Customer Reviews

Had our 50th class reunion there Sept 27, 2025. Ashley and Mia did a fantastic job taking care of our 50 person group! Got the orders out promptly, kept the drinks refilled and the tables cleared. Fun atmosphere (we watched the AL/GA game (roll tide!) and enjoyed our meals. Everyone ordered different things and we appreciated that they did not limit the menu. A great place to host a large gathering!

Emma was our server and was excellent. Very attentive and friendly. They were out of wings but the chicken tenders with the same hot sauce and ranch was awesome. 4 stars on food bc shrimp were sub par.

The food was really good and it all came out hot. The portion sizes were great as well, my family and I enjoyed the atmosphere. It's really nice to have a sit down restaurant in the downtown area that's priced very fairly. We will definitely be back!
