“Tots wayyy to salty, feels as if they were soaked in the ocean
Pita got charcoal after taste flavor, not sure if it's the recipe or unclean grill 🤔
Their soda was flat, maybe it was extra diet
Mac n Cheese was not bad tho

I would call them, but in this economy I highly doubt they will care—so for others,
Make sure you check your food quality before leaving the establishment“

“Really love the aesthetic design and the drinks were phenomenal. The bartender was so knowledgeable and really took time to educate us and steer us in the direction. We went on a Friday night after dinner around 7:30. They were setting up for a house music DJ which we couldn't stay for. The music while we were there was a little too sleepy and there were only 2 other patrons, which was surprising considering how great the place and drinks were. Not a high energy place, next time we'll bring a chill group of friends with us and come a little later. Maybe we just hit it up at the wrong time.“

“Small little dive bar that you would never find if you were actually trying to look for it. My GPS randomly took me there but I almost left the parking lot when I pulled up front until I realized it was on the other side of the building not facing the road. Was only a couple people in there and I didn't stay too long because I was tired but the bartender was really cool and it was a nice little place that I would visit often if I live in the area. If you want something with a couple pool tables and a few dart boards with no frills and a true dive this would be the place!“

“What an amazing first experience we had tonight! My wife and I live in Myrtle Beach, but our child lives here. We are staying at their place watching their pets while they are away. This place has been on our to try list for a while now and we finally had the opportunity. What an incredible experience! The food was outstanding! The flavor was on point and the servings were huge! My wife and I each had an amazing pasta dish and split the largest piece of coconut cake we have ever seen. Now, you would think after all that I just wrote that would be the best part of our experience, but it wasn’t! The absolute best part was one of the kindest people we have ever met, Bella! Let me tell you the meaning of her name fits in so many ways! She was absolutely incredible! So kind! So caring! I honestly could go on and on! She made my mine and my wife’s evening such a memorable night.“
