The Burgoo Stew is the perfect comfort food and paired with the spicy pimento cheese sandwich, Jesus Christ, it was absolutely amazing. The service was great as well. The only thing that I have to drop points on us atmosphere and its simply because there isn't enough seating in the place. They could have 200 more seats and there wouldn't be enough though. I had to stand for a very long time before I could sit down and order.

Loved the rustic comfortable layout including a functioning real fireplace. The place to be on a cold day like yesterday.

Loved the atmosphere and friendly wait staff. We stopped specifically for the burgoo and were extremely disappointed- it basically was a vegetable beef soup….Not authentic burgoo that I’ve had at other restaurants .Chef may want to create a new recipe to serve. Salad and other items were very good. Would definitely visit again.

New fav place. Super cozy. Fireplace and tasty foods. The BLY did not disappoint and I've had the soup beans before too. Perfect way to warm up on a cold day.

Great atmosphere. Having a seat next to the fireplace was great! The old fashioned was strangely underwhelming. It almost had no flavor. But service was great.

Fun little space in the collective.They have a good sized patio and very cozy interior. We stopped by for a drink after having a slice of pie and were not disappointed by our old fashioned. The selection on the wall was impressive and the prices were reasonable. The staff was friendly without being overbearing. Definitely recommend a stop here!

We had the beer cheese platter, distillers board, and country ham sliders and everything was excellent. The distillers board was super worth the price and definitely worth getting!
