    Beautiful setting. Restaurant was very clean, employees friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. We thought the prices were a bit high until we ate. Our date night was perfect. Except.....it was way to loud.

    We went back to have the wedge salad, which was very large and the oysters on the half shell which were very good. Beautiful view of the creek and sunset.

    We had a very nice experience at Jinks Creek! We were able to eat outside in the gazebo, which only had one table so we got to eat alone together outside and watch the sunset. The food was also very good, but was slightly cold by the time we got it.

    My family and I enjoyed our meal and the beautiful sunset at Jink's Creek. The food and service were very good and the atmosphere was friendly. It was a nice touch that the executive chef came around to the tables to great the patrons.

    We have been many times but this dining experience was not up to their standards. Busy first weekend of the summer and the food arrived cold. We had to ask for refills on our drinks and the ladies bathroom lock was troublesome for a few guests.

    Hostess was awesome allowing us to change tables since fans were on high over our heads. My food was awesome but hubby got blackened flounder instead of requested grouper. Waitress never came by to ask how meal was to tell her mistake so he ate it. Probably short staffed like many places now.
