1887 Historic Eatery Reviews
We were greeted by the nicest lady outside of the doors to the eatery:) We were told to go on in. We sat there for 15 minutes and no one came out to greet us, give us water or anything. The entire place was empty. I drove over a half over to eat breakfast there and ended up leaving disappointed without any service :(
Great food and service. The steaks were very good and the lobster mac n cheese was flavorful with decent chunks of lobster! We also really enjoyed the firecracker shrimp and deviled eggs. The staff was amazing making our special occasion extra special.
Amazing place! Amazing that a $60 meal came to my table cold! Amazing that I had the shits less than two hours after eating only a portion of the meal. It’ll be amazing if this place is around much longer!
