The service was really friendly and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. As for the food itself, it was alright, but not great... Some of it was scratch, while some of it was definitely frozen (burgers, fries, etc.). The biggest drawback however was that Sago's is super overpriced for the quality and amount of the food... Our bill was $160 w/ tip for seven adults and one child (for lunch) - Holy smokes (insert "blown mind" emoji).

My experience at Copper Kettle on Mother's Day was extremely frustrating, mostly due to poor…read moreservice and management. Service was slow from the start. We waited a long time just to order drinks, and our waitress, Maggie, had to come back and ask for our drink order again. Later, I ordered a salad to go, and it came out wrong. I asked Maggie to send it back, but after waiting 25 minutes, nothing happened. I eventually had to ask for a manager. Manager James never came to speak with me. I was told he was "too busy" and that I'd need to wait until he had time, blaming the delay on it being Mother's Day. However, the restaurant did not appear that busy--there were multiple empty tables. After another 10-15 minutes, I still never spoke with James, and only then did I finally receive the corrected salad to go. I spent $200.66 including tip, which is a lot to pay for this level of service. While the food itself was good, it was very overpriced for what you receive, and the lack of attentiveness and accountability from management ruined what should have been a special meal. Unfortunately, I would not return based on this experience.

A year ago it would have been 3-4 rating. Over the past year Blackwater is lucky to get 1 star…read more Menu prices have gone up over 30% and portions have gone done more than that. Their specials are just recycled leftovers. Thursday is "prime rib night". Prime rib is , fine at best, but the next Tuesday you can have 5 day old prime rib as a "prime rib sandwich special" wink, wink. When you arrive less than an hour after they are open and there is only 3 specials left, you know it is just a leftover from the night before, which was affirmed by the wait staff. If you like mediocre food with okay service, this is the place for you.

We did not end up eating here, because there is no place to park a pontoon that we could see.

Maybe next time, we will drive there and try their tiple berry pancakes!

Old Oak Cafe is situated in a strip shopping center, but is designed to make you feel like you've stepped into someone's home. The back room houses a faux (I assume) fireplace and round oak dining tables. The southern hospitality we received from the staff is as inviting as the space. They also have a large bookshelf of children's picture books and activities. So thoughtful and a wonderful option for tablet-free families. Our first visit was around 11:30 am on a Sunday and there was about a 20-min wait with the post-church crowd. The interior waiting space was full so we opted to wait outside. They offer a buffet breakfast on the weekends for $14.99. It looked to have biscuits and gravy, eggs, a variety of meats and fruit. We opted for menu options. I noticed they offered foam plates for buffet-goers, which made me cringe. I hope they will consider changing to something more environmentally-friendly. We were greeted as soon as we sat and offered coffee. Our server on both visits were incredibly kind! On Sunday, our server was a bit slower with coffee refills, but it was incredibly busy so I understood why. On our first visit, hubs had the cinnamon sweet potato pancakes while I chose multigrain. Both were so fluffy and delicious! The sweet potato pancakes drew us back the next day. They were topped with a cinnamon sugar butter and fresh pecans. The flavor was out of this world! Even the multigrain pancakes were light, fluffy and so yummy. I got blueberry pancakes on my 2nd trip and wish I had ordered these. The blueberry, while tasty, were more dense and not quite as flavorful. The Sweet Potato and Multigrain pancakes are worth 5 stars alone, but the service and value set Old Oak Cafe over the top. I'm ready to plan another trip to SML solely for this breakfast!

This is not something new, shortly after them taking over this business started happening.

First let's start off with the parking, parking is so tight here and hard to find. I was lucky when…read moreI arrived that someone was leaving out of a parking space. There is a business next door but they have strict signs up that for state no parking for "the pod" only their business. Which is understandable. Once entering I was greeted promptly by a smiling male employee. He was super friendly, made me feel welcomed, it definitely made me feel that I was valued as a customer. Thank you young man! The inside is beautifully decorated, they have a variety of things for purchase also. It's so clean, super DOOPER clean!! The restroom is so clean also. The menu is not overwhelming which is good. Enough variety to please anyone. I ended up getting the chicken and gnocchi soup, homemade pimento cheese sandwich. The soup was the bomb, very chunky, carrots, celery, plenty of gnocchi, the chicken seemed grilled and it was a good amount of it. The pimento cheese sandwich was very good, very stout sharp cheese flavor, it's pretty strong, with lots of flavor. I got the bread toasted which is so good, try it. I did try a speciality coffee, Cupid Kiss, it has notes of white chocolate and raspberries. This combination is so yummy together. It was definitely awesome! They do have oak milk, which I prefer. Highly recommend this business keeping this as a routine on their menu. They do have a variety of pastries and other sweets if you would like to give them a try. They looked super yummy! I was full so no room for any sweets. I would definitely, highly recommend , you better stop in and give this place a try!!! You will not be disappointed!!!! Service is off the charts!!!!

The owner was very friendly and had great stories to tell. Being an old shop, it had the stools at the counter and a few booths. We sat at the counter as all the staff knew my colleague since he was a kid. You don't find jewels like this everywhere. I ordered a double cheese burger, toppings, and tots-crispy. It came out perfect. I spent two minutes devouring the burger, then casually consumed the tots listening to the stories. This place is what America used to be like, yet still has that fire. I hope to pass through here again. Next time maybe the chili dogs. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
