We enjoyed the mimosa special while waiting on our order. The staff were so welcoming and a joy. We ordered country fried steak, chicken and waffles, and French toast. All the dishes were so flavorful and cooked just right. I was able to sample some local South Carolina whiskey. The prices are really good and the facility is nice and well put together. This will be a regular spot for sure.

We ordered a bourbon on the rocks and it was well made. We tried the chips and salsa. The chips…read morewere really good but the salsa tasted like it was poured out of a jar. We also tried the burger and beef patties with brown gravy, fried okra, and onion rings. The burger was pretty bad - not cooked well and not very tasty. The beef patties with gravy were just passible. The okra was excellent and the onion rings were good. The place is very very loud and the exhaust does not work very well so the place is filled with cooking fumes. The service was good.

It was a hand made patty. I think it was about 1/3 pound. Well worth the price and wait. If you want fresh food and don't mind waiting, try them out. The workers were polite and willing to answer my questions.

We started our meal with beers and fried pickles which they were right when they said the fried pickles were delicious. Next onto the wings, we tried spicy ranch and should've gone with a different sauce however the crunchy outside, moist inside and flavor is what you want with wings. Next to the burgers which hit the spot at approx. 1/2lb a patty. A hidden gem for sure and can't wait to come back.

The hushpuppies were done very well and had a slight sweetness to them. The only reason im not giving it 5 stars is because I wasn't a fan of the tilapia, but I think that might be a "me" thing. Maybe my tastebuds have grown away from the soft texture of it. I wish I just got the shrimp instead. Lastly, the service was very good and I loved the atmosphere. Definitely coming back for a big shrimp basket.

They have their signature cocktails or you can ask them to make something. Nonetheless, prices were surprisingly good compared to what I had expected. I ordered 3 drinks and spent $31 without tip. The inside is very cabin-y and cozy. They have an upstairs which is small, but the outside is cute for a group hangout. I will say though be aware of parking. It gets full fast! Their lot gets filled up quick, the side parking lot by the florist also fills up, and also the place across the street fills up too. It may be smarter to uber for the sake of parking. Overall, definitely would come back here for the drinks and the attentive service I got here!

I walked in thinking that I would be a sore thumb amidst a crowd of young adults, but that was far from the case. The bartenders and bar back are some of the better ones that I've met in the industry. You can tell them an idea if the type of drink you would like and they'll make you one of the best cocktails you've had. The parking lot is skates clean, there's ample seating outside, and shine lights it may get a little loud, but it's always clean.

Add to that a bartender that never forgets anything and awesome music...what more could you want. That's right, Thursday nights include an awesome open mic. Lots of local artists and some visitors (I met a performing couple from Virginia) show up to entertain us all. You're sure to hear songs that you know and love as some of the musicians play acoustically and some with driving electric tones. Don't forget to visit the restrooms upstairs. The men's room is interesting and quite tight but nicely appointed down to the guitar-shaped mirror. I hope to see you there!

It's dark (did I mention that?), chill vibe, a proper bar with barstools, booths, sweet tunes, and a pinball machine. Combo that with the affordability of drinks in this town and yep, I'm a fan. I came here with a couple of local friends and instantly felt at home. We played a few rounds of pinball, then chilled out in a booth by the window. I was totally surprised that you could smoke inside, which is a plus for me in the winter (but others may want to take note that there is definitely smoking inside here). The cocktails were great and the had a range of beer from PBR to your popular crafty labels. Totally a fan and I'll def be back when in Augusta again!
