“Let me first off say the food was great once I was able to eat it. I ordered their smoked turkey with no bacon because I have Crohn’s disease and I am unable to eat bacon, they convinced me at the counter to put it on the side so my partner could eat it. When I got the sandwich I noticed it wasn’t on the side. I took a bite into my sandwich and instantly spit it out because it was loaded with bacon, I complained and they remade the sandwich with my 2 sides… I can’t believe the difference in plate size… this was a major slap in my face. I went from 2 scoops of potato salad to a tiny one and a tiny bit of Mac and cheese. The customer service and kitchen need work here because the food is great! They also took my cornbread and never brought me another slice. I will never come back to this establishment. Below are photos for proof…EDIT: the manager flagged me down after my meal and apologized, comp’d it and gave us extra cornbread. I am updating my review to 4 stars to reflect the chef and managers who were very nice.“

“We stopped here while on a Carolina Waterfall Tour. Even though it’s right on the side of the road the setting is lovely. The porch has about 10/12 rocking chairs and there are some picnic tables with umbrellas. The ice cream was good but they were out of two flavors. And enjoyable stop.“

“Superb customer service I've ever gotten the entire year. I was really shocked how outstanding the service was, today was my son's birthday. Ronlando, the manager, and his staff demonstrated efficiency, leadership, dedication, and communication. Their warm hospitality is the reason I go out to eat; they were so polite when they seated and welcomed us, making everyone feel completely at home.He assisted my disabled sister with her seat, then followed up to make sure everything was alright.Whenever I had any concerns or questions , I valued being acknowledged and taken seriously. The food was great and really fresh. They then came out and began singing "Happy Birthday to my son in the end." I had a great experience , and I will be returning soon.“

“Busy place!! We're servers 1st off, so we understand. We ordered steaks, duh. Filet and ribeye. (MR) Came out blue rare. Sent them back and got same steaks, flashed and now rare. We decided to eat them because we were starving... Poor form for a "steakhouse". Everything else was GREAT, including our waitress!! (Who we tipped 20+% Not her fault you have someone who can't cook meat.) Lol. I recommend the filet. Tasty even rare!!“
