Dang ol good food nice spot, man. I’ll tell you what, I had a good sandwich and stuff.
Would never recommend or go back there ever again. They truly need to get rid of the manager Ron ... his behavior is unacceptable.
Food is great! But keep politics out of your restaurant; people are looking for an escape when they’re going out they don’t wanna be bombarded reminded regardless of either party.

Not bad for a Saturday dinner in the summer. Waited 15-20 minutes for a table. Waiter came for drinks and returned pretty fast for as busy as it was. Food was good. Service a little slow but it was a as Saturday

I love going to this place and the food is amazing. The atmosphere is great but we had such a poor experience with the manager at this place. He is arrogant and very rude. If you are a local he treats you like gold, but if you are someone he doesn’t recognize, he treats you very poorly. Do better, this place is a great restaurant and come here often.
To be specific, we ordered nachos with just cheese on top. My wife is gluten free and was just looking for something she could eat off of the menu. When the nachos came out with everything on top, we politely said we didn’t want them as we were just looking for cheese. The waiter was very polite and said no problem, I’ll send you out another one. A couple minutes later, the manager came over with the same order of nachos and said we had to take that order, or nothing else. We quickly denied it and he said it was too hard to make another order with just cheese. He refused to allow to put another order in and decided that starring at us throughout the night while still dining in was the best course of action.
I would def recommend this restaurant to others but would avoid this manager as he isn’t polite and just looking to converse with locals and not people who come down for weekends and enjoy a great environment.

We’ve had multiple bad experiences at Used to Be’s, all due to the same rude and unprofessional manager. He’s consistently disrespectful, dismissive, and refuses to listen to reasonable concerns.
Most recently, we were told our party of 10 could be seated together. After waiting over an hour (which we were fine with), we were suddenly told we’d be split at a table for 6. When we asked why, the manager spoke down to us and made zero effort to accommodate our group or even explain the situation respectfully.
This wasn’t an isolated incident, it’s a pattern. We’ve given this place too many chances and are always left frustrated by how poorly the manager treats customers.
There are flys everywhere, food took a very long time to come out. I asked for a sprite and they just gave me sparkling wate but besides that the food is fine.

The breakfast at the cafe dune grass attached is stellar. Worth
a try for sure.

Great experience, just a little strange having to get 2 separate checks for food and alcohol.
Great if the bouncers would let people that are clearly over 21 in. Rejecting people because you don’t understand the IDs from states outside of the tri-state area is a poor excuse for bouncers. Get better
Food was delicious, service was mediocre.
