Absolutely everything was PERFECT. The food was divine, delicious, and fresh. Service was impeccable and the ambience peaceful and charming. I live a good 2 hours north of this restaurant but anytime I'm in the area (Calloway/Columbus/Pine Mtn), this will be my first dinner stop. read more

We were in the area celebrating our wedding anniversary and decided to book a reservation after reading all the amazing reviews. The restaurant is very cute and truly has an "at home" feel. I was really looking forward to having the short rib. Unfortunately when we were seated our waitress told us they didn't have it that day. While ordering drinks my husband was ordering beer and he was told they didn't sell what he was asking for. Even though it was listed on the menu. He ended up ordering whatever the waitress suggested and we ordered the shrimp cocktail while we looked over the menu. The shrimp cocktail was very good. For dinner I ordered the filet with lobster and my husband the Pork shank. My filet came out overcooked but was promptly fixed. The lobster was amazing ! My husband wasn't a big fan of the pork. We did order a cheesecake for dessert that was also really good. Overall our experience was pleasant but food wise not what I'd expected from the other reviews. However the service was great. The owner is so nice and spent time socializing at each table. He even came to make sure my second set of fillets were good to go. Our waitress is also very nice. I can see us trying this place out again. Hopefully on a night they have short rib. read more

The food and service is that of a fine dinning. The steaks and seafood are to die for! Best cocktail shrimp in the area as well.

I'm going for five stars because the filet mignon was superb. One of the best steaks I have had in years. The place is eclectic. It's an old house that appears to have been added on to four or five times. The decor varys from your great grandmothers old furniture to things like a white piano, red carpet, wild murals on the walls. It's unique. It's something that you definitely should go see. Service was excellent. The owner Daghar, met us at the door and made us feel like old friends dropping by for dinner. He's a character. He kidded about being from Lebanon Tennessee. He's actually from Lebanon and has the expected accent. He's a totally delightful host and was frendly to everyone. Our waitress was also frendly and helpful, giving us details of Daghar's life. He bought this place after a colorful life living across the US. The plan was to build it into a restaurant and he has added on to the house several times to accommodate crowds. It's an old horse farm and at one time you could apparently ride in a horse drawn carriage here. Our waitress has worked for Daghar for 22 years. Obviously he's a good employer as well as a real character. He suggested a very nice bottle of wine after we described our tastes. It was an Italian Cab. At $50 it was very reasonably priced for a restaurant. We both had the filet and as I mentioned, the steak was superb. They served a delicious salad with a ginger dressing that was as good as anything I have ever eaten on lettuce. Altogether this was a great meal in an unexpected atmosphere. I would suggest that the meal was as good as any I have enjoyed at twice the price. Definitely a must try place if you are nearby. read more

Food, service & ambience were wonderful. The owner warmly greeted us. We had a lovely & delicious .dinner

There something to be said about hometown ambience. Dagger does an amazing job at not only creating the food but taking the time to chat up his patrons. The food 9 times out of 10 is excellent. He can cook up a mean short rib like no one's business. When he has it prime rib is a favorite along with the lamb. The side salads are large and fresh and everything is reasonably priced. I mean $8 for a glass of wine can be twice as much somewhere else. If you have the time make a reservation and give this a try. read more

Food was ok. At best. The building is very outdated and in need of remodeling. My steak was bone dry. It wasn't overcooked. It looked like it may have been cooked and then reheated. read more

I had the best meal I have had in a long time. The escargot was delicious. My steak was cooked perfect. The service was awesome. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Pine Mountain. read more

Nice location in the country situated by itself with lots of parking. It appeared right off that they were understaffed, and the manager was stressed we were seated, and our order was taken. The salad was just lettuce. My husband received his meal long before I did and his pasta was cold. My meal was salmon and it was perfectly cooked and delicious however, the rice was cold as were the vegetables. I see a lot of potential in this restaurant maybe if the owners would not be so frugal they would be more popular. Too many options out there to make this repeat event read more

