“My girlfriend, my self and one of our friends were heading back to Panama City from Orlando, and we didn’t want to stop for fast food. I found this GEM and decided to give it a try, as none of us have ever heard of it. My friends in Tallahassee, that have gatekept this place from us, shame on you. I cannot wait to drive back through this way again to ensure another visit. We also met Hades, walking through the garden, I have changed his name to Arugula, I’ll see him again soon. This place is great, the service was great. Keep being great.“

“omgosh amazing food and service. had the pork duo, braises beef ribs, crab cakes, and bread with herb infused oil. definitely a 10/10 in our books. it's not a quick eating place takes about 1.5-2 hours and price is up there so sharing maybe an option especially with what we had but glad we chose our own meals instead of sharing.“

“I sure hope this place stays just the way it is. We have visited a few times and this was the first time that my family and I were all very pleased with takeout nights dinner. My son (3 1/2yrs) was so happy he almost licked his plate clean hahaha and he is crazy picky especiallyabout his mac and cheese (yes you actually can get that one wrong). The dessert jars are fantastically brilliant, it's like a sneaky souvenir that you come back and get more of, plus crazy delicious flavors that are nicely varied (very fond of the banana pud). Nice quantity and quality balance (especially these days where companies just want cash without putting out). Finally have a fool proof place to eat while here, and yes we've tried the shmancy folks too (Outback[nup] as well Bonefish[you guessed it, nup] a few others too). I love their club and cayenne samiches best chicken since ages back when chick fila started out when they cared about the little guys. Please PLEASE y'all don't change a thing 🙌🥳🤙10/10 NO NOTES“
