    All around perfect! The space was beautifully decorated for the holidays, and it wasn’t too crowded. When I inquired about gluten free items, our server, Sarah, was very knowledgeable and went over the entire menu with me! She listed safe items and many examples of substitutions that could be made for me to eat safely at Coal Town. I ordered the Artisan pizza on a gluten free crust and a side of duck fat fries. Everything was so delicious! Keep up the great work!

    Our first time to this restaurant and wow! Atmosphere was amazing and the food was incredible! I got the shrimp and grits and it was literally the BEST shrimp & grits I’ve ever eaten. My husband got a NY strip and collard greens. He gave 5 stars as well. Our server Mat was friendly and answered all my questions and his service was fantastic. Will definitely dine here again.
