Came here on a Monday night. It was fairly busy but no wait. The staff was nice and attentive. The burger and sweet potato fries were done well, flavorful but not overly salty. I would come back if I was in the area. There is indoor and outdoor seating so bring your pups if you want.
Yummy food and fun atmosphere! Service was friendly. Live music when I went on a Wednesday night. I had the shrimp and grits and it had great flavor. I just wish they served it with a piece of bread of some sort to soak up the juice!
Super fun and casual dining experience! The waitress was really nice and attentive. I think the food overall was pretty good, nothing really incredible. We ordered the Kale and Quinoa salad and it was really undressed. Just tasted dry. But we also added the blackened salmon to it and that was delicious. The salmon was perfectly cooked and flaky. Very well seasoned. We also got an order for wings, with both sauces on the side. The order comes with 8 very meaty wings and the sauces were perfect. The space is huge inside so I can't imagine there ever being a long wait. There was also decent parking on the street right in front. Overall a very chill and casual dinner.
This place is good. The drinks were very good and the staff is extremely friendly. I ordered a shrimp Ragu which is pretty good and decent in size. My partner ordered a burger, which was just OK lacked a bit of flavor. The Sweet potato fries it came with were very good though. Thank you for a great experience !!
Came on a Sunday for a birthday celebration and it was packed. There is indoor and outdoor seating and the building is quite big, we ended up getting seated in the back outside. From what we ordered, the short rib burrito was really good so was the prosciutto flatbread. I would pass on the chicken and waffles. A few options on the kids menu but the cheeseburger was unappealing. The skillet cornbread was delicious, with the maple butter on top was yum! Great place to hangout. The waitress was nice, kept checking on us throughout our meal. The food arrived pretty quickly for how busy it was. Overall, we had a good time.
Comfortable setting with large outdoor area. We attended a private party in the enclosed outdoor area. The food was tasty. The drinks were served by the pleasant and attentive staff.
Food: My husband and I ordered shrimp & grits dinner with cornbread skillet. I had a glass of wine, and my husband ordered a beer. Ideally, food is hot, this was warm, maybe lukewarm. I love hot food, so that was disappointing. If the server came back to check, I would have asked that they warm it up a bit more, but he didn't show up for awhile by that time. I had already decided, to just eat it, as is. I'll warm up my leftovers nice & hot. Service: He was nice and busy. Ambiance: laid back, good music. Great vibe Price: Plates are about $28 each, $16 wine
We had a big group reservation on a Wednesday night. It wasn't crowded but had good vibes with live music coming from the inside while we sat on their outdoor area in the back. They have a private parking lot around the back of the building with around 8 spots with 1 handicap parking. There are also plenty of street parking around the back street but not up front as it is towards the end of the street. The main street parking spaces end about a block before. Their flatbreads were full of toppings with a nice crisp bottom. We had their Mushroom, Prosciutto, and Pesto flatbreads and loved all three. The kale and Quinoa salad also went well with the flatbread with just enough vinaigrette dressing. We also ordered the Creole BBQ Shrimp but it was a pretty small size dish (not ideal to share even though it is listed as a share plate) so I didn't get to try the shrimp but the sauce was really good. I kept dipping the french fries in the leftover sauce. And their Basket of Fries, so good. We kept ordering more and more and ended up ordering like 5 baskets. Loved the light rosemary chili seasoning. Try their craft cocktails as they were super flavorful. They also have options to make them without alcohol for those that do not drink but want to still enjoy the beautiful cocktails (and they are $10). The ones that do have alcohol are not weak; they definitely do not skimp out on the alcohol. The servers were also great and accommodating. Took our order quickly, provided water and plates as needed and we never had to flag someone down as they were readily available. Our server was also able to split everyone's bill by their order as we were all paying for our own drinks and brought over the card reader right to us. It was a very enjoyable night.
