Many report inconsistent customer service, with infrequent check-ins from waitstaff and mistakes in to-go orders. Conversely, some diners rave about the delicious handmade burgers and unique sides.

I visited this restaurant for the first and last time today. To start, the waitress was neither friendly nor helpful. The pork sandwich was below average, but the fries and chicken strips were decent. Unfortunately, the coleslaw was old. After we placed our order, our original waitress disappeared through the back door, and another server brought out our food. She never returned to check on us or see if everything was satisfactory. I won't be going back!
This restaurant is excellent for dining in, but terrible for takeout. They made a mistake with my order and only partially fixed it. There's nothing worse than finding a cold piece of cheese on a cold hamburger. I wouldn't recommend spending your money here!
We ordered the smoked charcuterie board, which turned out to be a basket filled with low-quality sausage, pimento cheese just thrown onto some parchment paper, generic saltine crackers when we expected something like Ritz, and poorly cut pickles. That was supposed to be our appetizer, but it really spoiled our appetite instead. My husband had the smoked pulled pork, which had the consistency of sawdust and clearly came from the freezer. It was reheated and seriously lacking in flavor, with barely any sauce. To make matters worse, our waitress never came back to offer drink refills. I ordered the sausage dogs, which tasted like something you'd find at a discount store—definitely not high quality. As for the coleslaw, it had an unpleasant bleach-like taste. It felt like there was absolutely no effort put into the food! The kitchen staff really needs a lesson in flavor because this was severely lacking. Honestly, I wish I could give this restaurant zero stars because it doesn’t even deserve one. There was no effort displayed, even in the presentation of the food!
