Our meal was fabulous!! Cornbread is a must! We shared the meat sampler platter and all the meat was Smokey, moist and delish! The garlic potatoes and coke slaw were great side options as well. Our server was a delight!! We would definitely come here again.

Good food, good drinks! Server (forgot her name) was helpful with drink recommendations and was kind enough to allow our group to split the bill individually. Seems to get busy on the weekends, especially if there's a show at the nearby theater -- the earliest reservations I could get was about 2.5 hours before our show, so be sure to make reservations.

The fried pickles were delicious and honestly the best hamburger I’ve ever eaten. For dessert, we had the sweet potato cheesecake which was yummy. We liked it so much that we came back the next night. The brisket was delicious and loved their unique potatoes.

We found a great parking space in the parking lot in back. Had a great inside table next to the fireplace. Had a greet waiter (Russ or Ross), enjoyed the menu immensely. Will return.
