Our server, Fletcher, was fantastic, attentive, knowledgeable and perfectly timed with every course. The execution of the food, the hospitality, and the overall atmosphere are consistently outstanding. Chris, the owner, is unbelievably kind and attentive, making guests feel genuinely welcomed. It's clear that a lot of pride goes into every detail. Truly a one-of-a-kind dining experience that we look forward to every time.

“The food, service, and atmosphere was off the chain!!! Great place to eat and hangout!!!“

“Sunday brunch at Ruby Sunshine was a nice mix of sweet and savory. I ordered the chicken and waffles with a side of cheesy grits, while my friend chose the shrimp and grits. The chicken had a crisp coating, and the waffles were fluffy with lightly browned edges. The grits were creamy and went well with the savory dishes. The dining room had a busy brunch crowd, but the staff kept things moving without making us feel rushed.“

“PERFECT LOVED IT“

“This place is so good! Colin was our server he gave amazing recommendations that we all loved. We had an allergy at our table and he made sure to check and let us know what was it which dish. He recommended the Viet Cajun Sandwich which was worth going back and having again. We also had the shrimp and grits. Let me tell you go now and get them! Highly highly recommend this place. We will for sure be going back.“

“Stopped from out of town to enjoy a nice dinner and would come back 10 more times. Our waiter was quick and friendly, our bar drinks were delicious and the food was the star. Pork Rinds, meatloaf, catfish & grits + kids meals. So happy we popped in.“

“If you enjoy higher quality meats and a meal that is what it is without substitutions, meaning you eat what you are served , they are allergies conscious and will ask in advance, so no worries there. The menu changes and usually has something additional the wait staff will let you know about. The food and service are of good quality. This is a pork chop with bacon jam and basic corn pudding and collard greens, all very good and well prepared. The other dish is the chicken. The appetizer was the pickle board, I do wish they had a better variety of cheeses, they did allow me to switch out a cheese I did not care for so substitute was allowed.“

“Pam is, without a doubt, the best person ya ever wanna meet! highly recommend!“

“I love this venue for any occasion. It's spacious and elegant for a small or medium size event. I love the fact that the kitchen and counter space are separated by a wall and two double swinging doors to hide the workings of the kitchen.“

“If your are looking for a nice laid back spot that is different from the norm yes this is it. Yet the food is amazing, best philly and wings I can think of. I’m a country boy and they even have hotdogs one they the best in town.“

“Green’s is always great, and this location on Garners Ferry is no exception! It’s not quite as big as some of the other Green’s stores I’ve been to, but they still have any and every alcoholic beverage you could ask for. On the beer side, they have all the major imported, domestic, and IPA beers, as well as an excellent selection of local craft beers to go alongside them. On the spirits side, they have an equally impressive selection of wines (one of which my friend couldn’t find anywhere else) and liquors, to include every generic and/or high-dollar item that you’re looking for. Overall, I’ve always loved Green’s, and I’m happy to see that this location on Garners Ferry is up to snuff with the rest of them!“

“My cousin and I visited on Black Friday. The bartenders were great and the vibes were on point. The lounge itself is so cute. Anna poured amazing drinks and kept the music flowing. The food... the food... Terrible! We both had the Ribeye and they were burnt and chewy.. How they managed that on a medium rare cook is beyond me. My caesar was good, but I doubt I'd ever order food from here again. I will definitely return for good drinks and vibes though.“

“This is a very sexy venue with upscale delicious menu and stunning cocktails. The service is always on point, in fact most of the bar staff even remembers my name and favorite drink! I have never had a bad experience here and recommend this place to anyone who enjoys impeccable service and quality cusine.“

“Celebrated my 61st birthday there.We had an awesome time ‼️“

“First time trying this restaurant, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It's definitely a vibe. Our server was friendly and attentive, although the food took a little longer than expected to come out.

I started with the Lychee Mimosa, which was delicious. I also ordered the Spicy Edamame, and it was excellent. For my main dish, I had the Spicy Miso Ramen. While it was good overall and had great flavor, I felt the broth was lacking a bit of richness, so it wasn't my favorite dish.

Overall, I had a good experience and would definitely come back to try more items on the menu.“

“The food is very good! love this place.“

They have local artist come and perform and these performers aren’t just regular folk. They are blessed with significant gifts the Lord gave them and sharing them here at The Joint. Go check this place out. You won’t want to miss this Live music venue and restaurant.“

Making sure food is hot and drinks are filled. Birria tacos and Elotes are my favorite! They are a must get when you come! And look for Julian! He will make sure you have everything you need for a great night! This guy is the best server!!“

“Frank was amazing. Very friendly and high energy. We came at 9:15 and were the only ones seating in the hibachi area. He came out and gave a show like it was a full room. Very friendly and not too much. Allowed us space to talk and enjoy dinner as well. He made our night. Food was amazing and fresh. Tried this different style of noodles and was pleasantly surprised.“

“Today was my first time going, but it definitely won't be my last. This is not your typical restaurant, so expect that.... but great vibes.. great music.. good food.. love the Mimosas... Go try it out‼️“
