Father's Day... we decided to take a mini road trip and go to Cave Springs... we've passed thru headed home from Alpharetta several times but it's always after dark and late so we have never had a chance to see anything. This restaurant appeared to be the only one open so we decided to try it. Our server was attentive in the beginning and then pretty much forgot about us after seating us, getting our drink orders, and bringing our food. We had to ask Carla, who was definitely on the ball, for drink refills and pretty much for anything we asked. It wasn't crowded - especially with social distancing. We were really disappointed in the food overall. Ordered the chik salad and pimento cheese appetizer since we'd not had breakfast or lunch and it was close to 3 PM. It was really just plain dry shredded cheese and dry pimento cheese with some wilted lettuce and a basket of crackers. We ordered the fried cod and fried shrimp meal but only received the cod and had to ask for the shrimp which came some time later - the sides were macaroni & cheese and pinto beans... the fish and shrimp had a good taste... the mac & cheese and pinto beans were unremarkable... no seasoning, no taste. Reminded me of being in a nursing home with elderly people who can't have anything but bland, dull food. We also ordered a ribeye steak with grilled shrimp, a side salad, and mashed potatoes. The steak was very tender but was heavily seasoned and really salty tasting... too much! The mashed potatoes had no seasoning. We had to ask for salt and pepper to try and make the sides edible. The side salad had blueberries, strawberries, green & red grapes, cucumbers, red & yellow peppers, fresh tomatoes, and wilted brown lettuce! Sad because it could have been a really good salad! The blue cheese dressing was homemade they said and good. Overall, very disappointed, especially for the price of $71 before tip! The steak must have been super expensive because the other food items were fairly priced. There were no prices listed on the menu for steaks... just a note to ask about them... they only serve NY strips and ribeyes. We weren't actually given a ticket at the table, just told to go to the register and pay... the owner runs the register and just adds up your ticket by looking at the hand written order. He uses a POS system like most others do these days... he did ask if we wanted a receipt but at that point, why? The owner talked to us a couple of times and is very nice but they need to work on their food. They haven't been open very long... 2018 I believe he said and they closed for a month due to covid. Hoping they make it but they will have to improve on the taste of their food, especially for the prices they charge. read more
