The minute we walked in and heard the live music, we knew we were going to have a good time. The food did not disappoint. My mom and daughter both had the pasta--one swapped the crawfish for chicken and the other for shrimp--and both versions were delicious. Hubby had the steak and eggs, and the one bite he was willing to spare was surprisingly delicious too! I went with the fried green tomatoes and Brussels sprouts because I already knew I'd be helping myself to some pasta from their plates. We finished it all off with banana pudding and key lime pie, and both were the perfect ending. Great food, live music, good vibes, friendly server and a fun stop on the road home. Definitely glad we found this place! Also, a great looking bar with lots of TVs so would be great in the evening as well.

There was a guy performing live there, and the music was not so overpowering that you were unable to talk across the table. Very pleasant. Service was slow but it appeared they were understaffed. Order bowl of Gumbo for appetizers. We went on and provided our entree orders at that time as well. We waited about 25-30 minutes a different person brought out our order. I ask the server to take the gumbo back, as we had order that as an appetizer. In a few minutes our original server brought the gumbo back to our table. I told her we had ordered that as an appetizers, the server apologized and said it had gotten "Lost in the kitchen, keep it, I'll take care of it". About the food, wife ordered salad with chicken. The salad had 4 large fried chicken tenders on it. I order the sirloin tips over rice. Overall tasty, but gravy was a little salty. Dish included some green beans as well which were tasty. Overall experience was ok, service a little slow which I don't understand with the lower population in the dining room. When I got the check, the gumbo was still on the ticket. Not sure what "I'll take care of it " meant, not what I expected. I paid for it without saying anything else. Actually it was pretty good gumbo. Paid the bill, left a good tip, as the server seemed to be running her legs off. Going back? Probably so, but it'll be a while till I do.

Specials just about every night and live music on Fridays. The Funky Goat may just be the G.O.A.T.! Go there!

This was our second visit to SpringHouse. Our first experience was very good, but unfortunately,…read morethis visit did not quite measure up. I had made the reservation well in advance, and upon arrival, the hostess initially attempted to seat us in the bar area. I politely declined and requested a table in the main dining room, which was accommodated without issue. Our waiter was polite, attentive, and provided very good service throughout the evening. We began with the charcuterie plate and mixed green salad. The charcuterie was underwhelming, consisting of a few slices of seemingly packaged salami, several cheeses, jam, and crackers. The salad was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. For our entrées, we selected the Wagyu New York strip and the bone-in pork chop. The Wagyu was overly salty and not at all impressive, particularly for the price. It was accompanied by oddly seasoned, dehydrated green beans that did little to enhance the dish. The pork chop, however, was the clear highlight of the meal. It was excellently prepared and served with delicious grits. SpringHouse has a warm, inviting rustic atmosphere and remains a pleasant dining experience overall. Some of the food preparation and execution would benefit from greater refinement, but there was still enough to enjoy that we would return

If you like good fried chicken this is a place to check out. This was my first time and the person…read morechecking me out was so helpful in helping me figure out the menu to meet my needs. I ordered two orders of fried chicken and got two pieces of catfish with blacked peas, Mac n cheese, and got both the cornbread and the roll (yes, I'm fat). The peas were good like home grown, the Mac n cheese was a bit dry like a casserole but had the flavor of well made goodness, the catfish also very good that was both crispy and moist and a pleasant flavor. THE CHICKEN: it has a medium crispy crust with a mild seasoning which still allows you to grab the fresh skin off the thigh and taste that natural caramelized fried chicken skin (the money shot). The breast was moist in the center, the brine had decent penetration. I would give the chicken a 7.9 out of 10. For reference KFC is a 5 out of ten. Honestly, if I married a beautiful skinny 20 year old and she cooked this good and ten years later she weighed 300lbs and someone ask me why I stuck around, I'd say try her cooking. I'm sure they would ask if she had a sister... this is good food y'all.

We ordered two Meat & 2's and both consisted of A Big Fat Fried Chicken Breast, Black-Eyed Peas and Mac n Cheese. As always the chicken was cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside with that perfect fried chicken skin and totally moist meat. The mac n cheese was very moist, not really runny and the texture was the perfect chew. No mushiness and no hard noodles. The black-eyed peas were out of this world good. They had a bit of spice in them and cooked good ole' Southern Style...cooked! We ate and ate until there was not more room. We gladly took our left overs for another wonderful meal. As we were leaving I said, oh, no "I forgot to take pictures. So I went and broke in line and took a couple of the cafeteria style food that everyone was so patiently waiting to be served. The staff works extremely hard. The restaurant is very clean. And the food is absolutely delicious. They do take togo orders and sometimes the line is out the door. They are closed on Saturdays. Highly recommend one try if in the area. Prices have remained relatively low while other places have increased their prices drastically. Our two meals which included drinks and tax was about $21. You can still buy a whole fried wing for under $2...it is $1.95.

Fried green tomatoes- wasn't the biggest fan of pimento cheese, but if that's your thing I'm sure it would have been delicious. I had the strawberry / spinach salad. It was decent but a little too much dressing on parts and a bit dry in others. The biscuits were a star of the other meal.

I believe it effected some of the flavors of foods that were boiled in it, too. Gnocchi had some of the same off flavor. In addition, some of the flavors just feel way out of whack for totally unrelated reasons. Sauce that the duck came in was thin and overwhelmed by honey. The risotto it was served with seems like it should be rich and homey. But despite a crazy amount of added dairy still tasted thin and flat. Can't tell you why. Wonky seasoning? None of the dishes reflected any familiarity with acid to lighten or balance a dish. Fried green tomatoes were pretty mid despite a quality remoulade and a bunch of pimento cheese. Ingredients seem like they're decent quality. Desserts are legitimately top notch. Everyone recommends the peanut butter pie. And it is excellent, though pretty obviously not long out of the freezer. The affogato Is legitimately fantastic. And I'm not even talking about the pageantry of dumping the espresso on the salt ice cream. The combo is legitimately satisfying, like a well-rounded creamy candy. The plates are funky and cool and beautiful. The staff all seem like they're 19, attractive, and gregarious.
