“Visiting the area from Charlotte and WHAT?! Just had the *best* meal and service!! This place is a gem. The atmosphere, service (thank you kindly to our server, Caty), and steak was truly perfect. If I could take it all back with me, yes. In a heart beat. Honestly sad we leave tomorrow because I’d love to eat here again. The live music was the cherry on top! If you’re contemplating visiting, you will not be disappointed!!”

“Matt was so kind & welcoming! He gave us an Oreo cheesecake and it was incredibly delicious. We will definitely be back.”

“We had family driving 4 hours to visit with us for the weekend. We knew Harmony Lane was a “must see” for us. We were a group of 14 with ages ranging from 10 months to mid 70’s. Everyone had a blast! They have a great variety of animals to pet, the facilities are neat and tidy with a very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Cuddling the baby goats with relaxing Christian music playing in the background was the highlight of our day! After our tour, we played on the swingset, shot a few hoops of basketball and enjoyed delish cheeseburgers and fries under their relaxing pavilion. The admission is very reasonable too! We loved our visit yesterday and will definitely visit again. Thanks for the family memories Harmony Lane!”

“Great food good prices and awesome service”

“We ordered wings and cheese bread through doordash on Saturday. We had never tried your place, but had been wanting to. We live about 15 minutes from there. Our food arrived hot and delicious and on time! We had all 3 flavors of wings and they were all amazing! And the bread and garlic knots were tasty! We will definitely be having your food again soon!”

“The food was great, the servers friendly and efficient. The steak soup is wonderful also the shrimp scampi is great.”

“10/10 would recommend hands-down! I tried their sugar. Cookie latte added vanilla, and I have to say it was amazing even got one of the blueberry muffins, which was super super fluffy and very delicious. I will say when I am back in town again I will be stopping by for a coffee.”

“We stopped by for a drink & to check out the menu. The salsa was so good we ended up ordering an appetizer, & then mixed fajitas to take home with us for dinner. Pleasantly surprised that our tab was very reasonable, and our server was wonderful.”

“Small and quiet little ice cream shop with SOOO many options! We stumbled upon this place today while traveling and it was wonderful. They have lots of choices for regular ice cream but we enjoyed their homemade mango sorbet, fresh pineapple aqua Fresca, and street corn! Loved every bite! And I wish I got his name but their employee working today was so sweet and informative of all the questions we asked. He was wonderful. Thank you for the highlight of our travels today:)”

“Great food, better people! Best cheese dip in town. We love eating here with our daughter, always a friendly environment!”

“We had our employee lunch today and had delicious lunches. We enjoyed a little of everything between all of us. My favorite was the honey Sammy, pasta salad & strawberry pretzel salad. Everything was so delicious and freshly prepared!”

“Great food. and the shakes were amazing!”

“Great "meat and three"; excellent desserts. Usually super busy Thursday thru Saturday at the dinner hour but I've never heard anyone complain about the wait. Informal, family atmosphere with 4-top booths & tables for seating. Servers are frlendly and provide prompt service. If you like " county cooking " and don't want to do it yourself, try them, you won't be disappointed!”

“Great food! Definitely recommend 🙂”

“Got breakfast and it was less then good. Bacon was burnt along with biscuits so bad I had yo throw one away. My Omelette was okay but I have had better.. Hoping the cook was just having a bad day. Maybe their dinners are better. But definitely won't get breakfast from there again”

“When I walked in I felt welcomed. I knew I wanted a burrito. Told the gentleman you pick your favorite and I'll eat it. To say that it was delicious would be an understatement. If you are in the area you must get food here”

“Super fun place to go on a Saturday night for a beer, live music, and some food. It’s a great atmosphere”

“I've been coming to visit my mother since she moved to Smithville 12 years ago, and unfortunately only just got to try this place today. She's been holding out the best Chinese food on me!! I suggested we grab some lunch specials to save for dinner later, and even microwaved the food is absolutely delicious!!

I got chicken with broccoli, and she got shrimp with vegetables. The sauce has such a wonderful flavor, the vegetables and meats were cooked perfectly, and the portions were just right. My only wish would be to have something in the fried rice, like some vegetables or small pieces of pork. But even without it, it was still really tasty. I'm bummed she's moving out of town so I can't come here again!”

“Been driving past Lipstick Pig for years but finally stopped in today. Great food in a small place that's easy to miss. I had the smoked pulled pork large sandwich with mild sauce, small mac and cheese, and banana pudding, with a bottled A&W root beer. Will come back!”

“Great little marina bar and resturant. Appatizers ae great for snacking. The fried pickles are the best my wife and I have had. Fried green tomatoes were well done. My son had the catfish sandwich and loved it. For a picky eater that is a huge compliment. Fish was light and buttery. The slaw is creamy and not the vinegar based recipe.”

“This place is certainly a hidden gem! We are mad at ourselves for not knowing they have been here for years. The food is the most authentic we have tasted outside of Mexico. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. But most important, everything we had was delicious. Our server, Samantha, was super attentive. We sat outside on their deck on a perfect spring evening. We will be back very soon!”

“For cheap pizza HOT AND FRESH, it’s great… Later on, tomorrow or COLD, skip it and have ur mom make u a tuna sandwich, it will be better !!”

“Always fresh food with great servers. Highly recommend Philly cheese steak 😋❤️”

“My first job. I love DQ. Good food. Good service. Thanks”

“THIS WAS POSTED BY A FRIEND ON FB AND COMMENTED ON SEVERAL TIMES. ITS ALL TRUE AND THIS PLACE REALLY DOES SUCK.....Hey I just wanted to give everybody a heads up to steer clear of Arby's we just left there had a almost $40 order and we left went to quick and easy and started to hand the kids their food the chicken was cold in the sliders the Buns were hard as bricks my French dip was so soggy it was coming through the paper so I called to tell them that I'd like to have a refund and to bring the food back and she told us there was no way the chicken was cold because she cooked it herself which it doesn't matter who cooked it it was still cold we never were given a receipt at the window we were given $3.06 of change without a receipt so whenever we took the food back we realized there wasn't a receipt and she flung her arms across her chest and said well without that receipt there's nothing we can do about it mind you her employee that was rude as hell taking our order and just mad at the world that she had to tip her earbud up out of her ear did not give us the receipt so they took $40 and we had to go somewhere else and get different food just be aware folks. And it's no wonder the Lil employees has such an shifty attitude problem, because that managers was just as bad and she was scream8ng at me not letting fully explain anything to her. Said they absolutely would never not give a receipt. Ummmm. SMH.”

“this happened at the hardees in mcminnville tn I came in to get something like I always do and instead of sitting in peace a man rudely asked me "what my plan is" I come everyday and order food and use the wifi for a while I am paying customer not a tyrant you dont treat a customer like that especially when I never cause issues and bother noone do better edit: ignore the i recommend them above they changed it”

“The manager and staff on night shift on 7/23/2026 were dealing with maintenance issues and having to address rude customers for over and hour and they handled the situation phenomenally and with the best customer service.”

“Loved the pizza, but they delivered to us one time, and then said we were out of their delivery range. What's the point of advertising delivery if 3.9 miles is out of delivery range? No option for rating, but I'd give 3 stars because of mgmt.”

“Like a casino, food is ALWAYS the best, ...but the service sometimes is short, rude, OR very helpful & friendly. That LOUD square white thing on the wall by registers NEEDS to be quieted down... ABSOLUTELY approve of the music. 🙏”

“fast friendly service !!!!!!!”
