“The food was delicious and the server was friendly and offered suggestions on substitutes. I decided to pair the brisket perogies with the mushrooms and truffles. 🤌“

“Bone-in Pork Chop with Broccoli Rabe and Roasted White Potatoes. What you see most is the Carolina Gold BBQ sauce. Presentation made it hard to eat without some hint of the sauce. For me, the sauce was too close to out of the jar yellow mustard. I would have liked more char on the pork chop and less on the Broccoli leaf, which basically tasted like ash. The chop and the vegetables were underseasoned. At least the pork chop was cooked to a good medium. This was the off-menu special. I like the concept, but the gold overpowered everything on this plate.

My wait staff was awesome. Very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Also, quick to refill the cup. They were very attentive to the needs of all of the tables around me. Seating is available inside and out. Although the outside seating will require you to listen to the highway traffic.

There is a great balance of wine and beers, and they offer seasonal cocktails.

I'd return to maybe try a restaurant staple rather than specials.“

“Ate dinner there about a week ago. Food was good but their telephone rang at top volume the entire time we were there making it difficult to talk or enjoy our meal. Complained to waitress who said it had to be that way so they could hear in the back for take out orders. The restaurant was far from busy for in house dining so I guess the owner doesn't care about us; only the take out customers! I have eaten here for years and tried to support them during covid but never again.“

“Went there for our son’s engagement party with her family, amazing experience and night. Thank you Nick!“

“was at nicks tonight. kudos to the cooks. our meals were really good. The only thing that was disappointing was our waitress. she was sitting at the bar with a customer and we were looking for her to serve us some more drinks. service used to be tip top. we will come back for the food, not so much the service.“

“Great food, drinks and entertainment.“

“Came here because it was open, not crowded, and close to my hotel. I could not be happier that I walked in. The bartender was AMAZING and should be called a mixologist. His drinks were on point and he was so knowledgeable, friendly, and really into his craft.

The food was good, the dessert was amazing. The whipped cream was out of this world.

It was not crowded on the rainy Tuesday so I feel like service was top notch. I would not hesitate to return and would absolutely recommend this place to everyone.“

“Dietary restrictions: Wife was on a restricted diet due to just getting out of a hospital stay but found the coconut shrimp just what the doctor ordered. ;-)

Parking: There was plenty of free parking and in the back there were handicap spaces close to the deck where we sat out and ate and watched the golfers on the beautiful golf course there. A pleasant experience for us on a delightful evening with my wife who had just gotten released from the hospital and wanted to go out.

Wheelchair accessibility: There was a ramp to get up to the deck in the back but we did not have to use it.“

“We had dinner this evening at the Water Shed Pub. What an enjoyable evening!!!! The appetizer we started with was the karaage chicken. I can’t explain how the flavors come together for this dynamic appetizer but, Wow! It was fantastic!!! Our entrees of the scallop po boy…..( yum!!! )…… and the seafood enchiladas……. ( oh my goodness!!! ). …were delightful!! So, so delicious!!!! Sweet potato pie and pumpkin cheesecake ice cream were an amazing ending to a superb meal!!! We’ll definitely be back soon! There’s lots more on the menu that we can’t wait to try!!!“

“DJ’s Smoke shack prepared the food for my mother-in-law‘s 100th birthday party celebration. There were 51 attending, and everyone raved about the food. The price was half what I was quoted from Dickies’ Barbecue. We were provided a large container to keep all the food hot until we served it. There was plenty of food for everyone and leftovers to split among families. We had barbecued chicken, pulled pork, three sauces, rolls, baked beans, and macaroni and cheese which tasted just like homemade. I will definitely use this business for parties again.“

“My family took me here for my birthday lunch. We all enjoyed our lunch: French dip with fries, grilled roast beef, Pittsburgh salad, and burger with sweet potato fries. Their desserts were divine: chocolate cake with peanut butter icing, chocolate raspberry cheesecake and an eclair. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area. The total cost (before tip) was $173. Note: cost includes 4 sodas and one alcoholic drink.“
