The portions are generous, the prices reasonable, the servers welcoming and friendly, and the place itself is warm and inviting. It's just the sort of place that scratches that "home cooking" itch, without you having to do the dishes afterwards. The biscuits and gravy alone are worth the trip - even a half-order is plenty to satisfy the craving for a big fluffy biscuit covered in rich sausage gravy. Seriously, I could eat that stuff with a spoon, it's so good. My wife and I both got one of their casserole skillets, and we had leftovers for further down the road. For a meal that feels like you're home in Angola, take yourself to Mama's and tuck in. It's worth it.

If you've not been, they are in the old Auntie V's next to Walgreens. Love love love!!! Friday - 12:30p - what are the chances we beat the rush or they're slammed? Got right in! Instead of ordering my usual Old Mother Hubbard, I took a chance on the BPT. I'm glad that I did. This is by far the best BPT I think I've ever had. Hand pounded thick, fresh, juicy & tender. Perfect amount of seasonings! I opted for their sweet cole slaw to dress the old BPT with. When you grow up penguin point - you KNOW. 10/10 Next one will be with cheese and ketchup.

There isn't adequate signage to tell you where to go. Do I go into the bar? Downstairs? Or back outside and around back. This makes things a bit unwelcoming. However, the bar staff acted excited to see us to directed us to self seat. Our waitress was nice. She was friendly and hustled. She didn't know her menu very well and was confused at several of the menu items. She was engaging and did her best to make us feel comfortable. We started with the Ricotta Bites. The breading was very crisp and over fried. It was almost impossible to cut the small ball in half. The filling was very creamy and had a mild ricotta taste. Not much flavor beyond that. The marinara sauce really had to provide any spicy flavor. My wife really liked her flatbread. I had the Cod Bites and tots. The cod bites were also over fried and difficult to cut. The cod was fresh and tasty. It flaked apart once you broke through the crust. The tarter sauce wasn't very distinctive. It was mayo based with relish and some mild spices. The tarter sauce was just kind of there...it didn't do much for the fish. The tots were also over fried, very crispy and oily tasting. I ordered a side of Cole slaw because I love salads. The Cole slaw is mayo based. While the slaw was fresh and crispy. The mayo dominated the taste. The pepper was a good accent but couldn't do anything with the over powering mayo taste. I personally wouldn't recommend it. The Smoke on the Water cocktail was outstanding! The drink had a very strong Smokey taste. The tall pink drink is very attractive...especially with two raspberries on a stick. The beverage was refreshing and a bit spicy to taste. Overall..a very innovative drink!!

We happened upon this…read morehidden speakeasy by chance, thought we had the wrong address as there is no sign, and snuck in with another group who had a reservation. We were met underground by the two lovely owners who are very passionate about creating a fine dining experience that did not disappoint in any aspect. (Recommended to call and reserve for others reading this). A pianist played softly for the duration of our meal, and it appears other musicians occasionally set up as well to encourage the relaxed vibe. The food left nothing to be desired - crispy salmon and brussels cooked to perfection. We finished with a homemade chocolate mousse that somehow we also finished every bite of. It appears they also attract high quality clientele as our meal was silently paid for by a lovely couple nearby, who were there for their 41st anniversary - thank you if you are that couple reading! This place will remain special for us and we will certainly return to reminisce in the years to come.

A solidly average supper club style restaurant serving the Lake James community. While the food and…read moredrinks may not "wow" you, you'll get a decent meal for a reasonable price. I started with a drink from their signature menu, a Knobby Old Fashioned, so named for using Knob Creek whiskey. The blend of muddled orange and cherry with the whiskey and dash of bitters was fine--my only critique is that such a drink should be served with a large chunk of ice, not regular cubes from the ice machine. Too much dilution too fast and the flavor is gone before a quarter of the drink has been consumed. For my entree I had Parmesan crusted cod. The fish was cooked well and the flavor was spot on. Generic out of the box fries were okay. I liked the "tartar" sauce served on the side--tangy with a garlicky kick. Finally, we were a group of nine and they gladly and accurately provided separate checks for each couple and individual. All in all a positive experience.

One did have a ribeye steak that was a bit tough, maybe because it was mid rare (another had his mid well and said it was tender) When brought to the attention of staff it was quickly replaced with the country fried steak which they said was excellent.
