“We cook all of our burgers to the internal temperature of 165 degrees which is well done, but because we cook them on a smoker grill, they will still have a pink color, as smoking meats gives meat a pink color. I’m sorry you thought they were raw and threw them away. They were well done“

“I have followed this page for quite a few years though I live in Ohio. The Mayor of Putnam County Tn. made a mention in a post and I have hoped to give them a try. Other than cooking for myself (or my Grandma's cooking), this is hands down the best southern food I have had in years. The staff was very polite. I am only disappointed that they are so far from home.“

They had small children, She spoke to them with as much respect as she does any grown-up. We will ask for Tiffany the next time we come back“

“Great food and service.
My only complaint is about the TINY swivel-seat barstools.
We had a party of 4 and wanted to sit at the bar.
As soon as we sat down, we all looked at each other and said, “Uhhh, let’s get a table instead.”
We are average size people but these bar stool seats literally look like they’re made for children.
Very uncomfortable. I guarantee the bartenders must be losing out on lots of tips just because the barstools deter people from sitting at the actual bar.
I’ll be back (just not at the bar until they replace those barstools). #easyfix“
