The food is always amazing, but this location is set apart from other melting pots by the service. Any tiny questions or concerns were addressed and remedied promptly and with a smile. Everyone was so nice and friendly. I would swing by anytime I’m in town.

Everything was amazing! We felt so taken care of and was overall satisfied with our meal and service! The only issue we had was the temperature- I believe that air flow was different for us bc we were in an enclosed booth- but both my husband and I were visibly sweating when we left the restaurant. When we got up to leave and use the restroom it didn’t feel nearly as hot- so I do believe it was airflow in the enclosed booth. We did have coffee with dessert bc it is a tradition for us- but though it didn’t help matters- we were both hot prior to that. Just felt like the temp was worth mentioning! Overall- it was one of our top 5 experiences! We will be back!

Jimmy our waiter was excellent. He was very personable and helpful to us to; and kept the meal moving at a comfortable pace. The shrimp and grits were excellent! The Cobb Salad alone is worth returning for. I would certainly come back!