Summary: very nice place with good food, good service and reasonable prices, plus a pleasant drive. No need to fight traffic and look for parking like in ATL. Definitely worth a visit. Story: went for our anniversary after deciding there was no way we wanted to drive to ATL. It is certainly off the beaten path but GPS found it no problem. We had reservations but went on a Tuesday night so it wasn't busy. The decor is dated but nice, not pretentious or stuffy at all. Everyone was very pleasant, attentive and helpful. Not a craft beer or high end wine selection, but reasonably priced. We ordered the specials: rainbow trout for my wife and some lobster pasta dish for myself. Both were very good. Going with 4 stars mainly due to the sides of carrots and beans not exactly up to the caliber of the main dish. I would recommend read more

Service was excellent, food was great! Dagher was such a great host! Definitely will return.

What a find! Food was great and expertly prepared. Service was awesome. Owner is delightful. These out of the way places are the best!

Locals seem to enjoy eating at this place but the atmosphere and set up is a little dated for me. I think they want that to be their niche. Food is okay. I know Pine Mountain doesn't have many choices. And people rave about the Owner and staff ....they are very nice! read more

This is a place I have had in my list to visit for quite some time (3 years). The personal and attentive service combined with a great meal made our 25th anniversary dinner a wonderful experience. The fresh baked bread was amazing along with a garden salad with a very tasteful sesame ginger dressing. The main course consisted of tender filet mignon with lobster, mashed potatoes, green beans as well as carrots with a hint of brown sugar. Dinner was topped off with a carmel cheese cake. This is definitely a place to come back to. read more

The service and charm was outstanding. Everything about our meal & time here was fantastic. We will definitely be back and look forward to experiencing the southern charm again. read more

So rare that a restaurant exceeds expectations, but this one absolutely did. Came to celebrate a 60th birthday. The food was amazing and would have cost nearly twice as much at most restaurants in Columbus. Huge ribeye. vegetables and potatoes. So delicious. Tiramisu and turtle cheesecake for dessert. The service was wonderful and attentive, and the atmosphere was pleasant. The whole evening was so much fun! This is going to be our only go-to place for special occasions moving forward. read more

Great food. Eclectic atmosphere. Gracious host/owner. Recommended for a special occasion. read more

We have been long time fans of Dagher's since our daughter's wedding reception was held here a decade ago. Tonight we had an amazing slow-roasted pork shank and terrifically tasty sea bass followed by a breathtaking caramel turtle cheesecake. Always call ahead for a reservation and always come with a hearty appetite. Dagher and Christy will make you feel like family. read more

Love the rural setting - gravel parking lot off a 2-lane road north of Pine Mountain, with pastures behind. The building is an old house with artsy/flowery decor. Not really my thing, but I guess it has character. We went on a pretty quiet mid-week evening -- we were one of 3 or 4 tables when we arrived, and were the last to leave. Dagher spent some time chatting with us before the meal and brought us some wine. He is an interesting character -- very friendly and welcoming & has lots of stories to share. The menu was fairly simple but had everything you need IMHO -- steaks, lobster, pasta, salad, veggies. The bread was warm & tasty. The salad was fresh baby spinach and carrots -- simple & high quality. We had the filet & lobster and the lamb shank (a special IIRC) and both were excellent. The lobster was perfect. The filet was cooked exactly as I expected for medium-rare, and it was super tasty. The lamb shank was braised and so tender it could be cut with a fork. The mashed potatoes were unremarkable but good. And the veggies (which came with just about every plate) were again simple but nicely prepared. Dagher came back and chatted with us a bit more after our meal, and interacted a bit with each person at the table. It's clear he enjoys serving & engaging with everyone. Overall a very pleasant experience. This might be my new favorite place for a nice meal in the Pine Mountain area. read more

