Rude hostess! We went early on a Saturday in February with a party of 6. The hostess said she…read morecouldn't seat us, even though there were 2 tables next to each other that would fit us just fine. She didn't say she wasn't permitted to seat 6 in that space, but maybe that was the case. She snapped when I asked her a question that my sister already asked her, even though I had no way of knowing. "I told your friend that already" with an eyeroll. We contemplated taking a 2 top and then a 4 top elsewhere, but the hostess was so rude we decided to leave. The bar looked fun and drink menu fabulous, but is it too much to ask to be treated civilly?

So much to offer but yet again under delivering with outdoor area with disrepair, crap piled up under their outdoor stage and weathered peeling wood table tops.

Parking. It's very tight. Just be forewarned about finding a place to park because parking lot is small. Staff. Everyone was friendly and attentive Bar. Light pours.

This bar made me feel like I live in a small town and all the locals come to hang to this one place. I only came here for the pool table. It's $1 per play. We had about 6 plays on a Friday around 7pm. Goes to show you that it wasn't crowded and no body was waiting for us to stop. They have a total of 2 pool tables. We didn't have any drinks, but it looked like those who did were having a blast. They had some drink specials and on certain evenings they have happy hour from 4-6. It was also karaoke night and at least one brave soul got up to sing "My Girl." This place is sure to give you a jolly good time.

It is spacious with lots of natural light (if you eat during the day). We ended up being one of two tables because we came at an odd time. There was only one person working front of house, Melissa, and it looked like she was bartender, hostess and server while we were there. Despite that she did a great job. She was gracious, attentive and even pulled out my chair for me. She knew about the building's history and seemed to take genuine pride. So if that is an indication of what the service is like all the time then A++. Food was decent, not mind-blowing. But I thought the quality was there. Ingredients were fresh. Prices were high end for the area but reasonable for the preparation and presentation. Food was well prepared. My only real complaint is my fried okra kept sliding out of its batter. See photos for more food info.

When we went, only the bar area was open, but there were tables in that section and we were able to sit comfortably as a family of four. Our waitress was really sweet and personable, which always makes a difference--especially when you're traveling with kids. The food was delicious. I ordered the smash burger, my husband had the salmon, and both were excellent. The kids ordered from the kids' menu--chicken tenders and a burger--and everything came with fries. We also ordered the sweet potato fries and those were a standout--definitely recommend them. Overall, it was a great stop during our trip with good food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere. We really enjoyed our experience at Shirley's.
