It will s a small place, reservations are recommended. The food was excellent, they have a high rating and earned it. I would definitely go back. Service was fast and very good as well
Stopped here for lunch based on a recommendation from a local. I was not disappointed. The staff was really freindly and genuinely looked happy to be working here. The whole place was very welcoming. I ordered the hot chicken sandwich and it was amazing. the chicken was perfectly spicy, it was served on really thick toast that was cooked perfectly. The ranch they served with it was really good. along with a generous serving of fries. Next time, i want to try the reuben!

Glad our hotel bartender recommended we stop in for brunch as this is definitely a cool old local hangout. Love that they haven’t the tucked aside little bar for a variety of seating, and enjoyed the intimate and vibrant brunch crowd on game day. Meals were all tasty and appreciated that they split our omelette dish for us. The grits were out of site by the way. Get n if u can while in town and go w friends…have a bloody, and get ur day going right! PS - the little house biscuits were a welcome addition.
We Had the best dinner ever! Started the night with shrimp and grits, followed by soup of the day, prime pork chop, finishing with homemade banana cheesecake! We didn’t get the lady’s name but her service was fantastic!
