“Don’t miss this gem. Nowhere in the Appalachian mountains offers this kind of vibe. Witchy, moody, & naturally eclectic. Be ready to have memorable beverages and the best sandwichs. We go out of our way to eat here! 10/10 would recommend.”

“What a surprise on such a long drive! On our way through town, we needed to stop for some gas, but to our surprise we walked away with some delicious burritos! They were packed full of meat, rice, and cheese! Among other things of course which you can customize to your liking! The homemade salsa was also pretty amazing and had such a robust flavor that added a nice zing of spice to the burrito. Everything was seasoned perfectly and we barely needed to eat anything later in the day, as it was super filling! Keep up the good work! Hopefully we will visit again someday!”

“Great food and atmosphere”

“First and foremost, a huge shoutout to the incredible manager, Francisco! His warm, welcoming, and upbeat attitude set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. From the moment I walked in, his enthusiasm and professionalism made me feel genuinely valued as a guest. I ordered the Club Sandwich with chips, and let me tell you—this wasn’t just any club sandwich. It was the club of my dreams. Stacked high with savory black forest ham, tender roasted turkey, crispy bacon, and provolone, every bite was a symphony of flavor. The fresh romaine and ripe tomato added a crisp contrast, while the toasted sourdough provided the ideal crunch. The herb aioli brought everything together with a deliciously zesty finish. It was hearty, satisfying, and kept me full for hours. This place truly delivers on quality—from the thoughtfully crafted food to the outstanding customer service. If you’re looking for a memorable meal in a welcoming fun atmosphere, look no further. I can’t wait to come back!”

“I traveled from Blairsville, Ga to obtain my favorite Yogurt "Coconut Culture" as it 'works' for my issues. I was delighted not to travel to Chattanooga or elsewhere to obtain it. I saved $20 per pint off of online ordering. Thank you! See you soon!”

“FOOD
I love the refined, purposeful menu. I'm excited to go back to try more.
Duck: my favorite part of the plate was the kale-brussel hybrid, surprisingly! I loved it with the blackberry gastrique [which tasted like a Korean style teriyaki sauce- it has spice]. The duck itself was solid; I wish I got more of that sorghum glaze. The gnocchi were a good simple balance to the spicy gastrique.
Salmon: Great, moist salmon. The lemon beurre blanc was a HARD miss. I truly would reconsider that choice. The risotto was AMAZING; large portion and very filling. To be honest, I think the bacon pea risotto would be a smart pairing with the duck. I also would consider offering an ala cart side option.
Steak Frites: I love peppercorns/pepper so I was a huge fan of this marinated steak. To be transparent, this steak is marinade/flavoring forward. If you prefer a classic meat-salt-pepper steak, I would try a different option. For me, I LOVE IT.
Mousse Cake: Give. Immediate. We went for my mom's birthday and she is a chocolate-peanut butter FIEND. No notes, just keep doing doing what you're doing.
Apple Pear Sorbet: A great option for gluten free friends! Absolutely the best sorbet I've ever had. I love the cinnamon flavor.

SERVICE
Loved our server! She was communicative, attentive, and kind. I appreciated her clarity. For example, I asked if the Mousse cake slice was large enough to share or if we should get two. She contextualized by saying that she usually ate the full slice herself, but then represented the size using her notepad. It demonstrated that the size would be shareable, but I wanted my own. It may seem small, but it was very helpful as someone who has to closely monitor their sugar intake.

ATMOSPHERE
I love the vibe. It's the perfect balance of upscale and casual. Note: the bar opens at 4pm, but the kitchen opens at 5pm.”

“We just ate here today December 7 Sunday afternoon. Wait staff were all amazing and polite. Food was amazing, flavorful, tender meats and cooked wonderful. The chips were perfect and no one missed up our order despite some of our party being allergic to certain things. Highly recommend this Mexican Restaurant”

“My husband and I ate here for the first time tonight. WOW! The food was INCREDIBLE.
We got the homemade mozzarella sticks for appetizers with garlic knots. Soooooo good!! My husband got build your own pizza and it was one of the best pizzas we’ve ever had. So flavorful and the crust was perfect. I got a 14oz Ribeye with mashed potatoes and roasted veggies. OUT OF THIS WORLD! The steak was grilled to perfection at medium rare, the mashed potatoes were homemade and topped with some seasonings and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. The veggies were seasoned and scrumptious! Butternut squash, onions, mushrooms and spinach. We left no crumbs!
Our waiter was very nice and attentive. My order got lost somehow and I would typically remove a star for that but they made up for it but giving us extra garlic knots and a super HUGE steak! Much bigger than I ordered. We were pleasantly surprised by that.”

“Great country breakfast!!!”

“Charlie was so attentive - we had everything we needed before we even asked for it . The breakfast menu offers a variety of breakfast favorites at a reasonable price.”

“I wish I had taken a photo of our beautiful looking pizza. But we were hungry and had to dive into the goodness of pepperoni mushroom tomato and onion fassst!
Love the thin crust and fresh ingredients. So good.
Highly recommended 😋😋😋”
