Our work group came for our final dinner before we go home tomorrow. Michelle was a phenomenal server. Our food was great, drinks were spit in and a great atmosphere. Will definitely be on my list to visit again when I am in the area!!!
Extremely jacked up prices for less than average food... I wouldn't want to eat there again even if they were having a half off sale...
That chicken sandwich… 💜💜💜💜

The Stave is a cozy roadside diner in bourbon country, conveniently located near distilleries, so planning ahead is recommended. The restaurant offers local specialties like hot chicken sandwich with pimento cheese and stave burger, which are popular choices. The staff provides helpful service, making evenings enjoyable. Guests often praise the mouthwatering shrimp and grits and fried chicken sandwich, noting the well-seasoned grits and perfectly cooked shrimp. The smoked bologna sandwich is considered the best some have had, as 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 hard to ensure good service, even for larger groups. Reservations are suggested, but they also accommodate walk-ins by adjusting tables. The bar area offers great service and has a large bourbon selection, perfect for conversations and drinks. The restaurant often receives praise for its friendly southern hospitality, especially during Sunday brunch, where everything from the pimento cheese to the Bloody Mary's is appreciated. Overall, The Stave is a place that many find worth revisiting, thanks to its good food, drinks, and welcoming atmosphere.
