I really enjoy the lemon drop cocktail; it's not too strong but very flavorful. I recommend having it here with friends!
I tried the classic mac and cheese along with their house beer. I couldn't find the beer on Untappd, so I added it myself. It’s a fun spot to hang out!
This was our second visit, and we were once again very pleased. Our server was friendly and attentive, and our food and drinks arrived promptly. I ordered the Nashville Hot Mac and Cheese, which I also had on my first visit. Just a heads-up: it’s incredibly spicy, but the combination of heat and flavor is delightful. My husband opted for a regular cheeseburger and was satisfied with both the burger's quality and the accompanying sides. One downside is that they serve the food on small metal trays instead of plates. While the trays fit the overall decor, they detract from the presentation of a nice meal. We visited in the late afternoon when the dinner crowd was light, and the atmosphere was pleasant. The restaurant has a spacious layout, providing comfort even during busier times. It's located in a renovated GC Murphy retail store, which features a hallway with pictures showcasing its interesting history. The location is downtown, right across from the courthouse, and we found parking to be quite easy.
We didn't get a chance to try the food, because we could not get any service. The bartender brought us menus, then never came back. This was a Saturday at noon, with a festival across the street. The only people getting any attention were at the bar. We even went up to the bar asked for service...and still couldn't get it. So we left. Given our experience, we won't be back.
This place has a great atmosphere for a nice dinner out. This was our first visit. We shared the pretzel appetizer with beer cheese and honey mustard. All of that was amazing. They have a lot of good drink options. I ordered a house salad with chicken and my husband got the street tacos with chicken. Unfortunately the chicken was extremely salty and we could barely eat it. The salad was really good, the ingredients were very fresh. The only downside this trip was the chicken. Way to salty to eat. We would probably visit again, but not order the grilled chicken on anything.