We arrived an found that the owner Dagher was very friendly and hospitable so willing to make everyone happy and comfortable. The server a very lovely lady had a wonderful smile and very knowledgeable on the menu. They sat us down in a comfortable table they asked us for our drink order and allowed us time to look at the menu. The owner hisself came to our table explained the specials and continued to have a nice conversation with us. A very nice surprise. After talk to the waitress we order our starters crab cake for my wife which are very close in flavor to Maryland crab cakes, I ordered the escargot which were sautéed and garlic wine, butter sauce and placed on toasted French bread both were excellent. For our entree my wife ordered the specialty trout dish with mash potatoes and vegetables. I ordered KC style Ribeye on bone mash potatoes and vegetables. They both blew us away with flavor and both will melt in your mouth. We both love the restaurant it made us feel so comfortable and very happy also so relaxing! We love this restaurant!!!!! Owner is in a class of his own!!! Please remember to call ahead for a reservation. read more

Night in and night out the restaurant Owner, Maître d' and Chef "Dahger" provides the highest level of hospitality Imaginable. The service is consistently outstanding and the food and Atmosphere-is good in a cool, hip old fashion flash back type of way. On my last visit a week ago the server Chloe was delightful and her attention to small details was so refreshing. Great Service is simply providing a timely knowledgeable template of events in a professional manner while providing attention to enhance the guest experience. Great hospitality is much more rare. It is how you make the guest feel. Dahger makes every guest feel special and truly appreciated. This place is a not to miss. Reservations are required. Exceptional value! read more

The food is great and the portions are huge. Very nice atmosphere and the service is great. Amazing wine list and the menu has great options and you can't go wrong with anything you decide on. I had the filet and it was cooked perfectly came out in awesome time. The portions where nice and the carrots and green beans cooked perfectly. Even the salad before my meal was great! Fresh lettuce awesome Asian ginger dressing. Dagher the owner is a really great guy who cares deeply for his guests and they're experiences. He came by introduced himself and made sure everything was perfect. The restaurant is located on a beautiful piece of property! Would definitely recommend coming by and trying this place out! read more

Okay let me couch this review I rarely give five stars but if you're in Pine Mountain and looking for a really good place to eat this is it. We were met by the owner and immediately felt welcome and he went over the menu and what selections would be the best fit for us for the night. I had the fillet in the lobster and and the escargot. When you are in the area make this a must do restaurant. read more

A little off the beaten path, but not hard to find. Parking is on a flat gravel and dirt area, but there is plenty of space. Access is adequate for handicapped diners and for us, that is a deal breaker. The food..... oh the food! Four diners, four different meals, shared. Oh my goodness!, yeah, we will be back! read more

I'll make this short. The food was excellent, the service was the same. The shef was so much of the ambiance. Coming to the table, he selected the wine and made suggestions for dinner. We had traveled thru many large cities, and this was the cherry on top. If you miss this one, you'll have missed a Gem read more

THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST MEALS I HAVE EVER EATEN!!! Dagher the owner, chef, host, entertainer was extraordinary! He was so funny going to every table and making everyone laugh. He had one big table that was a regular of his and they treated him like family and him the same. He sat with them and fit right in. He did it all. Incredible perfectly charred steak, with reduction sauce, garlic and butter sautéed greenbeans, carrots so sweet and tender and mash potatoes to bring it all together. I swear I will drive an hour and a half to go back there again. Our waitress Fionna was a breath of fresh air and such a perfect addition to our beautiful experience. She was so attentive and charming. I also had the best Malbec I have ever tasted. I mean I just can't give this restaurant enough stars nor quit talking about it. I feel like I need to make the hour and a half drive right now by just thinking about it. Don't you miss this special place! read more

What a GREAT meal/experience! Dagher is the host with the most! Call him to make reservation and don't trust google read more

I feel like pictures are so important in a review (especially being professional photographers by trade), but I don't have any great photos to share. It was romantic & dimly lit, & we also just wanted to enjoy our meal. What started off as a last minute google find & calling for a reservation, turned into one of the most amazing & unique meals of our lives. We ordered the pork shank special & the ribeye. There aren't enough positive adjectives to describe our dinners, but in a slightly tipsy text to my mom after some wine, I used the word "transcendental". To find such quality & service in the middle of a cow pasture is a mystery to me, but I'm so glad places like this exist. Thank you Dagher & staff for a memorable evening. Can't wait to return. read more

