A well rounded outing for the entire family.

What I can talk about here is the owner, and I can attest to her expertise and passion for the horses she takes care of. I don't know if there are any farms that are better, but Heidi is a pro and has forgotten more about taking proper care of horses than most people will ever learn. Whomever keeps popping in to deliver reviews slamming her either has an axe to grind or is off their meds. Clearly.

I hope they spruce the place up over time. Like many places post-COVID they have things on their website menu they no longer sell. My wife made a point of praising the hushpuppies, some BBQ joints are not worth eating but these were good. I was hoping for spare ribs, Kansa City style ribs or beef ribs but they don't do those anymore. The beans were good and worth eating, the brisket was moist and not too smoky. We generally liked everything. One thing for oaths with sensitive hearing, because there are few decorations and hard walls and floors the room is kind of loud and echoey. I hope they make some effort to soften the sound, hang some soft decorations or do something to make the sound more appealing instead of the sound of an empty warehouse.

This review is long overdue…read more Can't believe I haven't reviewed this restaurant yet. My experience with Thig's BBQ goes back to around 1999. I was stationed at Courthouse Bay and it was the first time I experienced Carolina whole hog bbq. Dan worked on base, but also provided the instructor staff with Carolina bbq and all the fixins'. I was hooked! After years of serving all over the place, I was happy to find out he opened his own place, Thig's BBQ House & catering. The family and I ate here a few times trying everything they had. Every time we come here, we know the food, service, and atmosphere is great. We enjoyed it so much, Thig's catered my retirement. All communication was through the daughter, who I believe handles the catering. I gave her the back story which she appreciated. She delivered the catering on time and set it all up. There was so much food! Brisket, pork, fried chicken, vegetables, and tea. Everyone raved about the food! I think we ordered too much, but it was worth it. We ate leftovers for as long as we could. I'm definitely impartial to Thig's for Carolina BBQ. I'll continue to enjoy this place as long as I can. Highly recommend giving Thig's a try!

"I'm going up the country Baby, don't you wanna go?…read moreI'm going where the water tastes like wine We can jump in the water Stay drunk all the time" (Country Joe McDonald and the Fish) I've been to weddings in quite a few cool places. On the beach in New Hampshire, way up high on a patio at the United Nations in Manhattan, on the grounds of the Jimmy Carter Library near Atlanta, in an Asian restaurant in Brooklyn, and at some beautiful Long Island waterfront venues. Well, we just went to another gorgeous wedding, located on over 300 acres of woodland trails and pastures in the country at a beautiful venue known as the English Country Barn of the Carolinas. The complex has indoor and outdoor spaces for any time of the year. The wedding ceremony was on a beautiful day, so the outdoor chapel was a perfect and scenic setting for the ceremony. The cocktail reception, bar, and appetizers were outdoors, where we had a great view of the horses roaming in their fenced area. When we moved inside for dinner, we saw a beautiful two-level reception hall with 30-foot-high ceilings. The bar, gift, and dessert tables were set up here. A second room accommodated the buffet dinner, a caricaturist, and a photo booth. The grounds are beautiful, and while we were walking around, we saw a gazebo, wooden bridge, and horse barns. I also learned that the property has overnight accommodations and gardens. The staff we interacted with was fantastic, and we loved every minute of our friend's wedding at the English Country Barn of the Carolinas.

I had the Asian Crunch with grilled shrimp and my hubby had the house salad with grilled tuna! We both loved the choices and almost licked our plates clean. We will rerun here for sure and try some of the regular entrees! Fun casual place and the staff were all friendly and helpful.

In my many trips to the AB area, I've driven by the old Mosquito often but it's always, always,…read morealways packed no matter the time of year. New plan for this trip. Step one should be the same for everyone. Get there when they open at 4:45 because damn does this place get busy quick even on weekdays. When I rolled into the parking lot at 4:40, I had probably 15-20 already at the door. Step two, if you get there at open, consider bar seating. Clam Chowder - Scalloped Scallops - Key Lime Pie I'll just keep it at this. Is anything I ordered going to reinvent the culinary wheel? No, and one could argue that the only negative here is that most everything is on the pricey side. But with that said, everything was extremely consistent, everything was brought out perfectly timed, my cup never runnethed (sure, it's a word) empty and the bar staff are all excellent conversationalists. Also one big upside, the ambiance. The bar area is kept dark as it should be in any bar type situation and the music selection was mostly a fantastic mix of classic R&B and Blues. Can't tell you the last time I enjoyed seafood while listening to John Lee Hooker (well, I can and it would be never which is why my mind was sort of blown). Groaney, groan, groan on some of the pricing but the overall situation here is worth the five stars. I get the hype and I get why it's always busy. Also, kudos to the owner who was up front and making sure to thank every single person that walked by/out the door. Very classy.

Gave us THE COMPLETE wrong order. Everything was seafood, which I medically can not eat. We were also on a strict timeline tonight due to leaving tomorrow to get me to a specialist. We We told by a very sweet boy, thT the manager said it didn't matter if we couldn't make it bake there, no credit would be issued without returning the other plates..knowing we were first time customers. We had to do a quick reshuffle of our plans, but made it back. My FIL, the reason we even got plates anyway (part of his Father's day), had to eat alone. I have spent a lot of my life in restaurants, if you can't give credit..most of the time you can ..then a manager usually personally apologizes. This one never stepped to the front, answered my call, nor called me. The sweet kid that took the order was so embarrassed and apologized so many times. His MANAGER should have done that. Also, NO we weren't ugly, Hubby even talked the sweet kid down when he was upset. When you have a first time customer and a mess up, as a Manager YOU step up. An I'm sorry goes a long way. As for the food, once we got it, it was great. I mean not the fries though, they were soggy, who likes soggy fries?​

While that was disappointing, I understand that delays happen. The bigger issue was the fly infestation toward the back of the restaurant. The flies were practically covering the mirror behind our table (as shown in my photos). While we were waiting for our food, they mostly stayed on the mirror and seats, but as soon as the food arrived, they were constantly landing on it. I spent the entire meal swatting flies away from our plates, which made it very difficult to enjoy our food. As for the food itself, the blueberry hush puppies were amazing! Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was disappointing. I ordered the Biscuit Shack, and it was served on tough bread with a slice of cheese that was still cold, as if it had just been taken out of the refrigerator and placed on top. Two other dishes at our table also had eggshells hidden in the food. Overall, between the flies and the food quality issues, we likely won't be returning.
