Of course the food was awesome as always and the staff awesome! Love going to The Pines!

Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are pricier than weekday lunches, and Wednesday and Thursday dinners are a bit more than lunch but still cheaper than the weekend rates. I would recommend skipping the higher weekend prices unless you find a coupon in the newspaper or receive an email offer (they have a mailing list, which often includes promotions; typically, if you buy a meal, you'll get a free drink—not included in the meal price). This restaurant is a good choice for occasions like Easter, Thanksgiving, or Mother's Day when you want a traditional meal without the hassle of cooking. It offers a satisfying selection for a holiday meal.

The chicken was amazing and the two curvy sisters and mom that work there gave the best service and hospitality ever. Truly southern charm and team work was brought to our table time and time again. Thanks gals!

Everything was delicious, from the chicken to the potatoes. And the sweet tea was excellent as well!

Despite these drawbacks, the quality of the food shines through. And let me not forget about the incredible home-cooked meals! Thanksgiving is a standout, especially the smoked turkey – it’s unbeatable.
