This was our second visit to this hidden gem in just five weeks. We live in New Jersey and vacation…read moreat Smith Mountain Lake, and we've made this restaurant a special stop whenever we travel through the area. The food and service are outstanding. Brian was our server both times, and he even remembered what we ordered on our previous visit--a level of hospitality that's hard to find. I had the salmon, which was cooked perfectly, and my wife happily ordered the crab cakes again because they were just as delicious as she remembered. P.S. Don't leave without trying the Dreamsicle cheesecake--it was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal!

Our waitress, I believe her name was Emily, was so sweet and very helpful when it came to deciding what to order. She was very personable, and we chatted with her about all kinds of things whenever she'd come by the table. This place had comfortable booths, and a lovely bar. They have a great happy hour menu, which we ordered from. Do not miss the truffle popcorn. I am still dreaming of this! Truffle oil and parmesan cheese on perfectly popped and salted popcorn. We also had the hot honey and Parmesan chicken wings which were crisp and delicious, and a harvest salad. So good. We would be here all the time if we lived close. Do not miss this place if you are in town!

They can help you pick the taste you are searching for but know that its pretty expensive. Like $10 for a can of beer. They also have food. I bought a basket of fried pickles. They were different.

A straightforward burger spot with a clean setup and a clear focus. One visit, mid-day, not overly…read morebusy, which made it easy to see how things run without pressure. **FOOD** The burger delivered. Good flavor, cooked properly, and built with some balance. Nothing overworked or trying too hard. It came out the way a burger should. That alone puts it ahead of a lot of places. Portion and price lined up well. No stretch there. Food: **SERVICE** Staff handled things well. When asked about the menu, they gave clear recommendations without dragging it out or pushing anything. Food came out in a reasonable time, no confusion, no missed steps. It was a lighter crowd, so it's not a stress test, but what was there was handled cleanly. Service: **AMBIENCE** The space is clean and comfortable. Nothing distracting, nothing out of place. There's a bit of a modern quiet to it. A few groups sitting together, all on their phones. Not the restaurant's fault, but it does change the feel of the room. Two people in the whole place actually looking up from their tables. That stood out more than anything else. **CLOSING** This is a place that does the basics right. Good burger, fair price, solid service, clean environment. Nothing flashy, but nothing falling apart either. That's usually what keeps a place in rotation. **RATINGS** Food: **** Service: **** Ambiance: **** Overall: **** Personal Disclaimer: I value small, independent restaurants and want them to succeed. This review reflects a single visit and may not represent every experience. EVERY RESTAURANT IS WORTH TRYING FOR YOURSELF. Go, see what you get, and be honest in how you evaluate it. I've worked as an executive chef, restaurant manager, and owner. I tend to hold places to a higher standard. Execution matters. Freshness matters. Effort shows. Cutting corners usually does too.

The decor is awesome - license plates and college pennants are everywhere. There is one pool table and guests were playing when we were there. We saw a steady stream of customers come in for to-go orders so it seems like they have quite the following. We had drinks and fries since we had dinner plans elsewhere but didn't want to miss this gem. The fries were good but the ranch dressing is what makes them - worth the stop for the dressing. Make sure you look around at all of the funny and interesting memorabilia on the walls. Cash only so be prepared!!!

I had the Chicken pesto pasta. The pesto was very tasty. Chicken was overcooked. Pasta was slightly overcooked. Overall it was a very tasty dish. My primary complaint is the portion size. I ordered large but my bowl was only about half full. There wasn't alot of chicken in my dish. My daughter inlaw had the smash burger. She loved it but the patties needed seasoning. The smash burger was assembled nicely and overall very tasty. Fries were nice and crunchy. Overall a good meal and pleasant dining experience.

One person in our party said her salad had the best dressing she's ever had. The fried pickles were good. The shrimp was good. One bartender was good. Cons - We walked in and basically weren't sure what to do. There was a woman at we thought was a hostess stand, but she never said anything to us. We finally asked if we needed to check in with her to get seated. We did. But it was kind of weird. One bartender was awful. Never made eye contact. Wouldn't take any orders. Acted like she wanted to be anywhere else. I thought the Caesar salad was ok. It came with lacquered salmon. I would have loved the salmon, but not lacquered. It couldn't be made to order. Ok fine. I ordered it the way it was described. There was nothing lacquered about that salmon. It also was shredded on top of the salad and was maybe two ounces. That's ridiculous. Our server wasn't very helpful and not very attentive. I'm sure many people have had great experiences there, but I'm not sure I would take the time to go back.
