This is one of the cleanest restaurant bathroom I’ve ever seen. The toilet area is spotless and everything feels fresh and well cared for.

“Omg! Every time I’m here I love it more! Absolutely the BEST food, service, people. It’s all 10 stars! I used Suthern Cluck to cater a meal for 48 people (my son’s theater group) and it was raved about for weeks! They are the best at all they do and they do it with a superior execution! Chef’s kiss! 😘“

“My husband and I decided to go on an impromptu brunch date and realized we hadn't been to Aquaterra Bistro in quite a while. We were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed it!

The atmosphere has a relaxed, casual feel while still feeling special enough for a date. We started with the smoked cream cheese appetizer, and it was incredible. The blackberry preserve and citrus mustard paired perfectly with the smoked cream cheese and created a combination of flavors that was absolutely delicious. Easily a 10/10 dish and something I'd order again in a heartbeat.

For our main course, we both chose the seafood omelet. We were pleasantly surprised by how generously it was filled with crab and shrimp. Combined with plenty of cheese, it was rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying.

Overall, it was a wonderful brunch experience with great food and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back for another date soon!“

“My chicken salad melt was yummy! The strawberry lemonade was a delight. Staff was very friendly. I’ll be back for sure:))“

“Stopped by for the first time ever today. I was greeted by Montgomery. I placed my order and carried on a conversation with Montgomery while i waited. He was a total sweetheart. I got back to the office and opened my food. Oh my....the biscuit and gravy was a very generous portion. It was delicious. It's been hard finding a place with that homemade sausage gravy. The grits were also a very generous portion. Not too runny and not too thick. Just perfect. Looking forward to going back and trying the BBQ.“

“I absolutely love this location! The staff is so sweet and helpful. It is always very clean amd staffed. I usually eat the Olivia's Old South chicken salad sandwich on the croissant but today I tried the Jill Pickle and it os my favorite so far. I was so sad to learn it is only seasonal. The soups are always great and the Broccoli salad is my absolute favorite!“

“This place has good food. The chicken plate is top tier and I enjoyed it a lot. Also another thing to get is the collard greens with the turkey. The service is very good she was very helpful and welcoming and I will definitely be coming back. Also I enjoyed the size portions and so if you are in the mood for good comfort food, that’s well seasoned this is the place. Touch of flavor“

“Absolutely amazing! From the food to the service and the atmosphere has a cool vibe. The live performer was incredible and she made the dinning experience wonderful and relaxed. Smothered pork chops, oxtails, greens, cabbage, banana pudding run don’t walk!! We will definitely be back!! Thank you for great meal!!“

“amazing brisket and collards!!!“

“Nice soft jazzy music overhead. I came for breakfast which was a very simple menu, the individuals behind the counter were very nice, they greeted return customers by name, which I thought was lovely. They thought my 1 month old baby girl was adorable (and she is). Breakfast over by 1030am and lunch started, so I asked for a side of greens (very large portion) which were very tender and NOT overly salted. Big plus. Cafeteria style lunch items and inexpensive. You get more food for lunch at $11 than you get for a burger or chicken combo at a fast food restaurant. I would return because the lunch food was fresh and friendly service. You can't really mess up simple breakfast.“

“Sometimes you just want great vegetables and a meal like your mother or grandmother cooked when you were at home. This is the place to go. The restaurant is very clean and the food is hot and well presented. They have a huge selection of meats that include fish, chicken, chicken livers, beef, and pork and vegetables of everything you would want, and a massive salad bar and it is all fresh. The desert bar has cakes, pies, ice cream, brownies, and cobblers that are so good. The breads they make are to die for. I highly recommended Golden Corral for a place to go that serves something for everyone. The service is fantastic and you can go back refill your plate as much as you like. Try it and you will become a regular. Enjoy.“

“5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely loved the authentic American breakfast vibe here! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed morning. One of the things I care about most is fresh, truly fresh orange juice, and they serve exactly that—freshly squeezed and delicious. The food is tasty, the service is friendly, and the overall experience feels genuine and cozy. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a real breakfast spot with great quality and a refreshing start to the day.“
