**Restaurant Review: A Mixed Experience Worth Sampling** Nestled away from major roads, this quaint restaurant offers a charming atmosphere with a lovely patio adorned with greenery. While many patrons praise the excellent service and delightful desserts—particularly the acclaimed caramel cake—opinions on the food quality are varied. Some dishes, like the brown sugar salmon and BBQ mixed grill, reportedly lack seasoning, while others, such as the steaks and seafood platters, shine with flavor. The menu features appealing specials, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Though the ambiance and service are commendable, consistency in food quality remains a point of contention for diners.
The Redneck nachos are popular for a reason; they were good! The Death burger was also great. All of our other food was also good as well, except the sweet potato fries were a little burnt
First time visiting this quaint restaurant. It is very unassuming from the outside, and you could pass it in the blink of an eye. The inside is small, however they have a large patio that is partially covered. The scenery is lovely to look at, and there are cute plants everywhere (which I loved). I had the brown sugar salmon with Brussels and slaw, and my mom had a burger with garlic Spinach. Both of our dishes were somewhat bland, and my salmon lacked flavor throughout. We did have a Carmel cake for dessert, and that was phenomenal! Overall, the service was great, and the food was eh. I might come back again if I'm in the area.
After eating here a handful of times I've decided that this place is not worth the hype. The variety on the menu isn't great. But the main issue I have is that the quality of the food does not match the prices of the food. You are going to spend anywhere from $15 $50 a person and I just walk away every time feeling that the food is average at best. (Another thing to note is that they do not offer any complimentary services for birthdays no free dessert, nothing) Many people will disagree with my opinion, the place usually draws a decent crowd, but the food is average and bland in my opinion. The atmosphere is not great, especially indoors. They do have live music on Friday nights which is nice, but it's not enough to convince me to be a regular here.
Sitting here you would not believe you are just off a major road, I had my doubts walking from the car to the inside but it really is worth the hour and a half drive we had. Lovely inside, our server was excellent, and the food was great. Their spicybloody Mary was good and food tasty. Will definitely go back
New to the area and this will be a Go to spot for. Perfect all the way around. Outstanding food in terms of quality, portions, taste and value. Great beer selection. Relaxed welcoming atmosphere with friendly gregarious service! We 're goingback!
