Emily's Eatery & Events Reviews
This was our first time here. Had a great night visiting with friends over some amazing food. Everything was absolutely delicious. We got so wrapped up talking that we didn’t realize we accidentally held the staff past closing time. Kelby and Addy were more than sweet and even spent time talking to our littles. Those girls deserve lots of kudos! Highly recommend this place 🤍
I cannot say enough about the food and service! We reserved the section upstairs for a retirement party and it was absolutely perfect. Emily was our server and she didn’t miss a beat, despite having to run up and down the stairs. Our food was delicious and came out fast, and we never waited long for drinks. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
The food is delicious with a wide selection. The burgers and po'boy sandwiches were AMAZING! And all of the appetizers we've had have been fantastic! The atmosphere is modern and upscale casual. You could go in a t-shirt and jeans or a suit and not feel out of place. My husband and I are so thankful to have a good, local date spot.

Emily's Eatery & Events offers delicious food in a modern and upscale casual atmosphere that is both fun and relaxed, suitable for everything from a t-shirt to a suit. The menu has a wide selection, with fantastic appetizers like the highly recommended Hot Honey Cheese Balls and Mac n cheese bites. Meals such as the amazing burgers, po'boy sandwiches, smash burger, chicken tenders, and perfect bruschetta are all cooked to perfection, homemade, and very filling. The restaurant is very family friendly and is also a perfect local date spot or place for events like a retirement party.
Service is generally great with amazing, sweet, and patient staff who are good at their job, making guests feel right at home. Food comes out fast and drinks are refilled promptly. However, service can sometimes need work, with occasional waits for food, drinks, silverware, and napkins, especially on busy days. Despite this, the experience is often wonderful, leaving guests thankful and highly recommending everyone give it a chance. Many plan on returning, even if just for the cheese balls.
