“It was cute and quiet and the service was good the ladies was nice the burgers were very good. We didn’t know this place existed but now that I do I will be going often. It’s not fancy by any means but it has its own vibe that feels like home. The prices are very reasonable and I really liked that.“

“Our meal here was absolutely delicious! Hannah was a wonderful server and very helpful with recommendations. The burger melted in our mouths & the handmade chips were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The veggie plate was (mac/cheese, squash casserole, broccoli, and beef veg soup) awesome, tasted homemade and portions were very generous! This was our first trip to Aubrey's and will definitely be on our 'favorite places to eat' list when we come back to Bristol!“

“Pretty good course. However, I would not rate it as a must play. Some challenging holes and some fun to play. The fairways are not plush and the greens were nothing to write home about. This place is nicer than most local courses but definitely not a top tier course.“

“I'm posting this about the Bristol location. There's a certain group of people who come in and sit at a bar table in the corner. I've seen this happen twice when they arrived orher customers had been seated at the table they like. Prior to receiving food the other customers have been asked to move to another table so this special group (they think they are )can have their regular table! I'm so upset that they let this happen especially management! I would have refused to leave the table if I was already seated. This is just ridiculous and I did make comments about it to our waitress and loud enough for the special group to hear. I never knew we could make people move at their table if we waited to sit there at Applebee's but they did last night and it's not the first time I've seen it. I may not ever go back.“

“We dined here this evening for my mother's birthday while shes in town visiting. The cocktails were excellent, our server was wonderful, crab hush puppies were very good though the dipping sauce was very spicy. The steaks were cooked properly but lacked flavor. The sides left much to be desired, mashed potatoes had a strange aftertaste and my cake and steak Oscar was delivered not in the nicely stacked way it was supposed to be, the waiter explained "it wouldn't stay stacked". There was some unidentifiable crumbly stuff that i think was supposed to be my crab cake but did not have any resemblance of a crab cake and was so spicy I could barely eat it. The sprouts were very hard but had a nice flavor. Everything was overall just ok, nothing to be wowed about. I had much higher expectations for this place, kind of disappointed.“

“We eat here typically when we are out late or I work late. The food is consistent and good. I typically always get the Allstar meal customized to my liking with a blueberry waffle. My husband and son typically get the texas bacon cheese melt. I have also tried a few other things on the menu, including biscuits and gravy, sausage egg and cheese biscuit, and a few of the breakfast bowls. We have never had a complaint with our food. The servers are always on point. The atmosphere is always welcoming, and we never fail to get greeted and treated like family. Also very kid friendly!
