This is my second time there and it was great. Good service, really good food. Best Brussels sprouts I've personally had. I would absolutely recommend for a good date night.

⭐️ 1 Star — Absolutely unacceptable experience! We had a reservation and were still seated at a bar table with no real service. What is the point of a reservation if you’re going to be stuck in the bar area with no server and no attention?

It took forever before anyone even came by to take drink orders. Then even longer to take our food order. After that, we waited over 30 minutes just to get a salad — which arrived without dressing — and no one ever came back to check on us.

Over an hour into the meal, two people at our table finally got their food… then the third. When I asked where mine was, the server told me they were out of carrots and “didn’t know what to do.” That was the reason my entrée was just sitting in the kitchen instead of being served. Seriously? Just bring the food and fix the side later — don’t let it die in the window.

When my “fresh catch” finally arrived (ordered medium), it was so overcooked I could barely eat it — and the missing side never showed up at all.

I asked to speak with the manager. The server said “we’re just really busy,” even though the bar area was basically empty. And the manager? Never came.

We paid and left. I would never return to this restaurant — not even for a free meal. The service was disorganized, careless, and completely unacceptable.

Our party tried 3 different meals; the smashburger, shrimp & grits and skillet chicken. All were very good! We look forward to the menu continuing to expand. Service was top notch. This place is truly a neighborhood gem!!

We popped in as a last minute dinner, and were blown away! The cocktails were delicious, the food was amazing and the service was awesome. Super friendly bar tender and server! Highly recommend! Can’t wait to go back!

Very friendly, welcoming staff. Steaks were perfect, interesting app choices. We had the Brussel sprouts, which were delicious!

I highly recommend this place. Not only is the food on point, but the atmosphere is relaxed and fun and what you want, no matter the mood. This establishment is also owned and operated by some great people and staff. I will be back, and I will be bringing people. They accommodate everyone, and it’s definitely worth giving it a shot, because I guarantee you will be hooked.

508 has been in the area for a while and just revamped their menu...I would highly recommend going for lunch or dinner! Cocktails are great (especially the walnut old fashioned) and sercive is awesome. Chris, Dan and Chelsea are so welcoming and friendly and are always willing to make your drink, food and experience worth it.

Please update the hours on your website and the advertised banner outside of your restaurant. Would have loved the experience. The staff was kind but the expectation of the restaurant being open was disappointing.

Not going to lie… we were headed to The Birch after tacos and totally forgot it was closed on Tuesdays. Must’ve been a blessing in disguise because I’m pretty sure I just found my new favorite spot! Great atmosphere! Super friendly people, great tunes and the cocktails were delicious! Had we not just eaten dinner we would’ve ordered everything on the menu! Cannot wait to get back and try some dishes! Already talking my coworkers up on a party!

An excellent find. Food was really good and creative. One of the best steaks i have had. Great value as well.

When the food finally came out it was good. My daughter’s Salmon was mushy and inedible. He gave us 30% off of the dish, should’ve comped it.

It's situated near a few bars/breweries, to include a really cool putt putt golf course (bogeys). Menu was small and limited which I'm a fan of but there wasn't anything that stood out, the burger was good, the pasta and scallops was a bit to tart/lemony, we also had the fries appetizers (can't recall the name) but it was too soggy. Again, overall a good experience but hoping for different menu options.
