    Half shell oysters were great.

    They have 10/dz half shell on Sunday. They were fresh and the seafood platter was great. They have a full bar too. I definitely recommend this place. There was only one server but, she worked really hard to get all our order out correctly on a busy day. Support local businesses. Eat here.

    You can easily pass this restaurant. It's on a strip of businesses that are not very eye popping. You can see the sign from the road but again it's hard to tell if it's a restaurant or another business. The size of the restaurant is not very big. Maybe 10 tables max and u would never know it's a restaurant but the wall decor and bar setup made it friendly and comfortable. What really earned the four stars from me is the service and the food. Our server was a one woman wrecking crew. Started out as the only table of four with a few people at the bar, to 7 tables full and more bar guests. Our server handled it all with a friendly positive attitude never losing her cool and remained sweet the entire time. Having a spicy tongue I was glad to see they had hot wings. What most people don't know about this restaurant is that they have a sauce known as the hottest pepper in the world, Carolina Reaper. I was amazed they had it as almost no one does. I had to try it. We also ordered the Sampler which included 3 appetizers from the choice of 7, and Roosters which is their version of baked oysters with Parmesan, bacon and jalapeños. Back to the Carolina reaper wings. We were real nervous to try them cuz again your talking about the hottest pepper in the world. Wasn't a terrible hotness to them. Outside lips burned a little and only ate 3 so I could eat everything else. I felt that it should have been spicier but also know that a few more wings ilI might have felt the hotness a lot more. All in all we liked the place. Small comfortable and even have live entertainment. Gonna make this a regular spot while we are here in Albany.

    The oysters and fried pickles are awesome. The staff was great but the beer service was a little slow

    As someone who has been reviewing for Yelp for a long time, this has to be the absolute worst…read moredining experience I've ever had. I mean that very seriously. On Saturday, 2/28, I came into the restaurant at 6:15pm with a group of 6. Looking around the restaurant, there were only 3 tables taken. The Hostess wanted to put us a table, but it wouldn't fit us all. We asked her where to sit and she told us to decide on seating. We had to suggest to put a table together and started to move it ourselves, then she helped. Just odd because we had no idea if they had a table to seat us. While waiting for the server, the table in front of us asked for to-go boxes and was told they only have the bottoms, no lids. She brought plastic wrap to cover their leftovers. They were not happy and left without a lot of their leftovers. Our service came out and was very sweet. She honestly was the nicest person at that restaurant and she deserves to go somewhere that she can make better money. She told us they only had beer and wine, but only a few on the wine list. Sometimes if it was asked for, they said they didn't have it. I stuck to a Coke. We ordered as follows: Me: Loaded Baked Potato (yes that's it.) Person 2: wedge salad Person 3: cornbread skillet Person 4 and 5 had burgers. One had cheddar cheese with everything on it. The other had everything BUT pickles. We waited about an hour for our food. Person 5's burger came out and the fries were cold. I'm not meaning lukewarm, I mean COLD. Like out a fridge. They hadn't even been cooked all the way. Person 4's burger came out without cheese. Both of those were sent back to get that fixed. Person 4's burger came back with a piece of half melted (what looked like) American cheese on the bottom of the burger and the burger was BURNT. I mean, hockey puck burnt. When the fries were sent back, we could hear the cook SCREAMING AND THROWING THINGS, yelling that we "weren't right" and he "had just took those up". The server even felt them and agreed with us. My baked potato came out hard. I couldn't really even eat it. It was hard, bland and it was covered in sour cream, even the outside. A runner came over to bring some salt and pepper and I asked her if she wouldn't mind letting us talk to a manager. Everyone there said I was polite in asking, as we just wanted to tell her what was going on, not trying to get anything free. When I asked, she threw her hands up in the air, slapped her hips, rolled her eyes and stomped away. The people around us even looked at her. They also could hear the cook yelling. We did see another couple send their food back as well while we were waiting. The manager comes over and when we tell her everything, she tells us she agrees and that she's working on getting better help, as we could see what she was working with there. We just asked her for the check and asked to go. We hear the manager try to talk to the team and the cook begins to scream and talk down to her. Then, he came out and stared at our table. If looks could kill, we would all be dead. The thing is- burgers there are $18. We didn't get anything hard to make but only the salad and the cornbread were fit to eat. They did comp our meal, but we continued to ask them to let us pay. Instead, we ended up giving the money to the server. She can only do what she can and she was so sweet. I do have multiple people who will attest to everything that happened. That was the whole experience. We walked outside and immediately went to get something else to eat. We came to the American because this was our first time in town and we had heard great things about it! Of course, we had seen it on TV as well, so we were very excited. The next night, another couple we knew went there and had the same experience. She was the only table in there and they still took over an hour and her food was terrible. This is absolutely so disappointing. The American used to be THE destination down here but now, it's the one everyone is telling people NOT to go to. We talked to our hotel host and they said they wished we would have asked because they would have told us to stay away. It's a shame. I really hope they can get some new people in there who care about food and making it good! I'd love to come back if they're able to improve and change my review. I do have 5 other people who are willing to attest to this, so as much as I wish it was an exaggeration, it's not.

