    If you order the shrimp and grits you will only get maybe 1/4 cup of grits. My wife got maybe 2 spoon fulls. The rest was just sauce and 5 shrimp. The prime rib was also a very tiny portion. This visit was VERY disappointing.

    We made reservations for our anniversary dinner. Although the waitress was superb, the quality of our dinner was subpar. I ordered a prime rib which was raw. My fork could not penetrate the meat. A prime rib should be cooked to be buttery fork tender. I was also told that it was the last prime rib. Our reservation was for 7:15 pm. There hours are 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm . My husband ordered a medium well ribeye. It lacked marbling and we were told that the fat was intentionally trimmed off. It was cooked to well done. The waitress had the steak reordered and the second one was cooked to well done, too! We were left with one steak dinner to eat. I took the first steak in place of the prime rib. My husband did not get a meal. The manager just took the second steak away and did not offer anything else on the menu. We went home and my husband ate at home. Worst experience ever!

    We have been here many times… I guess we never had a 5:00 reservation… the door is locked… people were sitting in their cars waiting for exactly 5:00… not 4:55…not 4:59… 5:00! since we did not know “the 5:00 rule” we walked up to the locked door but sat on the outside chairs until the door was unlocked… the manager did not hold the door open and welcome all 10 of us in…we just heard the click of the lock opening We were first in line…seated immediately Our server Brett was there only 2 weeks and he was the only server for 5 tabes all seated at one time. This did not bother Brett… he handled all tables… friendly and checking in… he was fabulous! We both had the baby back ribs… my sides were the loaded potato salad and green beans… my ribs(which I have had before) were not as moist and tender as I remember, potato salad was great, green beans were good but not as warm as I like them… My hubby had the French fries and baked beans… both good It was my bday and I would have liked a little something sweet but I guess they don’t offer dessert for special occasions… lucky I had cake and ice cream waiting at my house. I would go back because the food is good… I would just like a little personality from the manager or owner…whoever the check in guy is… it doesn’t hurt to smile or engage with the customers…

    We waited for 30 minutes and just decided to leave when no waitress had even come to take our drink orders. We will not be returning.

    The food and service were outstanding! We would return for the food alone! The only negative to note were all the cobwebs on the bottom of the chairs in the dining room! We were seated near the glass garage door is in the back and the light was highlighting those cobwebs at the large table next to us. 😊. Just a note for management.
