The Stave is a gem in bourbon country, with a cozy roadside diner vibe. It's conveniently located near distilleries, so planning ahead is a good idea. Local specialties like hot chicken sandwich with pimento cheese and stave burger are must-tries. The staff is helpful, making evenings memorable. The shrimp and grits and fried chicken sandwich are mouthwatering, with well-seasoned grits and perfectly cooked shrimp. The smoked bologna sandwich is noted as the best some have had, and the meats are smoked in-house with house-made sauces and dressings. The atmosphere is casual and can get tight when busy, but the staff works diligently to ensure great service, even for larger groups. Reservations are recommended, but they adjust tables for walk-ins. The bar area also offers great service, making it a perfect spot for conversations and dinner choices. Overall, this place is a definite 10/10, worth revisiting.
