    The service was excellent, but the food was very bland especially for the price. The fried green tomatoes had no taste, the deviled eggs were not seasoned but the brisket on top was excellent. The salad dressing was too acidic. My husband had the snapper and I had the lamp chops. The snapper had no seasoning and the lamp chops were tough and the sauce over then wasn’t very tasty . The atmosphere was great, but at those prices, the food should be even GREATER!!!

    Had the mushroom appetizer they were having as a special and they were delicious. We had a steak board with three different cuts and two sides. All three were cooked as we asked and were very flavorful. The sides were very good. Their garlic bread rolls were also delicious. She had two glasses of wine that were delicious and I had two different mixed drinks. I'd recommend, we will be back for sure.

    We had a reservation for our anniversary. We were seated right away, but waited 15 minutes at and nobody ever approached our table. My husband finally went to the hostess and a waiter was sent to our table. He did an amazing job and was very friendly, but I guess there was just a mix up. The food was just OK. Steaks were a little overcooked. We were not impressed with desserts at all.

    The food was excellent. My parents ordered the steak and they said it was cooked perfect. I ordered hamburger and it was delicious. The small potatoes were soft and tasty. The ladies ate the broccoli but didn’t love it. The service was fantastic. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant and definitely would go back again.

    More Seasoning on food is needed for the food to be more enjoyable

    Our drinks and food were absolutely delicious! We ordered the pimento cheese fondue and they even accommodated our keto diet and gave us celery instead of bread. We LOVED the Tomahawk steak, and appreciated the cook's assistant that waited until we took a bite to make sure it was perfect. A little pricey, but not bad; I hated giving them 4 stars for that, but our full meal with 2 cocktails, appetizer, steak and 2 sides, and dessert was about $210. We will definitely be back!
