“Last night we enjoyed dinner and came to see Jason Ricci and the Bad Kind band. Outstanding! Our food was creative and enjoyable and the scene was electric. Dave has done such an amazing job transforming a small backyard into a soulful, comforting courtyard. The band exceeded expectations too!“

“We had an amazing brunch yesterday! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was rustic and inviting. Our waitress, Beth, was absolutely wonderful—so attentive and cheerful, she really made our experience special! Now, let’s talk about the food! I ordered the fried green tomatoes BLT, and it was fantastic! The combination was delightfully crunchy and packed with flavor. My friends tried a variety of dishes: the BBQ pork baked potato was a hit, truly hearty and satisfying. The shrimp basket was crispy and perfectly cooked, while the BBQ sliders were a delightful burst of flavor in every bite. One of our friends had the fried grouper, which looked delicious and was perfectly seasoned. Oh, and we can’t forget about the Bloody Marys! They were the perfect complement to our meal, refreshing and robust with just the right kick! All in all, this brunch experience was a blast! Great food, awesome service, and a cozy vibe. I can’t wait to go back! 🍽️🥂✨ #BrunchGoals #RoadKillIYKYK #AmazingEats #ThankYouBeth“

“Stopped here on a whim yesterday with our 10 year old grandson. The smell of BBQ was amazing as you walked in the front door. We were greeted immediately by staff and found a table easily. Our server was friendly and attentive. The menu is large, and while it is often difficult for me to find things to eat, because I am vegan and gluten free...there was a beautiful salad available. My husband and grandson had the ribs, baked beans, Cole slaw and fries. They were very happy. The food, service and atmosphere were great. We will definitely be back again.“

“Excellent all the food, my wife and I visit Golden Corral 2 or 3 times a month, and we do it with great pleasure and because the service of the staff is very good,,,,,but today, we had a meeting of 10 people, and I arrived first to reserve 2 tables, but the manager Jeffrey, told me that I could not do that, and with a very bad attitude, he told me that if I did not like it I should leave, and I did not like this treatment towards me, and I replied that I did not like his attitude, and he told me that if I wanted to fight,,,,I replied no,,, what I wanted him to change his attitude towards the consumer, I hope that they correct the behavior of the manager Jeffrey. THANK YOU.“
