“Had an early dinner here and really enjoyed the experience. The food had great flavor, and they were very accommodating with food allergies, which I really appreciated.
I ordered the trout, and it was excellent. The presentation was beautiful, the portion size was generous, and the flavor was outstanding. Everything was prepared well, and you could tell care went into the dish.
Overall, a great meal with friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.“

“Very relaxed beach burger stand vibes that delivers not just on taste, but on quality as well. One of the best burgers I've had in WNC and I've had a lot of them. Get a shaved ice after to really drive home the nostalgic summer feel. Thanks for the great lunch Gigis!“

“im extremely picky with restaurants because I cook so good myself ... but I have absolutely zero complaints and ate every bite on my plate. I will be back for sure.... can't wait to come back , I think we just found our new favorite restaurant spot . I had the ahi tuna tacos and my husband had the BBQ quesadilla. we both swapped some of our meals with one another and loved both of them. took home a giant container of the chorizo queso too because it was so good ... and I almost never bring home extras from a restaurant but I had to have more of that dip. eat here , you won't be disappointed.“
