“We had a party of 12 and were very happy how accomodating they were for us on a very busy morning. The food was excellent. The waitress was fun and she'll certainly remember us...and my "brown gravy" for my pancakes.... We highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Let’s start with the food… nothing short of AMAZING. We got an array of food, chicken, veal, pasta, shrimp, calamari. The portion sizes are UNREAL. Enough for at least two meals after you eat. Now our waitress Brenda. She is everything a waitress should be and MORE. Unbelievable people skills. She made us feel like family, like we’ve known her forever. She was absolutely INCREDIBLE!❤️ we’ll be back for sure!“

“Usually like the food at Mr Gs - I ordered fried fish dinner. Fish was overcooked, coating so hard on bottom of the 2 pieces. The mashed potatoes very dark and dry. The cole slaw was gross, it didnt seem like cabbage, more like kale. Since it was comped I didnt say anything. My wifes brolied fish was ok. The menu is the same old, week in and week out. A prime rib is offered on Weds in December, but why not have prime rib on weekends? Anyways not good last nite but will go again.“

“We hosted the Rehearsal Dinner of our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding at The Mason Jar in April 2025. The atmosphere, decor, space and food offered us a relaxing and comfortable “night before” celebration! The staff was outstanding! So friendly and welcoming to our group. Joanne was so great to work with during planning and at the dinner. The bartender and wait staff were attentive and personable. Overall a great experience! Thank you!“

“I came here last night to celebrate my birthday and had such a wonderful experience. Our waitress, Kari, was absolutely amazing—thoughtful with her recommendations, attentive without being overbearing, and she had such a refreshing, friendly personality. She made sure we had everything we needed the entire evening. We started with the braised beef short rib ravioli, which was beyond tasty—rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. For my main course, I had the crusted pork chop with au gratin potatoes and escarole, and it was truly delicious and cooked to perfection. And the peanut butter pie for dessert was exactly the sweet treat I needed to end the night. To top it all off, the manager even came out to wish me a happy birthday, which made the experience feel extra special. The atmosphere is calming, cozy, and welcoming, and everyone we interacted with was incredibly friendly. If you’re looking for an upscale dining experience without breaking the bank or risking disappointment, Creekside is it. I can’t recommend it enough and will definitely be back!“

“It has been my great pleasure to eat and drink and socialize at Nola’s for thirteen years.

The faces are always friendly and the offerings always delicious! I’ve seen the interior redecorated one or two times, indulged in takeout drinks during COVID, had strangers at the bar buy my dinner twice, and so much more. Nola’s and the people who run it are a huge blessing to the community!

After all that time, at long last I feel compelled to exalt the Nola’s experience and tell anyone who will listen about a new offering on the Spring 2026 menu:

The Nashville Hot Chicken

A gorgeous pair of beautifully breaded cutlets in a creamy dill blue cheese sauce that sets off the hot sauce and complements the accompanying stack of red cabbage slaw and sweet & sour pickles. It is a festival of flavors and textures any way you bite it.
It’s been on the menu for less than two weeks and I’ve come up with excuses to go eat it three times so far (soon to be four thank goodness!)

So, hustle on over and order that chicken!!!“

“Food is great, service was pretty good. Everything is made on location, even bread & desserts. Best restaurant in Rome, easily. I had a "lobster tail" for dessert (flaky pastry in shape of lobster tail filled with chocolate mousse). It was off-the-charts-GREAT. Go! Prices are very decent, food is great.“

“I treated myself to breakfast and it was wonderful! My server got my order in before the big table of 10, so my service was quick! I enjoyed the broccoli and cheese omelette with sourdough toast. Very filling and worth the price. The coffee was good too-just what I'd expect at a diner. All-in-all, a great little local diner!“

“Today I went to this Denny's.
It provided the way I thought it would, except for ONE FLAW.. So, I order the Make your Own Grand Slam with 2 Eggs (Ordered them over easy) 2 Bacon Strips, Toast, and Pancakes. It came pretty quick, 8 minutes, not bad. The eggs were suspicious. I checked them and, what do ya know? It's not cooked right. It's not cooked AT ALL. So, I get it remade of course. They remake it, but with extra surprise. The surprise? It was greater than if my mom cooked it. My waiter was so good with service and understanding. So, I just wanna say, thank you, Denny's Staff. :D“
