job on the coffee! I definitely recommend this place and we will be back. Don't forget to ask for Andrew, if he is available.
