All the other reviews on here of my man from Texas and his meat smoking skills is no lie whatsoever. Pulled pork, brisket, smoked wings were something to write home about. On top of the bbq, I really love sauce and his homemade barbecue sauces were slamming as well! Apple bourbon bbq sauce is something I typically wouldn't get but it really surprised me. It almost had an applebutter consistency and was wonderful to dip the brisket in. If you are thinking about stopping by if you are visiting or just passing by... Don't second-guess yourself, stop!

Had a bbq flavor of sorts that was probably a bit overwhelming for the salmon. Cheese grits on the side were good. Daughter had the filet mignon which she said was perfectly cooked, though it could have used a bit more seasoning. Husband had the ribeye and unfortunately he was disappointed with the lack of flavor. The restaurant obviously aims to please and we didn't complain, just a little more seasoning and this would have been a five star rating. Also a little pricey.

Everyone was having to pull out their phone flashlight to read the menus so I would just suggest maybe table lighting if they want to keep the low lights throughout. Ok on to the food... we had the rockafella oysters which were pretty tasty for an appetizer. And I had the catch of the day which was grouper over cheddar grits and shrimp etoufee. The food was well flavored and not too heavy. We also shared the peanut butter pie for dessert which we enjoyed. The staff was friendly and the drinks are strong. So we will likely return.

Visited Goody Shop Cafe for an early lunch on a Wednesday. When I stopped in, post COVID, I don't…read morebelieve that dining in was an option so, obviously, I got my order to go. The inside feels like (or is?) part counter restaurant and part antiques store. I knew I had come for a hot dog and the folks behind the counter were patient while I decided on a side item, ultimately settling on onion rings. I hung out until they handed me a paper bag with my order. I had parked right out front so I didn't have far to go to enjoy my lunch. Everything (especially the onion rings) was really hot. The footlong was really good. The dog itself might have been fried and it was great to see pretty full coverage across the full dog. Onion rings were pretty greasy, as evidenced by the dark spot soaking through the paper bag. They were tasty though. I did go back in to ask for an extra couple ketchup packets. If I'm in the area, I'd return to Goody Shop cafe and try some of their other offerings.

I asked how much the order would be. She said $20 something. To which I reiterated that I was only ordering the patties. She replied that she had to charge me for 3 burgers. To which I replied that I would have to cancel the order as I cannot afford to spend over $20 on lunch when I can go to Wendys and get 3 patties for 7or 8 dollars. Then she said that I should just go to Wendys and get those patties and disconnected the call. I was expecting to spend more than what it would cost me at Wendys but not over 2x as much. Then the rudeness to top it off. Disappointing... I had heard such good things about their food...

They offer a variety of food items from subs to pizza to burgers, sandwiches, wings, fried rice, you name it. But to be honest, I've come here for years and am very biased about their subs, especially the Super Sub and the popular Steak Sub, and their chicken wings. So, if you're new, I highly recommend starting off with those. The perks of this place is that it's simple, no frills, run by family, food is served hot and freshly made. Right now, with the pandemic still ongoing, they're not doing dine-in but are offering pickup. So, if you're ever in the area, stop by this shopping center, skip the Cici's and support this local joint.

We were down by Lake Tillery on a job so this was within a reasonable distance. Love the layout and decor in the restaurant. Oh, we picked a shareable for the table and spinach artichoke dip, which was a good choice to split between three people. We still have plenty of our workday left so I opted to go with the grilled salmon and a rather unique side in Mexican street corn.. for my second side I decided to add a house salad with homemade ranch dressing. The salad was a large portion to start with in the flavor of the Mexican corn in the salmon went well together. I made a great choice. The Mexican corn was three short corn on the cobs in a long dish with sauce on top of the corn. Public house is definitely the place to be in Albert mall for lunch dinner or a private event.

We went to Five Points Public house for a weekday lunch and only had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. The food was good, the interior architecture is nice to look at, and we will be back. The restaurant is a mix of booths and tables with chairs. You can tell the building is old, but had been tastefully worked into a restaurant by the age on the exposed brick within. The whole front of the restaurant faces one of the main roads for downtown, and has large windows that bring in tons of natural light. This place is good for a date night, a group gathering, or anything in between. There's even some bar seating if that's your thing. Our table got the French dip and a make-your-own burger. The French dip was easily shared by my little and me, as the portion size was large. The build-your-own-burger comes exactly as you want it, cooked to your temperature preference, but I will say the patty could have had more seasoning on it. The onion rings are amazing, and the onion adheres perfectly to the batter. One thing I hope to be able to use in the future is the Pontiac Room, which is their second story event space. They have a nice sign that gives details about the space, and I truly believe it would be good for wedding receptions, large parties, or large group gatherings. I don't know if there is an elevator to this space, so you'd need to check on that should your group have mobility concerns. Overall, this is a place that we will bring the whole crew to in the future.

The best I can say about this place is our Server was great. She was very nice and welcoming. The food left much to be desired the 4 ounce hamburger\deluxe burger was quite similar to a hockey puck. It was not flavorful. The fries were regular greasy spoon fries, the onion rings were undercooked as were the hush puppies. The tea tasted very watered down. They also had plate lunches and perhaps that food would have been better. the burgers were nothing to return for. One gentleman in our party went to the outdoor restroom, they were none indoors. He advised all of us ladies to avoid the restroom at all cost, it was nasty. I did not see it firsthand so I cannot state that definitely
