    a wooden statue of a bee
    Diana P.

    Stopped here on our way home for an early dinner. I had a turkey club sandwich and fries. My hubby had the all you can eat ribs. He was very pleased with the ribs. He had 2 large helpings. We both thought the fries were very flavorful and crispy. The restaurant was new, clean, with a modern decor. Our service was friendly and attentive. The prices were fair and meals were plentiful. We were very pleased with our visit.

    Very good food, great service. I drive in from up north on purpose to eat there. Then broasted chicken is the best around.

    Great breakfast! Biscuits and gravy and hash browns. Free BJ's for any Hispanic males made my breakfast special.

Next time you consider going out for a meal or don't feel like cooking, come here. Don't go to the big chains, the food, service and quality overall are so much better with Wesley!

    Worth the wait?! First any potential patrons need to understand two things going In, one, except…read morefor pop/bottled water, we're talking a BYO liquor situation. Thing #2, this is a ONE-MAN OPERATION. Yup, he's the waiter, the prep-cook, the chef, the front-end manager AND the 'cashier'. At least that's the deal on Thursdays when we typically go. Ultimately, the first point works in your favor, cuz with a little forethought, a small cooler and your favorite beverage, you will likely save you and yours at least $10. As for the second premise, our suggestion is to ask for timeframes early and often...then get comfy and DOUBLE those estimates. Hopefully your company (and/or your phone) will make the time disappear without notice, because it'll honnestly be a bit. Wes is a very busy man...and he tends to tell you what you wanna hear - the only things actually preventing a fifth Yelp star. Just know that the chances are quite good that it will have been well worth the wait. Mac-N-Cheese, killer. Steaks, juicily executed extremely well. Combinations of proteins always seem to mesh well, even in something as simple as a wrap. And just when you think you understand what it is that he does really well, he throws a chicken and waffle dish that blows away anything else in town, possibly any other such attempt at this iconic southern dish. (Pro tip, try a side of jerk sauce or BYO Tobasco.) Perhaps he has assistance on the weekends - one would hope so anyway, but this place definitely makes us appreciate hard work, good times and outstanding cooking. Great take out game too!

We decided to go with the rustic pizzas that were delicious and unusual: harmony, Korean, chicken and loaded supreme. The crust tasted like it was from a woodfired oven and the Korean chicken pizza was so unusual and tasty with kimchi and pickled shiitake. The fresh from the forest mushroom side dish they gave us a special treat to us was quite a delicacy. Even the farm to table items they have for sale when you walk in to take home are a treat, Especially the homemade marshmallows! Ended with dessert of a fresh orange olive oil cake with just tremendous flavor and blood orange on the side and orange marmalade on the cake. It served exquisitely with a side of homemade ice cream that was to die for. We can't wait to come back! Our waitress, Lupe, treated us like family and was incredibly personal and warm. Put this on your must visit List.

For sure it's not a place if looking for high quality eats. They're cheap though. A gathering place for the locals is why this place sticks around. It's not like there's many other places to go around here. There was an okay crowd when we came in. Booze is why people come. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail so okay prices. Food is lacking. It's about $3 for the cheapest appetizers such as fries or whatever. Among the entrees are some burgers. They also have breakfast stuff. Basic things like bacon and eggs. There's not a whole lot of vegetarian choices and most things are fried. Chill place as far as atmosphere. It's got some pretty weird hours. They're closed Sundays.

Certainly wasn't crowded on a Tuesday night, but the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Beer selection was only domestics, which was disappointing for me, but understandable for the area. They took cash only, and luckily we had a little bit that night. They claim to have the best burgers in the area, so I had a double bacon cheeseburger while my wife at the BLT. Prices were extremely reasonable. My double-cheeseburger with bacon was excellent. Appeared to be hand-made and decent size. If I had known how large a double was, I would have ordered a single. Not too greasy, yet smashed. The bun was buttered and grilled. Truly a great burger. The fries that were shared were hot and crispy. Jukebox played a lot of Chris Stapleton while we were there. All-in-all, would definitely go back.
