“First time! Gorgeous evening to sit on the patio. Patio ambiance was upscale casual.

Service: Server (Mackenzie) was perfect - personalized recommendations, quick turnaround on requests, always there when needed and invisible when not needed.

Starters and drinks: My only criticism of the meal is that our caesar dressing was not chilled (as though it had sat out before being poured) but the flavor was perfectly peppery and the romaine was crisp. Our drinks were an old fashioned (garnished with cherry & orange and made strong) and an espresso martini (3-bean garnish but not particularly strong).

Entrees: one filet mignon with asparagus (cooked to just the right an of crisp) and baked potato and one peppered salmon on rice. Both entrees were the highest quality, prepared to perfection; I suspect that anything on the menu would exceed expectations.

Service (continued): Teammate - name unknown - kept our waters topped off and discarded dishes cleared from the table without interrupting. Five stars.“

“Great food and such a fun time! We will definitely be back!“

“We ordered sausage skillet & raisin toast. Biscuits & gravy, bacon, eggs, & hash browns. All was very good! We did carryout, excellent service! Plus, Mom & I had breakfast a couple weeks ago & great service & food! Happy they are back!😊“

“The food is amazing. Weve tried nearly everything on the menu and it has yet to disappoint. The weekly specials that are off menu have also been really good. The small patio typically houses a small band. The inside is nice and quiet. The wait staff is really knowledgeable and very kind. The food is made to order. The steak has been consistently cooked to temp. Highly recommend. The new chef is great“

“my 4yr old grandson and I go there as often as we can. Great service and great food. Definitely beats McDonald's were he usually wants to go. He eats biscuits and gravy sausage links and fried potatoes there. when before we went there he wouldn't eat anything but McDonald's. so glad to have this place to go to. Plus like I said super friendly place with awesome service“

“Normally, I support your business but you guys are going to make someone sick. I just got a box of chicken that could only eat the outside because, it's not done. I took a bite of a leg and it tasted funny. So, I looked at it and it was red and pink. gross If, I get sick you'll be hearing from me. I'm so disappointed“

“Great little place we visited on a whim from out of town to meet a friend.

We were seated politely in the back area with lots of patio umbrellas on a nice deck porch.

We had lunch, but it looks like they have live music and a really great atmosphere for the evenings for anyone looking for a great place to chill with friends and a very relaxed atmosphere outdoors.

The bacon popcorn was really great. I had a chicken sandwich that was pretty good (maybe the chicken was a tiny dry) and my husband really loved his Cuban sandwich.

I would definitely try this place again on a Sunday afternoon

Parking: Pull into the back to park“

“I won’t say I don’t recommend as we’ve been there a couple times before and had a great experience! Last night neither of us enjoyed what we ordered, our fault, we both went against what we were going to originally order….we ate it, it’s fine, you live and learn. Our waitress is what left a bad taste. It’s like she instantly had something in her head about us or we weren’t one of her regulars that she had to cater to as she was sitting, laughing and chatting with those around us. Not friendly, short answers and would set our drinks down after being told thank you and just walk away. The only time there was even a hint of friendliness is when it came time to pay.“

“the food is always great, the service is above and beyond! and the waitresses are always there to greet you with a smile!“

“Been eating here off and on when in the area for years“

“It’s a cool lil bar with great people and good food. It’s a place you need to get to while out on the side by side or motorcycle“

“Cone for lunch specials quite often. Good food and drinks. Staff is always friendly. You can sit at the bar or at a table. Decor could use updating, but they're working on improving that. Great place.“

“Good food, nice folks, great service!“

“Food was fire. Service was trying to cause my table to question our own reality, memories, or sanity, though.“

“Had a damn good time. Stopped in Saturday after spending the day at the racetrack outside of town to watch the Alabama / Georgia game, and we decided to try a bunch of their wings and drinks. The wings were awesome and perfectly fried, and all of the sauces we tried were delicious. I had plans to try other things on the menu while we were there, but 30 wings later, and I never made it any further. It's definitely a nice spot, and I see why all of the locals like it.“

“Best food and restaurant ever!“

“I love this place. We frequent here because of the great drinks and food!“

“Chubby's grill and garage is a wonderful place to grab a big juicy burger, fries, and appetizers. Great food specials weekly, as well as drink specials. It is family friendly. The staff are all super friendly people. The owner is a stand up guy, and you can tell he really cares about his customers and he treats his employees with love and respect like any great owner would. I would HIGHLY reccomend this place to ANYONE looking to have some great food, drinks, and fun. The hours are 11am to 11pm, kitchen is 11am to 10pm. this place is an absolute gem 💎.“

“Place has been around 29 years for a reason. Best Steak Special in the country. $19.00 for a 16oz. Filet, potato, and green beans. And the Steak is as good as anywhere in this area. You definitely want to go eat there. And on Mondays they have 16 inch 1 topping pizzas from 2-Midnight. The 1 Star reviews given to this place are by people who have personal issues with something or someone. The food is always cooked right and the atmosphere is always nice and comfortable“

“Passing through the area at lunch time, hungry for local fish, I found Podner's and got their catfish nuggets and fries. Yum!! The ladies who served me were very kind. The place isn't fancy, but sometimes the best food is served in a humble atmosphere. Thank you, ladies, so much!“

“Had a child's birthday party here. Is was so much fun. Really reasonably priced. Great pizza. I was actually surprised at how good the pizza was. ? I didn't plan on bowling, the kids had a blast, and I ended up bowling with some of the adults. I haven't bowled in years. It was so fun. The service was really good. They kept on top of the party, even when adding bowlers, they made sure we got the pizza and pitchers that were included with the party. Super impressed, will be back for sure.“
