The atmosphere was great and the cocktails were very good. The food was very good except for the Shepherds Pie which was very heavy. All the other meals were excellent.

Love the whole atmosphere and vibe! The food was pretty good. I had the bourbon glazed pork chop, mashed potatoes, and salad. My wife had the bourbon chicken, mashed potatoes, and burgoo. The pork chop tasted great but was pretty small. Luckily, my wife's chicken portion was huge, so I ate some of hers. The only negative was that they had one server working the entire room, and I saw a couple different tables get up and leave because they had not been waited on. It wasn't the server's fault. Management should have the room staffed properly. One person can't handle eight tables at a time, and some were large parties. The server was great, though, and unnecessarily apologetic.

Thanks for the review, Kyle! We are glad you enjoyed your meal. We apologize about the short staffing issue. Unfortunately due to the weather in our area last week we had several call ins. We sincerely hope you will join us again!

Haley was our waitress, and provided us exceptional service. The food was amazing. We had the fried green tomatoes and meatballs for appetizers. They were both so so good. We also tried the Burgoo, but it just wasn’t our thing lol. For entrees, we had the walnut crusted chicken and country fried steak. Both were great!

Thanks so much for the great review, Rhonda! We are so glad you enjoyed your meal with us. We have passed on your kind feedback to Haleigh. We hope to see you again soon!

They have a gluten free menu but no dedicated fryer. Small place but there is a lot of history regarding the building. It also offers hotel services. Food was hearty and good!

Thanks for your feedback, Robbyn. We are going to look into the dedicated fryer as that is a great idea and point. Hope you will join us again soon.

We have been here a few times before and had a great experience. Unfortunately this time it took an hour to get our food, then it was cold. They did compensate us with free dessert but ww were very disappointed overall. We try to eat there whenever we are in the area but after this last experience we will not.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a detailed review. We apologize about the extended wait for the food. We will look into this further with our team and hope you will give us another try in the future.
