“I had lunch today at Chapman’s. They had a risotto special and I decided to take a walk on the wild side, instead of ordering my go to. It was so good! It had shrimp, spinach,and a few other things in it. The portion was huge. It was definitely a win! I hope they will serve it again sometime. He server was great and very pleasant.Thanks Chapmans!“

“Every time we go we have an amazing experience. We have visited throughout the years and it’s always good. Great food and excellent cocktails with a cozy atmosphere . I advise sitting on the pub side. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I am 46 years old and I just recently formed a core memory from eating at 195. When I say this was possibly the best meal of my life, it is only because I cannot remember loving what I was eating more. It was that kind of meal that becomes the topic of conversation for days to come. Somebody in that kitchen knows what the f*** they are doing.“

“They served roast beef sandwich and called it prime rib. Cobb salad is a joke! Where's the meat....chicken and bacon.“

“Course great condition staff awesome. Love the teebox selection“

“I like the Bell Tree Tavern usually. A few days ago, had the Potato soup on Tuesday. It had a sour taste that me and an older lady at a close by table noticed and told our respective waitresses. It was rancid. I asked for them to talk to the kitchen…. Nada. I missed 8 hours of work……roughly $508.“

“Had an amazing experience this past weekend, we brought both my parents and five month old daughter for an early seating. The steak special was 10oz and even had a langoustine cheese topping, chunks of lobster yum!!, mom had the barramundi fish special and the white Bordeaux blend were outstanding. Love how there are constantly specials changing but some of our favorites (the duck and hangar steak) remain on the menu. Attentive staff had pairing recommendations and everyone felt the warm, positive vibes coming from the kitchen! We’ve eaten here for years and this past weekend was next level, thank you!“

“Had lunch here today and it was delicious. The asparagus soup was out of this world, also the roast beef sandwich was fabulous! The service was excellent! If you are visiting this area anytime in the near future, I highly recommend that you give it a try!“

“Typical Donald Ross design! Probably the most undulating greens on any course that I've played that he designed! They redesigned the course a few years ago and added more undulations that Ross would have had in the original design to make the course more difficult, due to some holes being fairly short in distance! They also went back to the original sand hills natural areas instead of rough grass! If you're a great putter , you'll love this course!“

“It felt so nostalgic being in here last night. I ordered the banana pudding ice cream and as someone who loves all things banana, it just absolutely hit the spot! I’m ready to go back for more (and maybe a pint to bring home).

It was incredibly busy, with the line constantly to the door, but the girls behind the counter were truly amazing. They handled the rush with such ease, kindness, and efficiency, all while keeping smiles on their faces. That kind of service makes such a difference—thank you Izzy and Cadee!

I grabbed a seat by the window, enjoyed my ice cream, and people-watched while I waited for my food and it was exactly what my soul needed.“

“Pretty much everything about this restaurant is perfect! The beef was fantastic, the sides were fabulous, and the desert finished everything off wonderfully. We were very blessed to have a calm quiet atmosphere, even with a significant amount of people. The beef was tender, cooked exactly to medium rare as I desired; my wife enjoyed her plate as well. I would have liked a little bit of brown sugar, with my sweet potato, but the food is pretty much indescribable. So just look at the pictures...Then decide for yourself if you want to go. The key lime pie just topped everything off perfectly, the citrus notes balancing the fattinessand flavor of the beef. Go and enjoy! Just make sure you make a reservation first.“

“Our Breakfast GO TO! Down home goodness! food and staff are EXCELLENT 😁 my fav order is ...... 2 eggs OM, country ham, grits & a toasted English muffin. I got you hungry now, don't I! you're welcome. go check them out“

“👍Frank has really turned this Cracker Barrel around. The service is good and so is the food. I love the lemon peppered trout, the campfire meals, and the breakfasts. Also glad that the logo is not being changed.“

“Irimi was pur server today and was awesome!“

“Had a great experience last weekend eating here for dinner. Great atmosphere, our food was fantastic and so was our server, James. The owner, Jeff also made a point to come talk to and get to know us. 10/10 experience will absolutely be going back again soon!“

“Stumbled across this spot for lunch & was so impressed. I had the steak frites and it was amazing, cooked perfectly with amazing garnishes & bone marrow. Fries were phenomenal and the sprouts were perfectly roasted. My fiance had the stuffed chicken and also cleaned his plate. We already can’t wait to go back! Our waiter was extremely attentive as well!“

“Found this gem on Yelp. Visited with my husband, my son, and his girlfriend. The food was so good and the flavor profiles excellent. My husband and I split a cup of the seafood chowder - fabulous. I had the Mexican shrimp tacos, my husband had the special quiche, my son had a taco that was supposed to come on a flour tortilla, but they gladly substituted corn, and his girlfriend had the salmon wraps. At the end we split a piece of peanut butter pie. The food was all delicious including the sides of homemade regular and sweet potato chips and the broccoli slaw. We will definitely go back. As we left the owner took our pictures with our motorcycles pulled up to the entry. Awesome“

“Great food! Staff was friendly and a nice family gave me recommendations! All around feet first visit!“

“The Fire Cracker Shrimp Is Good“

“We had a Curbside order, and our server (J)/(J-ana) was AMAZING! She was so cool and polite, made sure we had the sauces we needed and everything. Sorry if I messed the name up girl! Lol I just wanna make sure they know who I'm talking about. Thank you so much again.“

“Very good atmosphere and service. Wait staff was very patient with us. Even waiting 30 min. For all our party to arrive. Will go again.“

“Live Smithfields but the quality of the chicken has lessened. Split instead of full chicken breaks and tenders are now little tenderloins. Taking a break from here for a while until food prices get better for everyone. Been disappointed the last 3 visits.“

“Hands down best chain barbecue I’ve had by a long shot and portion sizes are good as well 5/5 would recommend, ask about their catering services as well👍“
