The entire staff, with Rivers as the obvious leader, works very hard to see that everyone in the place is pleased with their experience from the moment you enter until you leave. It was the best experience I've had at a restaurant in a long time! The food, service, attention to detail and the ambiance were second to none! I'm already planning my next opportunity to dine at Old Man Rivers!

My family ate here on a road trip a week ago. One of our children uses a power wheelchair, which…read morewas not a problem because the restaurant has a ramp to get in the building and the staff and Rivers himself were extremely accommodating. We each got a different sandwich and they were each delicious. I got the Harvest Turkey - the fig jam is delightful! My oldest got the cubano - excellent! My daughter got the chicken salad - it was good but it is a chunky style, so if you prefer it with smaller chunks it may not be for you. My youngest got grilled cheese - you can't go wrong with that! (It's not technically on the menu but the waitress offered it when he said he didn't know what to get.) Finally, my husband got the catfish po-boy and said, "It's the best piece of blackened fish I've ever had!" (I agree!) The remoulade and cajun sauces were good, too. The varied salt and pepper sets added whimsy to the homey atmosphere, too!

When the first waitress took our drink orders, all four of us asked for water, and three of us…read moreasked for alcoholic beverages. She brought four glasses of water. She then came back later to take orders for three alcoholic beverages. Then a second waitress came to ask if we were ready to order food when we hadn't even been given menus yet. She brought menus, and never came to our table again. Then a young male came to our table and took our food orders. After waiting for at least 40 minutes, we had gotten two alcoholic beverages. One of us never got the beer he ordered. Nobody ever came to say anything about the long wait or if we had anything else to drink, etc. I observed that others in the restaurant also did not get their food that they ordered before we had placed our order. We left $20 on the table to pay more than enough for the two drinks we got and walked out. Very odd experience. It will be our last one at this place.

I was extremely pleasantly surprised by my dinner here. It was phenomenal from the decor, seating,…read morevibes, menu, and service. I was alone and asked for a quiet table in the back - I looked at the patio which was really nice and spacious, but it was about 95 degrees so I chose to sit inside due to that. I was seated at a nice booth alone with tons of space and a friendly waitress came to explain the menu to me and take my order. I had a mocktail made that was very good - and they only charged $5 for all mocktails which I appreciate. As a non-drinker it irritates me to pay $13-18 for juice that doesn't even have alcohol. I chose the house salad and it was by far the best I've ever had. Loaded with fresh veggies, delicious dressing, cheese and some breadcrumbs I think. Great size and portion for the price and fabulous combination of items. I chose the salmon with peaches and cream couscous. The salmon itself was wonderful - but that couscous was so good, I could not stop eating it. It had corn and fresh peaches and it was the perfect combination of salty and sweet. For dessert - I went with the Chocolate Bomb.com but found it to be wayyyyy too salty with the toffee, salt, and combo. I wish I'd gotten their famous cheesecake but, next time! Loved everything about this spot. Very elegant and no portion of my food wasn't clearly well planned and carefully prepared. Highly, highly recommend. Located on a fabulous street near many other charming shops.

The ambiance, especially the bar area is beautiful and can feel somewhere between an elevated casual to mid-high end experience. Some things I'd like to see happen here: (1) a more true and robust brunch menu and please get an espresso machine, (2) brunch could use some live music and/or a dj (like a toned-down Stateside Kitchen vibe or a jazz trio--something--anything). The food is so good here, there is no reason this place shouldn't be absolutely packed on a Sunday.

If you've been up on Signal Mountain, you know just how beautiful that setting is. Civil Provisions is a cute spot, with equal seating inside and out. While I was there to sample their burger entry, everyone else ordered off menu, which from my perspective, was underwhelming. I'm not exactly sure what this place is trying to be, based upon their everyday menu. While our server was very pleasant, overall, service was very slow. The food, and this was a consistent theme at our table, was just average. As much as I enjoyed the setting, there is nothing from my experience that will stimulate my return.
