I liked how they offered a variety of options from beer, cocktails, frozen drinks (can add alcohol for +$), and other non-alcoholic beverages. Decided on a mule, which was just what I needed for a hot day - refreshing! I also tried some of the frozen strawberry drink (no alcohol), which was very icy. Definitely needed something else so it wouldn't be all ice. The bartender was kind enough to make a lemonade, which one of my sons wanted - he enjoyed it! If you can't decide on a beer, you can ask for a sample! Plenty of seating inside or just outside the store (both indoors and outdoors).

First, about a 10-15 min detour from 95, free parking, cute little area with restaurants and a hiking trail. Restaurant is beautiful. Staff are efficient and friendly. Made great recs. Food is fairly priced and most importantly delicious! The owners are at the restaurant, the chef Ed, who's also from Philly! Came out to speak to us. His wife Yalem is beautiful and brought us to our table. We would highly recommend to anyone! I'm going to have to come back because they sold out of the peach crisp :(

We made a reservation weeks in advance and got seated without any problem when we got here. It was…read morea very busy Sunday lunch time during the graduation season. Ambiance was casual. They have a big space though there are also a lot of chairs and tables around. Food was good. The brisket was tender. Options for sides include mac & cheese, collard greens, string beans, broccoli, Spanish rice, potatoes au gratin, baked beans, coleslaw, fruit salad, corn bread, yams, french fries, etc. The coleslaw and baked beans were also good. For desserts, we enjoyed the bread pudding and peach cobbler. Would have given this place a 4/5 for food but service was really bad. Food took a long time to be served. This we understood because it was really a busy day. Because the cloth napkins smelled like rancid oil, we just asked for paper napkins. This took ~30 minutes before we got some. We also asked for some condiment. Since no one was checking on our table, we had to stand up and approach one of the staff to follow up on this, not once but twice but some vinegar never came. Though our server Gracie acknowledged and apologized for the bad service, service was still crappy and disappointing.

They have created such a beautiful, tranquil and welcoming atmosphere which is only rivaled by their menu. Their delicious pour-over coffee was an exquisite base for dipping their banana bread and their breakfast burrito was just perfect. If I was from the area, there's no doubt I'd be coming here with my laptop over breakfast or lunch at least 3x a week. If driving up or down I-95, they are soo worth the stop.
