Not just that... we had to open a tab with him at the bar for our iced teas and then walk to another window to order food (on a separate bill) and then pick up our food at another window. I didn't ask if we were required to bus the tables ourselves when we were done. Problem is, I'm in a walking boot and that's just not possible. The bartender just shrugged so we left. I'm not sure if that's the norm here or we hit a day they were under staffed as we're out of towners. Either way, I know it's an incomplete review, but it was an incomplete experience, so this is the best rating I can offer.

I currently live in Oregon, but had come to the area where I grew up for family business. Admittedly, the time difference has always been very challenging for me whenever I return east, so I forget to eat until it's usually just about or past closing time for most joints. The staff didn't bat an eye when I sheepishly saddled in 30min to closing; hoping to not go to bed hungry...again. I was graciously served a juicy, flavorful burger with the warm, southern?/Appalachian? charm I don't realize I miss til I'm back home & it's right in front of me. The interior is comfy & no-nonsense. Don't change a thing folks!

We know this place all too well. We went here when this place was just the original small building…read more We come here every time we visit out to Devil's Backbone and its just a staple to always visit. The food and beer are pretty solid and facility is on point. The only issue that keeps this place from being a solid 5 is the customer service. Sometimes the servers are just not all 'there'. Either being super slow, not really attentive, or just not really caring, the training in this area is inconsistent. Overall, we know we'll keep coming out here for the good food and beer as that has always been a winner. Food Taste: 4 Overall Service: 3.5 Value of service to cost: 4 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Local vibe.

I've been to this restaurant multiple times and had a pleasant experience -- until the last time…read more Food was OK, although there were substitutions. But the service was so rude. I arrived a bit ahead of the reservation, and my friend was 5 minutes late. When delivering my iced tea in that interval, the waitress sighed heavily when I asked for a glass of water, too. When she returned to take both food orders, she sighed again, more audibly, rolled her eyes and checked her watch when my friend was not ready to order. After maybe 5 minutes, the waitress was back and my friend was ready. Waitress sighed impatiently once again when my friend asked what the side options were. Rather that rattle them off, she pointed at the back of the menu. Apparently we took too long to eat our entrees. The waitress grabbed my plate without asking if I was finished. I hadn't actually decided if I was finished and there was lots of food left on the plate. Nor did the waitress ask if I wanted a doggy bag. The bill arrived promptly, before we had a chance to ask about desserts. We were still working on our drinks, when the waitress shut off the electric lights over us. I asked, "Are going to sweep us out the door with a broom next?" She responded petulantly that the would start vacuuming soon and, looking at her watch once again, said the restaurant was closed. Now, perhaps this was the case of one rude waitress. But I will never go to SB&L again.

The space itself gives you a family bar feeling. Looks like it would be a great locals spot. They had enough tables for any size groups and it was very clean. For appetizers we had the fried pickles and pork rinds. I'd give the fried pickles a 2/5, they had flavor but lacked crunch. The breading was missing on 80% of the pickle. The pork rinds, FRIEND, those were probably the highlight of my meal. The sizzle and pop, the crunch, flavor...I'm drooling just thinking about them again. I don't think I can ever have them from a bag again. 5/5 Main Coarse we ordered the mac-n-skilled with pulled pork, the kids chicken taco with tots, brisket stuff shells, and brisket Philly cheesesteak with a side of hush puppies. Mac-n-skillet, the meat was a tad bit dry but had a good amount of cheese. Creamy. Only downside was the pork. 3.5/5. The Brisket Philly was cheesy, meat was good, great flavor just a bit too greasy. Hush puppies were good, nothing stood out in particular. 4/5. The kids chicken taco and tots were ok. Not enough cheese and the tortilla was hard, tots were just right. 3.5/5. The brisket stuffed shells were unique, loved the flavor just a bit too much cheese to meat ratio for me personally. The brisket was cooked perfectly. Would order again. 5/5 We were in and out in less than an hour. We were never rushed and the atmosphere was warm. The prices are reasonable as well.

Second time we've been here both returning from the shore…read more Forgot: Edit. VERY pet friendly. First, the service is excellent and speedy. I appreciated the selection of local beers on draft too. Found prices to be very reasonable these days. Next, the sides are out of this world. The green beans and collard greens really compete with the best Grammy homemade ones. Mac and cheese, hush puppies, and chicken tenders were on point. I thought the portion sizes were good for $3 sides. I had the ahí tacos and a side of brisket. lol. I wanted to try the brisket! The tacos has a nice flavor with an excellent sauce but the tuna was unseasoned. The biggest issue is the taco sat in juices from the toppings and became soggy quickly. A little easier on the toppings and it would be a really good dish. The brisket. Man if you hype up your bbq it better be on point. It was not. Crazy crazy dry and not really tender either. I got the flavor they intended with the oak smoke but that was really poorly cooked brisket. If you can find a good main dish everything else is lined up for a great meal. Maybe make a meal of the sides? :)

We had a large party and it was on their prime rib night…read more Drink orders were first, and it took an exceptionally long time to get our orders. It wasn't very crowded, maybe 6 or 7 other tables with 2-4 people each. You had to pre-order your prime rib to ensure they had one for you. Not wanting the prime rib, I ordered the pork chop dinner along with the two sides. They were out of pork chops. They asked what else I would like, I asked if they would do the prime rib at the pork chop price, about a $15 difference. They (the server) said no. The only other choice was sandwiches or a shrimp scampi. I didn't want either, so I just asked if I could get the sides instead (a baked potato and asparagus). She said she would put the order in. When the food came out, all I ended up with was my appetizer (6 oysters Rockefeller). I asked about the side and was told by yet another waitress that they don't do that. Three different waiters/waitresses. No manager ever came over. Way over priced (1 shrimp scampi -$32, one half Caesar salad - $6, one half order (6 anorexic) oysters Rockefeller-$19, 2 good old fashions - $30 plus a mandatory 20% gratuity. I still had to stop on the way home to get something to eat. Poor management and exorbitant pricing makes for a poor business model. But I guess the members get a pretty steep discount so they gouge the non-members to keep the doors open. Not likely to go back and would definitely NOT put my name on any kind of recommendation for this place. Spend your money elsewhere, anywhere, just not here.

Servers were friendly. Food is very good. Great big television to watch sports in the bar.read more
