We have tried to get a reservation here many weekends without luck. We booked a few weeks in advance this time! Our first visit here and we can see why its always full. When we arrived for our 5:00 reservation, many of the people in line (in front of us) did not have a reservation and were seated anyways. However, since we live an hour away, we will be sure to always make a reservation first. Our server for the evening was Lewis. He was fantastic! He was friendly, made several recommendations and gave us a brief history of the building when asked. The live music started around 6:00 and was fabulous. We saw a painting or picture of them hanging on the wall near where they played, which was a nice touch. The food was delicious! The fries are very unique and out of this world good. My boy

My Sister wanted to try this place, so here we are. The atmosphere is awesome and should be a delight to most. It does require a stair climb to the restaurant and T-shirts are offered at a vending machine at the entrance. We were seated as they opened and the place got busy quick. Server was a cold side but was quick enough. I ordered the shrimp and grits which were mainly just ok. Of course I got French fries for no other reason to try them out. And they were also just okay but went well with the beer. My sister was overall delighted with her burger. Can I recommend you trying the Horse Inn? Sure it’s a decent experience along with the live music that isn’t loud. There is parking available and prices what about what one would expect.

Loved this place!!!! An old horse barn that was turned into a restaurant...very well done. Food was outstanding. Had the Italian Beef sandwich, Shrimp and Grits, and Horse Fries. All great!!! Tried the Paw Paw Ice Cream. It was different. Will have to find a way to come back here.

Delicious food, nice place for intimate conversation, front bar is very cozy. Great cocktails. Local cheese plate was very good, had burgers, delicious, definitely save for pot de crema and their sweet cream ice cream.
