    They were great with our reservation, we had to delay it by 30 minutes and helped us out. Burgers were great! Shrimp and grits were very greasy. Please list parking options if you can! It was not easy.

    Lobster avocado toast appetizer was soggy and mushy. Fried mozzarella barely had any cheese inside. Entree’s were good and the service was great. Mixed bag during our visit but for the price point paired with food quality, I doubt we’ll be back.

    Service was solid and timely. Adult beverages were very good, as I would recommend the house old fashioned. My meal was fine. I ordered the NY Strip, which was prepared how I wanted, yet it lacked any seasonings at all. It was very plain with the friend onions on top. Not sure if it was merely a miss by the kitchen, but I had to ask for steak sauce which I very rarely do. Other than the steak being ‘blah’, it was a nice experience.

    Our second time to eat here. We had crab/avocado toast and potato soup for starters. My husband had the Chicken Pot Pie. I had the Turkey Burger and Fries. Everything was excellent!!!! Dessert was the chocolate molten cake, it was excellent as well. The meals come out quickly. Waitstaff is attentive and friendly. We’ll be back!

    The food was amazing. We tried the fried mozzarella, Cobb salad, Caesar salad. Classic burger with sweet potato fries , bbq brisket flatbread and the steak fajita flatbread. It was all delicious and everyone commented how good it was. Great atmosphere and service. Small space, but great for small groups and large groups. Will definitely go again.

    We initially tried to make a reservation thru open table, but experienced technical difficulties. We decided to head to the restaurant anyway since OpenTable said they had numerous times available. When we arrived they would not seat us without reservations despite having tables available. As a last ditch effort (mainly because we had paid for parking), we tried OpenTable again before we left. This time we were able to make reservations and were seated immediately. Our server was fantastic, but that is the only positive experience. The nachos were awful, the pizza was soggy and the medium burger was a charcoal briquette.

    Most of our food was very good. The server was a little lacking, not paying attention to drink refills or dirty plates but over all very pleasant. Ordered the beef tender madeallions upon server’s recommendation. Ordered medium and came out almost well done. I am normally not a person who complains but I was really in the mood for a good steak so I called the waitress over and told her it was over cooked. When the second plate was served to me steak was cold and absolutely NO seasoning. Not even salt and pepper. The mashed potatoes were the dishes only saving grace. So bottom line, don’t order steak. Everything else food wise was delicious especially the lamb burger.

    You don't need to be a fan of the Walking Dead or Norman Reedus to appreciate the food here. It's excellent, the decor is fantastic, and the service is exceptional. It's in your interest to make a reservation, because the restaurant is on the smaller side. If you haven't tried Nic and Norman's yet you are doing yourself a great disservice.
