    my friend and I just stopped there for appetizers. I got the chicken wings;I never get a bad one there. There's just something about their wings that taste outstanding to me. And my friend got goetta fries. My friend raved about them. We both left satiated and would definitely come another time. The service was great. The food was excellent. The ambience was fantastic as we sat right by the window with the lake such a relaxing experience.

    Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled that the chicken wings and goetta fries were a hit. Looking forward to your next visit. -Sarah, deSha's Guest Relations

    I've been here twice this past week! It's a great place to meet friends and have a leisure lunch and brunch without feeling "rushed." It's my go-to place when inviting friends and family to dine out.

    DeSha's always is delightful! We were seated at the window and enjoyed a wonderful meal, only one slight hiccup as they brought one wrong entree, but was quickly corrected and the meals were A+++ Highly recommend.

    We had a great evening! The noise level started out "Energetic" however lessened as the evening progressed. We especially enjoyed John's live, guitar music! "Nice beat, easy to sing along with... we give it a 10/10!"
    deSha's American TavernResponded on July 1, 2025
    Thrilled to hear you enjoyed the music and had a great evening! John's performances are indeed a highlight for us too. We look forward to your next visit. Thanks! Sarah, deSha's Guest Relations

    We have eaten here before and had great food and service. However, our food was very average and service was terrible yesterday. My husband’s fish was overcooked and dry. My side of mashed potatoes was cold and tasteless. Our server NEVER checked on us after taking our order. I had to go and get him at the bar to even get our bill. He only had 3 tables to wait on, so this was unexcusable. It was my husband’s birthday and he wasn’t even offered his birthday dessert. It’s doubtful that we will dine there again.
