Oh my goodness, this British gastropub is the real deal! I quickly checked the Yelp reviews, and…read moremade an evening reservation, not checking what the parking situation was like. Well, my bad - their website includes multiple accessible places to park in and around the village. That said, we got it, and decided to belly up to the bar for a better look at the offerings and the place in general. Matt O was our server. I started with a delicious Scottish Ale, and my companion had a glass of wine. Prices are reasonable. My companion ordered and raved about the Shepherd's Pie. I had Bangers & Mash - sausage (3 pieces) with imported horseradish mustard, mashed potatoes, gravy, delicious baked beans. It went perfectly with my pint! It was a warm afternoon so the glass garage doors were opened wide and folks were eating and drinking outside in the beer garden too. The vibe was loud, lively and very positive. Music was old school British Invasion '60s style. Good times seemed to be had by everyone. We finished with a locally produced Chocolate Rum Cake - it was rum forward and smooth, dark chocolatey! Highly recommended.

My family and I recently visited The Last Queen, and overall, there was a lot to appreciate. The…read morerestaurant does an excellent job creating an authentic British pub experience. The atmosphere was charming, the décor was exactly what we were hoping for, and the menu felt genuinely true to British cuisine rather than a themed interpretation. Unfortunately, our visit took place on a colder day, and the large garage-style door connecting to the outdoor seating area was left open. As a result, the entire restaurant felt quite cold throughout our meal. Since we were dining with our infant son, this made it difficult to fully enjoy the experience and was our biggest disappointment of the evening. In fact, it was cold enough that we kept our coats on throughout dinner, which made it hard to relax and enjoy the atmosphere the restaurant had worked so hard to create. We also ordered the fish and chips. The quality of the fish was very good, and it was clearly prepared with care. However, the portion size left something to be desired. The meal included only one medium-sized piece of fish, which felt small for a dinner entrée, especially considering the price point. While the food itself was enjoyable, we were hoping for a more substantial serving. Despite these issues, The Last Queen delivered on atmosphere, authenticity, and food quality. I would be willing to give it another try, particularly during warmer weather, as I believe the temperature and comfort level had a significant impact on our overall experience.

Service was friendly and helpful. I was looking forward to the French onion soup and enjoyed it. It's a different take than I've had before, but still good. When I'm at new places I like to try to pick something I normally wouldn't order. So I skipped the pretzel and beer cheese in favor of the whipped ricotta small plate. It was spectacular. The combination of the cheese with the vinaigrette, carrots and toast just worked. The owner visits every table. It's a nice touch without being intrusive.

The restaurant was a lot more kitschy than I was expecting, which I loved. Our waitress had a wonderful energy. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. The menu had several unique items. I ordered a Scottish soda called IRN BRU. I love trying food and drinks from around the world. It tasted like an Orange Crush soda. Our waitress said they were known for their Cauliflower soup. It was cold outside so soup sounded perfect. I also got a pepper jack grilled cheese. The soup came in a huge bowl. The combo of the soup and grilled cheese was very filling. My friends ordered the sticky pudding. I had a bite and it was delicious. I cant believe it's taken me so long to eat here. I throughly enjoyed it and cant wait for my next road trip.

My wife had the pork chop which comes with these amazing mashed potatoes with mustard seasoning that will blow your mind. She can never finish because it's so much food, which is OK with me because I help her out some. My favorite way to eat this is to mix a little mashed potato, mustard and pork chop together into one delicious bite. We were too full for dessert, but the times that we had the dessert here were spectacular as well. Thank you to all the people that work at Paynes, please don't change anything, you are the best!

Strongly suggest the owners invest in the Chez Georges Bistro Hilton Head recipe. Graclyn merits attention as energic server. As a PLUS, there is an Ohio State Lamp to gree customers. Surely the owners can think of a more creative name; how about Doubleday's South.

This was my first experience with Hawkins. I found the two operators to be very friendly and…read morecustomer focused. You can tell that Hawkins has a mission to share Jesus while they serve you fish. I admire them for putting their faith forward and in action. Cooking fish on site is not a fast process. So they were apologist about the long wait. The truck is very clean and in good repair. The menu is rather small but has enough options to satisfy. On this occasion we ordered the white fish and perch baskets along with fried okra and fried green beans. I really like fried okra as I was born in the south. The breading was nice. The thickness was just right but it didn't have much taste. It wasn't greasy which was good! The okra pieces were small. It's hard to have fresh okra. These pieces were probably frozen as I miss the rich taste of a large-moist piece of okra. The green beans were a lot like the okra. They are unique and mildly greasy. The breading didn't have much taste and the green bean lacked that fresh moist snap I would prefer. The French fries that came with the baskets were good. They were crisp, medium cut and mildly greasy. Hawkins provided too little ketchup for the fries while providing a large packet of ranch for the beans and okra. Both the fish baskets were good. The breading had a slight spice flavoring. Some of the fish has a little stronger salt taste than I expected as most pieces did not. The fish was fresh and didn't taste/smell fishy. The fish flaked off in firm and small pieces - nicely done without too much of a grease flavor. I have to admit that I was disappointed when they handed me a couple small packets of tarter sauce. I love fish with my tarter sauce. This sauce packet was very bland and didn't do anything to help me enjoy the fish more.

Do not, do not, DO NOT let the low rating fool you. EVERY SINGLE 1 AND 2 STAR RATING IS OVER 2…read moreYEARS OLD!!!! Yet, every single review after those have been raving, for good reason. You won't find a 5 star meal here. Hell, you won't even find a Chili's style dining experience. What you will find is a lot of good food, for cheap, made by a nice family that have done this for decades. The backdrop of the place itself, with its vaguely diner aesthetic and small but gallant display of award plaques, is secondary to the view of seeing 30 people crammed into this place for the lunch rush. Normal, every day people getting their usual lunch. That's the type of place this is. You won't ever find this place in a fancy top 10 list, but it'll be top 10 in my heart.
