yared nigussieDecember 19, 2020Feels like home. Excellent service. Some days the food is A+ I think they have a great chef working 3 or 4 days a week, not sure which days of the week. Other days also not bad!
Cassandra's a total sweetheart. Very willing to answer all my questions, even if she had to ask someone or look it up on her phone. I love the down home feel of this place.
Kayla AntonioJune 20, 2012Sitting outdoors on the porch is beautiful when the weather is breezy and not too humid. The server Nicole is fantastic and always pops up when you need something.
Josh MJuly 12, 2016Our waiter (Ken) was very friendly and made us feel at home. Burger was big and the sweet tea was sweet. Not sure what's up with the bad reviews on here about this place. Came when it wasn't busy tho
Jenn ❤️☀️👙🌴🍷🐾 BSeptember 11, 2014The baked chevre is delicious. And the baked eggplant is incredible, really nothing here is bad. :-)
Alex BoodyJanuary 26, 2016If you come on a Saturday during the day, be ready to sit and wait for a table. We had to walk away and go to a different place because they never sat us. We were there for 20 minutes waiting.
michele batesApril 19, 2013Um - so good! Wings were great and Cassaundra was super nice! Also the cornbread was fantastic..
Be prepared to argue your case to at least three servers if they bring you something you didn't order, with one of them asking you in an accusing manner if you took a bite of it.
Jack is the hippest regular in town. Buy him a shot of Jameson and he will come out of his jumpsuit and dance.
- This place is awesome! Very underrated compared to the Refinery. Gumbo is amazing!!
- The specials are Dang Good. Pretty Darn Quality. Pat is a Businessman- been doin' it for 10 years!
JoshMay 11, 2018Interesting concept: Like eating at someone’s country home. Drinks were good, but food was just ok. Had to send back two dishes as they were not cooked correctly.
Scott RienbeckDecember 19, 2011The Appletini is made from real fresh squeezed apples upon ordering. Get it!
Tyler is the best server at this place and totally easy on the eyes.
VISIT FLORIDA Smart Travel InsiderApril 1, 2012Definitely order the OJ... It's squeezed fresh daily!
- Had a really bad experience here a long time ago but things have definitely improved since then.
- Executive Lead Server Kyle Blushers' beard is totally Radical!
Server not so friendly. Must be her first job, needs to smile and lose the gum.
Alan SDecember 9, 2011I'm not sure what the deal is with the American Express special, last time I was there they would not accept American Express.
