The house sausage made to perfection, the benne seed bacon was like something I've NEVER had before, and the pickled shrimp with the comeback sauce was INSANE. Coming from someone that doesn't like cold shrimp, it was out of the water. Literally. The waygu burger was delicious and cooked perfect, although sweet due to the jam, something to keep in mind! Fries were yummy and cooked to perfection as well. Lastly, the filet mignon. Words can't describe how much I enjoyed this meal. It's been a long time since I've walked out absolutely pleased. The port-reduction was sweet and a perfect dipper, the steak was so tender and the béarnaise sauce on top takes it to the next level! Pickled veggies, braised onion, and yummy tender Yukon potatoes. You really can't get any better than this plate right here in my opinion! Aside from the food, our sever was so kind, helpful, and very welcoming. We wish we would have got his name, he sure did elevate the experience overall and I hope to see him again! Our food came quick and we were even offered a tour of our charcuterie board!! we WILL be back!!!!

We also had the cornbread pea salad, which was also very good. The meals come with cornbread. The drinks were great. They had specialty cocktails and would make anything we wanted. The service was good too. We sat inside, but I think it would be fun to be outside. We came with friends who are vegetarian and they didn't feel like they were very many options for them, although they did have the vegetarian pasta. Many of the sauces and dressings have bacon in them, so our friends couldn't order that.

Great Service & Tasty Food... But Small Portions…read more The staff was friendly, the restaurant was spotless, and we were seated immediately. Our waitress was quick, attentive, and very kind. The food and coffee were both delicious. My only complaint is the portion size. Prices were similar to other restaurants in the area, but the amount of food served felt much smaller. The kids cleaned their plates because there wasn't much left to waste, but for the price, I expected more food. Overall: excellent service, clean restaurant, and good food, but the portions don't quite match the cost.

Yikes! I'm honestly…read morenot sure where to start and really hate leaving a two star review for a family run business in a small town, but I really do think they need to take a look at their business model. If anything, I hope that this review helps the owners to reconsider some of their offerings. First off, there are multiple cars parked in the parking lot making the average passer buyer think that the restaurant is extremely busy. It does seem like they are known for their Italian food, but they also offered breakfast. First off, I don't like anything special for breakfast. I am very happy with scrambled eggs, a biscuit, bacon I ordered just that, scrambled eggs, a biscuit, and bacon. It was honestly horrendous. Again, I really hate saying this because I know that it's family run and in a small town, but I think they need to reevaluate the breakfast situation. I know that breakfast food is pretty bland, but this was beyond bland and not worth the money. The girl that was seating people that morning was not friendly at all, and we didn't even know that we were supposed to follow her. I definitely hope that their Italian is better than the breakfast, and maybe they should reevaluate the business model. Overall, I do not recommend, we probably would've been better just having breakfast at the campsite.

Decided to find a spot close by to eat while stopping for gas on the way to the Tail of the Dragon…read more Only a couple minutes off the parkway. We were greeted right away and were able to take a table. Small dining area, with very limited seating. Nice warm cozy vibe including Bob Ross on the tv. The food came out quickly. Hot and fresh. I got the Snoring Bear Breakfast. I chose the Cajun seasoning for the tilapia and it was a lil bland. I probably could have asked for more seasoning, so that's on me. The rest was great. Eggs cooked to perfection. My wife chose the fish platter and she said the fish was delicious. The fries were a lil over seasoned and she had to rub some of the fries off. As for the drinks, cans of Coke, Sprite, etc are $1.99 each. A lil pricey but it is clearly marked on the menu. My only complaint is I ordered a water and was charged 50 cents. It's not listed anywhere on the menu, so I was surprised to see it on my bill. Overall, I would probably stop here again for a quick bite if I'm in the area.
