a week agoWe visited on 12/18/25 after driving about an hour from Fayetteville and were really excited to try this place. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. When we arrived, we were not greeted or acknowledged at all. We waited with no guidance on whether to seat ourselves or how to order, and no staff member came over to help. As first-time visitors, it was confusing and unwelcoming. Sadly, we left without being served. I hope this feedback helps improve the customer experience moving forward.

3 weeks agoFolks!!! This is the place for a fantastic meal, any time of day. My husband and I were traveling for work and this place was close by. I was just blown away by how flavorful and well prepared the meals were. Very attentive staff, service excellent and man that Fish Sandwich was bigger than my face! Literally the BEST breading on all the fried foods we had. Super clean and decorated with local passion.
