    Nice southern diner frequented by the older folks in town. Just what you'd expect. Not a disappointment at all. I enjoyed my breakfast.

    Grilled tenderloin (Sorry, I ate some) egg whites, grits & toast

    Food is always great! That being said, it isn't a place you'd go if trying to eat healthier, does not have the healthiest options (Turkey bacon, spinach, mushrooms). Saturday mornings are busy, however, the staff pulls together to get tables cleaned as quick as possible and you served. Nice "home" feel.

    Stopped here while on a MC road trip for breakfast and glad I did. It was on a four lane and missed it so had to turn around. Has it's own parking lot and is obviously a local favorite. Typical "Mom and Pop" type place. I had the eggs, bacon, sausage, toast and potatoes with coffee and it was quite a bit of food. I originally asked for hash browns and the waitress told me they are like McDonald's and recommended the cut potatoes instead and they were excellent! Not much to say about the place except great home style cooking with a friendly staff. I will definitely come again if in the area. 4++

    Stopped in to Wanda's for the first time the other day and had some breakfast. The meal was great and very affordable and the service was friendly. I had a bacon egg and cheese biscuit a side of oatmeal and a coffee and around me just over $4.

    Inside of Wanda's at down time.

We were seated promptly, our waiter was friendly and attentive, and our drinks and appetizer came out quickly, so the evening started off on a positive note. Unfortunately, when it was time to order our entrees, we were told that several menu items were unavailable. I ended up having to choose something I normally wouldn't have ordered because so many of the options I wanted weren't available. My son enjoyed his meal, but my chicken gnocchi was very disappointing. It had almost no flavor, and the texture was so soft that it was more like mush than a pasta dish. To make matters worse, the air conditioning wasn't working, and while I understand equipment can fail, the dining room was quite warm despite several fans running. Our server was kind and did his best, but overall the experience didn't match what I would expect from a high-end restaurant. Spending nearly $200 on a birthday dinner that ended up feeling average at best was disappointing. I hope the restaurant can address the menu availability, food quality, and facility issues because I really wanted this to be a memorable celebration for my son for all the right reasons. I really want to come back and have a better experience.

    I was extremely pleasantly surprised by my dinner here. It was phenomenal from the decor, seating,…read morevibes, menu, and service. I was alone and asked for a quiet table in the back - I looked at the patio which was really nice and spacious, but it was about 95 degrees so I chose to sit inside due to that. I was seated at a nice booth alone with tons of space and a friendly waitress came to explain the menu to me and take my order. I had a mocktail made that was very good - and they only charged $5 for all mocktails which I appreciate. As a non-drinker it irritates me to pay $13-18 for juice that doesn't even have alcohol. I chose the house salad and it was by far the best I've ever had. Loaded with fresh veggies, delicious dressing, cheese and some breadcrumbs I think. Great size and portion for the price and fabulous combination of items. I chose the salmon with peaches and cream couscous. The salmon itself was wonderful - but that couscous was so good, I could not stop eating it. It had corn and fresh peaches and it was the perfect combination of salty and sweet. For dessert - I went with the Chocolate Bomb.com but found it to be wayyyyy too salty with the toffee, salt, and combo. I wish I'd gotten their famous cheesecake but, next time! Loved everything about this spot. Very elegant and no portion of my food wasn't clearly well planned and carefully prepared. Highly, highly recommend. Located on a fabulous street near many other charming shops.

The service is excellent; we are regulars and it's top tier every time. The ambiance, especially the bar area is beautiful and can feel somewhere between an elevated casual to mid-high end experience. Some things I'd like to see happen here: (1) a more true and robust brunch menu and please get an espresso machine, (2) brunch could use some live music and/or a dj (like a toned-down Stateside Kitchen vibe or a jazz trio--something--anything). The food is so good here, there is no reason this place shouldn't be absolutely packed on a Sunday.

The space is attractive, though it's far from being any sort of "tavern". It's rather loud, industrial. The worst aspect of the space are the tables for 2, which are small cocktail tables, really sized to hold a couple drinks, not dinner for 2. One is left with the impression that they're more interested in fitting as many diners as possible into the space rather than providing a fine dining experience. So much so that the wait staff apologized for the table size several times. Menu varies with the season, though we found most items on the online "sample" menu were on the dinner menu that night as well. Roasted oysters were plated very attractively, the oysters were plump, and the topping tasty, though several of mine were refrigerator cold - clearly made in advance and not properly heated for serving. Starter of sourdough bread with chili oil. The bread was wonderfully rustic, the chili oil was actually garlic oil. For my main, I had the "signature" trout. Pleasant enough, a nicely cooked filet swimming in a brothy sauce. Accompanied by a few small rounds of potato, what amounted to a single thinly sliced fingerling, I left hungry and considered stopping for a burger on the way home. The wife was underwhelmed with the duck. Kudos for providing an upscale dinner destination in Sewanee. Though not an option that we'd consider revisiting.

They were both just super bland. No flavor at all. Mine had mushy tomatoes on it. His had nothing but meat & cheese. No mayo. No lettuce. Both of our fries were cold so we told a server walking by. She asked us to remove our sandwiches from the basket and she would get us more fries. Then she said she would just bring us more fries. She brought out fries a few minutes later that were as cold as the first ones. We just didn't eat them. We also placed an order to take to the hospital for friends. They only got half of the 2 item order correct. I gave 2 stars and reduced it to 1 after we waited an additional 20 minutes after writing the review and getting the wrong to go order. No apologies just an excuse that the kitchen had an issue.