The food was delicious. The wait staff was very welcoming. Beautiful views. The chef came to the table to make sure we enjoyed our meal

Very unimpressed The experience was a let down from food to service Do not recommend going read more

Our server was by far the rudest server we have ever encountered. Our meals were mediocre and steaks were raw when they came out. The were cold to the touch and our waiter said "I don't know what you want me to do about it I didn't cook it". This was extremely un called for. We just wanted our steaks cooked. We were really hoping this would be a hidden gem but I don't see this place lasting long at all. You couldn't pay us to even eat there again! read more

Outstanding food , wonderful service, fantastic environment - this is a restaurant not to be missed!

What an amazing evening! I was part of a team of 12 visiting from out of town that went there for dinner on 10/26/22. As you enter the establishment, your first impression is that you are in a 100-year-old home or building or possibly an old funeral parlor. But please do not judge this restaurant by the cover. An absolutely wonderful staff that takes care of you like you are royalty, and the owner is very interactive with the guests to ensure they are happy and is quite a funny character!! AND the food was absolutely spectacular! Everybody's meal was prepared to perfection. Lots of laughs and great food had by all!! I certainly hope we get the pleasure of visiting Carriage and Horses again! Do not miss out on this gem! read more

Wonderful dinner. The ribeye was delicious and cooked perfectl. The trout was also tasty. Great service and atmosphere. Will return on next visit to Pine Mountai. read more

If you ever get the chance to visit this restaurant, please do so. The service and food are unlike any other restaurant I have visited. The staff if very attentive, and the owner even comes out to talk to tables. This place is very homey, everyone fits right in. You are sure to have a great time. We ordered the filet and lobster past, which were both large and delicious. This restaurant tops all others in the area, and we will be sure to visit any time we are in Pine Mountain. read more

Let me start by saying this is NOT fine dining by any means. My friend actually thought by the looks of the place, it may have been a funeral home at one time. Anyway, we had the filet special which came with a salad, mashed potatoes, and green beans and carrots. The salad was nothing special at all, the filet was delicious but way undercooked (despite asking them to put it back on), the mashed potatoes were fine, and the veggies needed a lot of work. The bread was delicious and the wine was good too. What was most off-putting (besides the ambiance) was the owner's inappropriate comments and attempts at a conversation with us. He was so inappropriate we were actually shocked at his blatant and gross attempts at flirting throughout the end of our dinner. Based on other reviews, we are not the only people he's acted this way with. I think he honestly means well but has not clue how inappropriate he is. read more

Recommend everyone in the area coming to visit this restaurant. As a family from New Orleans, we felt incredibly welcome in this nostalgic venue. Beautiful views and wonderful food. We had the buffet and wine tasting menu which was delightful. The highlight of this place is the attentive staff, eager to help and offer recommendations. If you have the chance to visit carriages and horses, don't pass it up. read more

The food was excellent. The music was excellent and the service was excellent. The farmhouse style was quaint in that it was at some point frozen in time. It's possible that an upgrade in decor would bring a five star experience. read more

We drive from MS to Pine Mountain at least 5 times a year to spend the weekend and have dinner each night at Carriages and Horses. We love the romantic atmosphere and amazing fine dining dishes, great service, love the wine selection too. They also have special wine tasting nights, Mediterranean nights, Sunday lunch Buffett.. The owner, Dagher is very accommodating and fun too!! read more

We enjoyed dinner here last week. A nice rural setting - watching horses and colts play in the fenced area right outside the restaurant as we dined. Very good menu, food prepared to a high standard. Service was attentive, if a bit rushed. Owner and staff were all friendly and engaged. We had escargot, lamb, and fish - all quite good. Modest but solid wine list. Our only downside was that on the four state trip we were making, this was the only restaurant we visited in which the staff did not wear COVID masks. We understood they all had shots, but it is still reasonable, and in the staff's health and safety interest, for them to remain masked, at least for a couple of more months. This is also the CDC recommendation for such businesses. We were a bit uncomfortable due to the lack of staff masks; otherwise a fine place to dine. read more
