Overall good. Waitress did not clear dirty dishes after we finished eating. Just a pet peeve of mine. We sat there and visited for a bit after dinner.

We couldn't check in on the app because none of us had any cell service there, but we were on time and seated immediately. Our server was fantastic! Very attentive, friendly, and was on top of things like refills, checking in with us for extra napkins and such, and the check. Food was fast, hot and delicious.

Enjoyed a Father’s Day lunch with my Dad. We loved being able to taste new beers before committing to the full glass. There are about 3 dozen and are server pointed me towards a couple that pleased my taste. We had a lamb sandwich and the meatloaf sandwich. Both were delicious. The fryer contains BEEF TALLOW which ups the game for their fries!

It was great as always. The chicken and rice with grilled onions and banana peppers, and the garlic sauce is always a favorite. The cajun chicken Alfredo is great. The ribs smell amazing thats my next eat there. Service is always attentive. One of our favs

First time visiting and will return. Their selection of drinks and food is awesome. I ordered the Southern Chicken Sandwich and it was out of this world.

Went here with my mother for a Lenten fish dinner. Received two large pieces of fish a piece. We both enjoyed the coleslaw as well.
