Edit 12/16/25: Thanks for your response. We actually called back the day before to confirm and left a voicemail but didn’t receive a response from you. We also called when we were standing outside that morning and did not get a response.

I would not chance going here since they don’t even keep reservations. Me and my friends had a reservation at 11am that was made and confirmed by phone. We arrived to the restaurant and the doors were locked. I knocked on the door and the two people inside looked at us and ignored us knocking. After not being acknowledged we ended up leaving. We would have appreciated it if they simply came to the door to say they had to cancel the reservation. We left and went to Copper Shark and were accommodated immediately.

Probably need to change the store hours. Spent $10 to uber here on a Thursday at 12:50 pm. It’s closed.

I do not recommend this place at all. And that’s disappointing because I wanted to support this business I’ve heard so much about and I made a 60-minute drive to patron. The food is underwhelming, undercooked OR overcooked and you will wait. It took an hour to obtain my meal yet there were only 2 tables. Additionally, they were out of some items. I don’t recall the party of 7 getting the notification of what they were out of, so maybe it was to ensure they had enough for their larger group. If your menu is limited to lemons, make the best darn lemonade with that you have/offer. I hope you find this review helpful.

Awesome food and friendly service but it came out pretty slow. They had only two people working in back tho, so totally understandable.

We enjoyed eating at this amazing spot while staying at a b&b across the road. The food was delicious! The ambiance was delightful! Kudos to the chef/owner, Heather Smith, for her professionalism and friendliness. ❤️

I tried calling this restaurant @1pm on a Wednesday to make a reservation and was put on hold for over 10 minutes with no one ever coming back to the line. I called back twice more and got no answer. The third time I finally reached someone, I was asked to hold yet again. I heard people talking in the background but no one ever came back to the phone. At that point, I gave up. How can anyone support a business that doesn’t even take the time to properly answer a customer’s call? Very disappointing experience.

As soon as my wife and I walked in, we were greeted with a smile. The VIBE is amazing. Steffon then seated us and took our drink orders. I had the Cadillac on 22's (just woke up from nap lol) and my wife loved her drink 🍸 and she normally does not drink alcohol.

Now for the food 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥Chef Heather is amazing. The Brown Sugar French Toast, Espresso Rub Wings and country potatoes (Party time for your taste buds), Salmon with Fried grits & cheese...ALL DELICIOUS.

We will be back and bringing FAMILY & FRIENDS...#AdventuresofTnJ #TTC4LIFE

I'm writing to share feedback about a frustrating experience my party had on Friday, May 16th. We had planned to dine at your restaurant and arrived around 7:30-8:00 PM for what should have been prime dinner service, only to find the establishment completely closed with no explanation.
The doors were locked, lights were off, and there was a closed sign displayed, but no indication of why you were closed or whether this was temporary. Most concerning was the complete lack of communication - no signage explaining the closure and no way for us to understand the situation.
This unexpected closure significantly disrupted our evening plans, as we had specifically chosen your restaurant before attending an event at Inner Harbor. We were forced to scramble for last-minute alternatives, which delayed our entire evening and caused considerable stress and frustration.
While I understand that unexpected closures can happen due to emergencies or unforeseen circumstances, the lack of any communication was particularly disappointing. A simple detailed sign explaining the situation would have gone a long way toward managing customer expectations and preventing wasted trips.
I hope you'll consider implementing better communication protocols for future closures to prevent other customers from experiencing this same frustration.

Really enjoyed this place. Went for a quick bite with my mom while waiting for family to meet us at the railroad museum. The restaurant has really cool vibes , nice staff and most importantly, good food. I got the jerk chicken sandwich. Was delicious. Prices were reasonable and I expect to go back again.
