Places located in a strip mall while it did have good reviews it was in a seemingly seedyD edge of town. It's been my experience anytime you're near a convenience store that has those weird LED lights strong about the windows it's not the best area but I digress. The parking lot is super weird and it seems like you just kind of Park wherever you want there's no real method and it seems like they lose out on about 15 parking spots because it's not painted. The place is decorated rather nicely and they have a lot of Bourbons I really enjoy Corona na but nobody seems to carry it and this place was no exception so I had a Stella na instead. My wife and I were not famished so we both ordered a pretty simple house salad and we split a plate of chicken tenders which came with fries and coleslaw. You really can't screw up a salad too badly and they did pretty good here the chicken tenders were way overcooked chicken should not be that tough and you can tell by the breading that it was a lot darker than it was supposed to be but I still ate it. Not that it wasn't inedible I just wish it was not cooked as long. Pretty good portion of french fries coleslaw seems like it was standard food service coleslaw. Although I'm not drinking anymore they did have a whole boatload of Bourbons which in my younger days I probably would have tested quite a few of them so their name is true to the inventory. Music was a tad loud I kind of wish they had the ami jukebox where you can take it over and play your music either that or put the baseball game on something like that. Only reason for four stars was the overcooked chicken tenders. Decent place.

What a fantastic first-time last minute brunch decision!…read more Met up with my 2 girlfriends for a Sunday brunch on a holiday weekend and had the best time! Unfortunately, the weather was rainy so we didn't get to explore the whole property but from what we could see it is quite inviting, cute & COZY! The decor is so unique and I'm sure each time we go, we'll see something new which we hadn't seen before. We had an amazing server Paige! She was incredibly helpful when asked about the menu and incredibly patient and accommodating with our questions and changes/adds to our orders! This gal just glowed with personality, which made our experience that much better! The food was absolutely delicious...although at first difficult to choose from, but with the help from Paige, we each ordered three main brekkie entrees and shared them all... a perfect solution! We're looking forward to our next visit, which hopefully will be on a better weather day as you can peruse the property with cocktails in hand or what looks to be a very pleasant patio experience!

She made us feel completely comfortable and truly made an already wonderful meal even better. Exceptional service from beginning to end! The restaurant itself is adorable, modern, beautifully decorated, and has a lovely patio. But the service and food completely stole the show. We ordered several appetizers, including the bruschetta, fried green tomatoes, corn and ricotta dip, and pimento croquettes. I'm VERY picky, and I genuinely wouldn't change a single thing. Every dish was flavorful, perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and cooked exactly right. The bruschetta was so good that we ordered a second round! The fried green tomatoes were perfectly crisp with a delicious sauce, and the pimento croquettes were crispy on the outside, creamy inside, and paired perfectly with the sauce and pickles. The corn and ricotta dip was delicious as well. Nothing was too salty, under-seasoned, overcooked, or missing anything. The flavors were spot-on across the board. For dessert, we had the peach butter cake with everything on the side. The cake was delicious on its own and even better with the ice cream. It's rare to try so many dishes and not want to change a single thing, but that was the case here. The food was top-notch, and Olivia truly made the experience. We will definitely be back and will absolutely recommend this place to others. Amazing food, amazing service, and an overall experience that went above and beyond.

It was adifferent story for lunch -- I would avoid eating lunch here. They have a small bar area that they claim is full service, but with a very limited selection of beers. They supposedly had Yeungling beer on tap (my favorite) and I ordered a Tall glass of it. The beer tap ran dry, but they didn't have a spare keg of Yeungling to replace it with, so they simply put a paper cup over the handle and told me I was SOL. I was in there 4 days later and they still hadn't fixed the Yeungling. As far as lunch goes, I had a fish sandwich the first time and a BLT the next. Both were OK and edible, but nothing exceptional. It's basically a locals hangout breakfast place that offers lunch and dinner (on weekends) as a sideline. In summary, go for breakfast, but forget about lunch or dinner.
