Feels 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.

Sitting 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.

Our 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

The baked chevre is delicious. And the baked eggplant is incredible, really nothing here is bad. :-)

If 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.

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.

Interesting 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.
