Great food, service from Kelsey and a nice night for outside dining. Oysters were very fresh and delicious. Crab cakes, best I've ever had. Wife had the "catch of the day" scallops with gnocchi, it was fabulous!
Will definitely be back, well worth the wait time and the quality of the food is outstanding!

Holden Oversoul Kitchen is an absolute gem! This was our second visit, and I'm so happy to say it was just as fantastic as the first. The quality of the food is simply unmatched—top tier in every sense. The service? Immaculate! The laid-back, casual vibe makes it a perfect spot, and the staff are incredibly friendly. This place truly knows how to handle meats; their pork dishes are clean, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I will say the greens weren’t my favorite—just not how I grew up eating them—but that’s a minor detail. Overall, Holden Oversoul Kitchen is firmly on our monthly date night rotation! 10 outta 10 highly recommend!

My family and I went to this restaurant on Saturday afternoon to try to get a very good meal but ended up being very disappointed we could not get what we wanted we wanted steamed oysters we told we can't get them then we asked for fried horses we were told we couldn't get them then we wanted fried shrimp then we were told we could not get them so I do believe I will not be returning to this place The waitress was not very nice not very helpful we were told we would have to come back for dinner to get what we needed I am surprised that you can't get what you wanted all day long customers are not right

Definitely our new favorite restaurant in the area! The ginger garlic wings were incredible with a different flavor due to the brine. The Greek and shrimp tacos were very good with enough filling that 2 was filling. The prices are very reasonable for the unique dishes and I'm so excited to come back!

However, the only unfortunate complaint I have is the service. We waited over 10 min to be addressed by our server and 20 min to get 2 beers and a margarita without being provided water while we waited. We asked for water for 1 guest at our table but it never got refilled nor asked if she wanted more. There were multiple times get "felt forgotten" through the restaurant wasnt very busy at the time. We spent a lot of time waiting. Good news the food came out very quickly during happy hour and was cooked to perfection.

If you’re thinking about it, go here!!

Visited on a Friday night with some girlfriends while on a weekend trip. We were looking for something close by with the best reviews and decided to give this place a try. WOW, we were blown away from the moment we looked over the menu! Everything looked delicious and we had a hard time deciding. In the end we started with the pimento grits bites and ended up all ordering the grits bowl and a seasonal spiced pear cocktail. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was absolutely spectacular!
Even the bread they started with was a pleasant surprise with the artichoke and balsamic spread it was served with. We could have eaten it with a spoon. Food came quickly and we ate every single bite. Our group all came from different states and we would each consider ourselves foodies, we really like to eat good food. We all enjoyed the meal so much we ended up coming back on Saturday night to try some of the other offerings.

Saturday we sampled the pimento grit bites again, the grilled oysters, wings, crab cake, butternut squash soup (declared to be the best one they had ever tasted!) the filet and chicken fingers. We all gushed over how good our meals were and swapped a few bites, they were all excellent.

One person got the apple crème brûlée since it was GF and said it was the perfect finish to the meal. We were only disappointed we couldn’t come back a third time on Sunday night since they were closed. We will absolutely be visiting the next time we’re in the area. Having such great meals really made the weekend together even better. Ask for our girl Kelsey (server) and say hello to Chef Jamie, he’s brilliant!

What a great dining experience!

Cocktails were awesome. Bloody Mary comes with a skewer of treats worthy of an appetizer portion. Mezcal Sour was super tasty - as was the Chocolate Old Fashioned.

Got eggplant fries as an appetizer. So creative and delicious. My dinner was the catch of the day - redfish with niochi and roasted veggies. Really enjoyed it.

Inside dining space is small. Outside seating is ample (most of it roofed) but was probably one of the first few days where the weather was too cold for us old farts. They have heaters out there and said screens had been ordered to keep the heat in. So, will be fine outside most of the year.

It’s not a convenient place for us - a 40 minute drive. But, we’ll definitely be back again soon. Great, local food and a wonderful dining experience.

Nice little place. Good was good and not too bad on the price. We had lunch but will try the dinner menu which seems to be larger. Drinks were fair priced as well.

Parking: Not a lot of parking that I could see in the area.
