    Great drinks and food! I’m always torn between sweet and savory at brunch but Hunter’s had great options to give you the best of both worlds! I had the cheddar waffle and my husband had chicken and waffles. Both were delicious. Drinks were also very good and the Halloween decor added great ambiance.

    I’ve been to Hunters so many times whether it’s for date nights, going out, etc. But this time I brought along my mom and my boyfriends parents for brunch on a Sunday. We unfortunately did have to wait for a table but we told the staff we didn’t mine at all. The manager was easily the most incredibly managers i’ve ever experienced. Due to the wait, we could not order from the brunch menu but that did not stop the staff. They gave us desert and a round of drinks on the house because they felt so bad we missed brunch (which we didn’t mind because all of their food is amazing). Thank you to the incredible manager and staff at Hunters everyone needs to go here!

    Service was slow and waitress needed reminders. Food was inconsistent in quality and portion sizes. Loved the fried pickles. Extremely loud but very aesthetically pleasing environment. Middle of the road compared to the other restaurants in this group.

    I think salt might be the only seasoning they use on their food. Literally everything was salty...the mac and cheese, shrimp and grits, fried chicken. I guess the only thing that wasn't salty was the greens. Those were vinegary instead of salty. I ordered the same drink twice, and it was 2 completely different colors and tasted different each time. They ran out of one of the sides that came with our meal and didn't tell us but charged us for a full meal anyway. They did remove it from the bill after a little back and forth. I will say they had a great band playing while we were there. But overall, not a great experience. I would not return.

    The service was just ok, our waitress didn’t seem to be very personable or helpful. We ordered the cornbread and the chicken and waffles and it was disappointing. The cornbread was undercooked and bland, and you could taste the batter in the waffles. The chicken was extremely bland and the only thing that made it slightly better was the crust and the hotsauce I asked for on the side. Overall, I wouldn’t return

    I would not go back here. We waited 40 minutes for our food which all came at once (we ordered appetizers), and then when we asked for the check 10 minutes later it took us 25 minutes to get the check from our waitress, pay, and leave. There was live music that was WAY too loud and overpowering for the small space. We were seated about 4 feet from the bar and during the entirety of our dinner young drunk folk were encroaching on our space, bumping into us, our table, and our drinks. Honestly, this was such a weird dining experience. Will not be going back or recommending to any friends. I was surprised by this as I have had very good experiences at Loco (same ownership) :/

    I order delivery from here several times a month so I really like the food. Had never been to the restaurant before. I did not realize how loud it is. It’s deafening. Makes it more of a bar than a dining experience. I had to yell to talk, and we sat on the same side of the table. Had to yell to speak to waitress. Service was great, our waitress was a hard worker, we enjoyed the food. Cocktails seem a bit watered down but nice combos. Overall I’ll keep ordering take out (Uber) but I won’t actually visit the restaurant again.

    I had a great meal at hunter’s! It was my first time trying the brunch, and I was very impressed. We got beignets for the table and they were a perfect appetizer. The sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit was delicious, I loved the cheddar biscuit it was on. It was the perfect size, I did not feel overly full after. I can’t wait to come back for another brunch!

    The food was good. I had the ribs which I really enjoyed, the fried chicken was crunchy and OK. Love the mashed potatoes (didn’t care for the gravy) and collards. The corn bread was a little dry. The potato salad could use a little seasoning. I don’t remember the mock till I had but it was absolutely fabulous. There was a live band (that was really good), which made it a little loud and hard to converse with people without shouting. Overall, the food was good enough to return in the atmosphere was pretty good as well.

    Service was excellent! Ambience was great. Drinks were great! Food was awful honestly. The catfish was not cooked thoroughly. The lamb tasted more like a pull chicken and was over powered by the coleslaw and the beignets were so thin.