Good drink selections with both local and more faraway craft options for beer. Elevated Southern/Georgia fare on the menu. For appetizers, try the cornbread and heirloom tomato pie. You can get quality fried chicken, pork chop, and grits here. I had the Pecan Crusted Idaho Trout. The sauce was bit cloying but the fish was tasty. Service was quick and competent, especially with a large group. Definitely one of the best dining options in downtown, and right next door to the brewery.

This restaurant is beautifully decorated! It could very well fit in at theme parks, like Universal Studios. It's Clean, spacious, lighting on the dimmer side. It's a fantastic date night spot. We were blessed to have Diamond tending to us, and she was outstanding! Customer Service doesn't get any better than what she gave. I imagine she'd be just as great if the place were absolutely slammed. Our food was pretty basic. We got spicy fried wings as an appetizer. They were pretty good. The chicken fettuccine Alfredo had small bits of white meat chicken, and not a lot of it. We also had a 14oz Ribeye, collards, & mashed potatoes. All the food was ok. Not good enough to rave about, not bad enough to complain about. Just basic . I'm glad I finally checked it out though. The overall experience was worth the visit. If you're ever in this area, you should stop by:)

    We were passing through Albany for the night and remembered we enjoyed a Cheddar's in another city,…read moreso we decided to stop by. Service was fast and kind. We started with the Wisconsin Cheese Bites which were SO good. Basically like normal Mozzarella Cheese Sticks, except bite sized. Probably my favorite thing about the visit! I got the New Orleans Pasta and my husband ordered the Country Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and red beans and rice. My pasta was really good, but the sausage kinda got to me after a few bites. You ever try something and it's fine at first, but the more you eat it, you're like, "ummm, maybe not..."? My husband loved the chicken, but was disappointed to see the red beans and rice had bell peppers and onions in it. I tried them myself and ehh, they weren't the best. Maybe we had Popeye's red beans and rice as the expectation. Still, overall a good experience and we'd definitely go back.

Lucky for me, they already had someone else pulled over, so I finally did something I'd never done: I stopped at Red Dawg Grill. Now, I've seen this place countless times over the years. The building? Real unassuming. But if you're from the South, you know--that's usually where the magic happens. Soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the sweetest cashier I've ever encountered--Casey. Genuinely kind, patient, and warm. She gave us time to review the very extensive menu. Ribs and shrimp were sold out (which helped narrow things down), so I kept it simple: Bacon cheeseburger, all the way, no onions. Side of okra. The food came out quicker than expected. The cook actually brought it to the second pickup window himself and even stopped to make small talk. Already, it felt like home. I couldn't wait--I popped open that white styrofoam box before I even left. First thing I saw? Fried hard okra. Now, I didn't even ask for it that way, but when I said, "Casey, y'all knew to fry the okra hard?" she laughed and said, "Girl, in these woods, everybody wants the okra fried hard!" They had me at the okra. The burger? Premade patty, but I wasn't mad at it. Seasoned to perfection. I even opened it up and saw black pepper specks--so you know they cared. The mayo-to-pickle-to-cheese ratio? On point. Every bite was just right. At some point, even the Warwick PD must've decided to take a break from pulling folks over... because they came in for a bite, too. And that's when I smiled and thought to myself-- even these guys know... if you're gonna get pulled into something in Warwick, let it be the food.
