    Dozen fresh oysters with a few left over wings in the background!
    Steve T.

    Great service and great meals. What is better than that? Who thought I could get great fresh oysters at a fair price in Gainesville, GA!? Outstanding. My first taste of Alabama White Sauce which I liked very much. I also love properly cooked chicken livers- not cooked dry. These were really tasty.

    Chopped bbq plate with beans and potato salad
    Debra S.

    My first time here. We got the chopped pork plate. I got the beans (had a red and green pepper taste) and potato salad (loaded baked potato taste) we also got the side salad (was fresh and good size) and fries ( fresh and seasoned enjoyed them a lot.) The barbecue was a bit dry for me. I would try the brisket next time. We also got the Southern edamame (boiled peanuts) they were hot and good with a slight spicy kick We were sat right away and our food came out quick. and the restaurant has lots of seating with bar area and very clean. They had a very good cleanliness rating.

    Had lunch there. Atmosphere is very bar, and while I did notnhave a drink, their selection was impressive. I did order a rib plate and a half dodozen oysters. The oysters were very tastasty, and the ribs were fine. Its definitely worth a stop if this combo interests you, thoughnthe rpices are high enough to really deter both oysters and bbq in the same meal.

    Brisket plate, mac and cheese, baked beans

    Was in Gainesville for work and smelled bbq in the air outside. Turns out to be this place so I had to go lol. I got the brisket plate with baked beans and mac and cheese. The brisket was a little too lean and this dry for my liking. Not horrible just not really juicy. The two sides were delicious. Mac and cheese was some kind of white cheese and maybe some wine sauce. Service was great but we were also the only people there since we got there early. Unfortunately didn't get to try the banana pudding because they didn't have any that day.

    Wasn't notified of items they were out of and still charged.

    I have ordered several times but won't again. My ubereats order was missing several item and neither the store solved the issue. Customer service is poor they actually hung up on me.

    Raw Oyster Platter!

    Seriously great BBQ, seafood and oysters! The Bar service is amazing, With the impressive display of liquor it sets the atmosphere

Of course the catfish was the star of the meal and the sides were ok. Price was reasonable too but remember to pay cash or pay a surcharge for card. I'll definitely be back.

    Three stars, but let me explain. We've had friends hype this place up.... Big time. It opened…read morenearly a year ago, just down the road from our house and haven't had the opportunity to try it until this week, but have always noticed the lines out door and the packed parking lot. Friday, we decided to go for a late lunch pick up. Let me say again... we only live about three miles from the restaurant. We arrive, it's around 3pm and the place is PACKED. It's an adorable place. Great ambiance, totally welcoming when you come in the door. They've got nice outdoor seating as well, with cornhole games and lighting. Nice touch, especially on a beautiful day. Walking in, we were greeted by the clerk at the register and informed it would be a 20 minute wait, which was fine. This having been our first time there, we both decided to order the sampler platter, which was one catfish filet, two chicken tenders, three shrimp, fries, and a hush puppy. For $16.99, it's a pretty good deal! We also ordered a side of cheese grits to try. The clerk was in the process of leaving and did so after taking our order. We waited. People came in after us and we watched them get their food before us. 15 minutes...20 minutes...30 minutes... finally about 35 minutes later, they come out with our order. We left. Drove the three miles home and opened the boxes. Everything was cold. Not Luke warm. Cold. Waiting that long doesn't bother me. But I do expect after that long, that the food be fresh. The fries had gone soggy, the batter on the fish, chicken, and shrimp were also soggy and starting to fall off. It was obvious that our food had been ready for a bit and then sat back there longer than necessary. And this is where my husband and I part ways on opinion... I do NOT generally care for catfish. Never have. I actually had asked the first clerk if I could sub that part out for flounder, but she said, no. I'm glad she did. Hands down, best catfish experience ever, even though it was cold and falling apart. Zero muddy, off taste that I normally associate with catfish. It honestly was delicious and if that's what it's like cold, then I can only imagine how good it would be fresh. I also liked the shrimp, the chicken, and the hush puppy- although I will say... I was a bit disappointed to see there was only one, it to be fair, it was gigantic. It was NOT soggy, so I don't know what happened there. Anyway, the hush puppy was crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside with bits of corn throughout. The shrimp, though I liked it, lacked a bit on seasoning and I can say the same about the chicken. That said, the chicken was juicy and tender. Not quite Gus's or Gutheries quality, but head and shoulders above Zaxby's or Huey Magoos. I could honestly take or leave the fries but that's me... I don't particularly like crinkle cuts, especially after they've gone soggy, which is why I don't like Zaxby's. My husband, however, was disappointed overall. The only thing we agreed on was that the catfish was really good, but he did point out that between the fish, chicken, and shrimp, they all had the exact same batter...the catfish just carried it better. I did love the grits and would pick that as my side over the fries. Just a matter of preference, there. Here's the thing- we do our best to support local, small businesses, pointedly ones who are veteran owned, and recognize that small businesses, in particular, are especially vulnerable to bad or off days. Based on all the reviews from people we personally know, we're positive that's exactly what happened to us on Friday. So, in light of that experience, I'm giving it 3 stars with the promise that we will try again and I will edit this review to reflect that second experience. Overall for me, I'd go back for the catfish any day and they showed me how good that one thing can be when it's done right. As for my husband and his opinion of the other items... I pointed out that it's not called Brookton SHRIMP OR CHICKEN School. Catfish is what they specialize in, and as far as I'm concerned, they nailed it.

The food is excellent, and the service even more top notch. Both owners are there every time we go, and support their staff in a very positive manner and chip in wherever is needed. Sanctuary has been so awsome, and the seasonal changes of the menu provide such a quality variety, we find it hard to want to try other places now. I'd give it 10 stars if I could!

    We came in on a Saturday night as a party of two with no reservation, and they were kind enough to…read moreseat us. Our waiter was pleasant, attentive, and genuinely tried -- so none of this reflects on him. We tip regularly, and we still did, because the issues we experienced felt more like management and kitchen pacing, not server error. The biggest problem was the timing of the food, and it was honestly awful. Our soups and appetizer came out almost at the same time, which I could have overlooked -- but then the entrée was dropped on the table immediately after the soup, with no pacing at all. It wasn't even our waiter bringing the food; it was other staff members just setting plates down without checking where we were in the meal. Because my entrée was seafood, it cooled down quickly while I tried to finish the earlier courses. Then the scallops came out undercooked, partially clear in the center. When I mentioned it, the waiter said it's a common complaint because they don't cook them long or they fall apart. He took them back, and they came out more cooked -- still not great, but at least edible. The dish itself (with black bean hummus, corn, and avocado) wasn't worth the price. The corn tasted like cold canned corn, and overall the entrée just didn't feel special. My husband had the spinach, chicken, and bacon salad and enjoyed it. Both soups -- tomato basil and butternut squash -- were delicious. The brie rosemary dip was just okay. There were a few flies around the table, which was annoying, and the inside is a bit dark, so more lighting would help. I can see myself coming back to try more soups, salads, appetizers, and burgers here, but I'll avoid the dinner entrées unless reviews become more consistently positive. There's definitely room for improvement, especially with pacing and kitchen execution.
