“I've been here twice with my wife and kid. Both times we felt welcomed and the food was amazing. I had the Sassy Scotty the first time and decided second time to get a scoop of it plus the Fruity Fran. Both are fantastic. The quality is consistent in both times I had the Sassy Scotty. Fruity Fran had the perfect mix to get the right amount fruit and chicken in each bite. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it doesn't go unnoticed by my family. 10,000,000/10, highly recommend.

Kid-friendliness: They provide activities for the kiddos to help spark their creativity.“

“First time @ saltines, and it did not disappoint! The cocktails and food were all fabulous. Signed scrolls was a perfectly mixed tequila cocktail. Our table shared hush puppies and shrimp and lobster spring rolls, which were a very unique treat. The wood fired oysters were as amazing as you'd expect! Entrées were big portions, and don't you dare leave without having the cinnamon roll cheesecake!!! I will be back and cannot wait to try something different the next time, because there were so many great options on their menu“

“Sarah, my server, absolutely amazing. I ordered the turnip green bites as an appetizer. It should have been my main dish. OMGoodness, they are delicious.
On the other side of things, my salmon was a bit overcooked. I'll take the blame since I didn't request medium.
The turnip green bites definitely made up for that.“

“Wes and I try to visit Martin’s in Livingston once a month or so. Today we had to work in the afternoon and didn’t feel like cooking. We had a few cold beers with friends and a few appetizers. We tried the bbq Pork Skins with queso and the Ultimate hush puppies. The Pork Skins were fantastic. I really liked them. The hush puppies were really hard and dry; hard to chew but Dalton, the bartender, gladly brought us another order. The Pork Skins were still better. We brought home a Club Sandwich, the Cordon Blue sandwich, and the Philly Steak and Cheese. Good food, good service, cold beers, and good times. We’ll be back.“

“The manager and the server worked to put us in a more comfortable table. I had originally made a reservation for four but we had two more people that want to join when I requested a table for six. The hostess said there was not a table available for six, but then we were brought to a table that sat six people. I asked the manager if he could move us to a round table in the back several were open and he agreed and did that for us and turned what was going to be an unpleasant situation into a very pleasant afternoon dining experience “
