Everyone was so very kind and the food was fantastic. Love how they do their loaded mac’n’cheese, it has pulled pork which is nicely seasoned but not coated in sauce for those who wish to eat it separate from the mac’n’cheese which I appreciated as a picky eater.

The Chicken and waffles was amazing! Messy but definitely worth it! The flavor was spot on. You definitely need to try the Mac and cheese it melts in your mouth, sooo good! The turkey club was very delicious, bacon was cooked perfectly. The pulled pork mac and cheese was the perfect blend of savory with a hint of sweet. Beautiful atmosphere for a date night, girls night out or a family meal. Tons of tvs all around so you can keep up with your favorite sports. Nice dessert and drink options available if you have any room left This place is huge! Tons of space indoor and outdoor with pretty lights all around, they also have a fire pit outside. Prices were fair not too high, portions were good. Will definitely be back to try out more of the menu.

*Update*- Came here for dinner and was seated right away. Our waiter was very kind and quick with the drinks and refills. I got the KC strip and it was PHENOMENAL! One of the best steaks I have ever had. It was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Highly recommended it.- Food was excellent and the staff was great! The food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. The Bloody Mary was on point and fantastic. Will be back again!

My favorite place to take friends within 150 miles of my home! Love the food & atmosphere, service is always professional and fun. Everything is just perfect, live music is just an added bonus during the warmer weather.

Tonight was our first time coming here to eat. Our server, AJ was an amazing server. The onion rings, salads, country fried steak, and carrot cake were all amazing!!! The presentation of all of our food was great!!! We felt like the prices were very reasonable for the great quality of service and food we received. We live in Richmond, so only about an hour drive. Well worth the drive!! We enjoy finding local restaurants in different towns we go to. We will be coming back again!! Here is a picture of my husband and AJ and our dinner!! Thanks AJ for making our first visit great!!! Dave & Kathy

Took the wife for our anniversary dinner. It was 6pm on a weekday. We were seated promptly and our server was very attentive. Our ribeye steaks were cooked perfectly and our appetizer of crab cakes was delicious. They have a nice atmosphere. The wine list was pretty basic, but this is a beer town. We will be back.
