★★★★★ 5.0 Jennie Jamerson · Oct 2025

Hands down this place is nothing short of being just AMAZING. Beautiful atmosphere, exceptional service, good value for the price and delicious food. The owner was top notch and on her A GAME. She introduced herself and continued to check on us, making suggestions on food to order and most friendly. It's very obvious that she prides herself in how her business looks and how it's ran. Both she (Mandy- owner) and the waitress (Chelsea) were phenomenal. 10/10 I highly recommend. Food was so good and seasoned to perfection that we didn't have to use the salt n pepper shaker. They have an amazing selection of wines and top shelf alcohol (although I was at work and couldn't try any- but will be back) SUPER CLEAN ESTABLISHMENT. However this hidden gem is only open for lunch through the week and o

Mediocre food, long wait time, weird atmosphere, and extremely rude owner. I confirmed with the server at our table that the chicken + shrimp pasta would be $19. I did this due to being confused by the prices and the server told me that yes, it would $16 for chicken pasta or $19 for the chicken + shrimp pasta. I went for the $19 option of chicken + shrimp pasta due to the server confirming the price. When I got the bill, however, I saw that I was charged $16 for chicken pasta and a SEPARATE $12 for shrimp (only 5 btw). I told another server that this was an error and that the previous server told me that it would be $19 for the chicken + shrimp pasta option. The server then called the owner over, who then explained that I was charged correctly. I politely explained to the owner that the p

Full disclosure: this review was a 4/5 until I saw that Captain America watches you go to the bathroom. That bumps it up. I had a Burger, medium rare, with an egg sunny side up, cheese and bacon and a loaded baked potato. My wife had BBQ shrimp with a fried grits ball. The burger was very good, if messy thanks to the egg (which isn't a complaint). Baked potato was good, but even though it was hot, it didn't melt the cheese very well; some types of cheese don't melt super easy. The shrimp were a little plain, which implies most of the flavor comes from the BBQ sauce, which was good but very fishy. The fried grits were delicious. As an appetizer, we had cheese and bacon fries with sour cream and a side of ranch. While they look a little plain, they are actually delicious also; the cheese

★★★★★ 5.0 Desey · Apr 2023

First, the service was wonderful and personable. Our food came out super timely and to perfection. The portion was generous and very well worth it. I got the fish blackened redfish with potatoes and greens beans. The fish was thick and cooked perfectly. My friend got the shrimp po-boy and a loaded baked potato. She was pretty good.

★★★★★ 5.0 Amy Bean · Jan 2023

The Staff were very friendly and helpful. Got in quick. Was very clean. I had the Bbq Burger. It was very delicious. Loved the fries. The homemade pickles were to die for. Husband got the Shrimp Polenta. It was so good. The Fried Green Tomatoes were pretty good. Was more batter than tomato. His Jack & Coke was perfect. He said the Bloody Mary needed a little more flavor. We poured the juice off my cup of pickles into the Bloody Mary. Made it better. The Cheesecake was so good. The Chocolate Cake was even better. Glad we stopped to try it while traveling
