Burgers and fries are cooked correctly about 70-75% of the time, prices are reasonable and the drinks are not watered down.
I will be returning.
Edited: added accuracy % as i keep going back and the burger that i order as mid-rare comes out anywhere from raw to well done.
I had a delicious cheese burger! And the hostess was kind enough to look for and find a seat for even though the restaurant reservations were completely sold out!! Slapnation was there and it was amazing. I was able to enjoy my meal and the band in a comfortable seat.
Food was good and portions were adequate for prices. We were a party of 4 adults and had shrimp-n-grits, a hamburger, philly cheese steak sandwich, and 8 oz sirloin. Also enjoyed artichoke dip.
Wait staff appear to be new so rather unsure of themselves and needed to leave table-side to get clarity to answer simple questions. Never did offer drink specials (we looked them up ourselves online).
Hot humid day so nearly no one was seated outdoors. Place was pretty full inside by 7pm. We didn't have to wait to be seated and no we didn't have reservations. That was convenient, then again it was Thursday night.
Great location, pretty environment, lovely server, but when we went - all the draft beers tasted nasty. I think the lines didn’t get clean enough so it tasted like many beers with different flavors in one beer. Also could use some love in the bathrooms seeing as some of the door knobs were missing and it needed a good clean. Didn’t get to try the food though - so not a complete review!
Ate here twice last week. Each time I was quickly seated and asked for my drink order. The brown ale was near perfect on first taste so I stuck with that both times. I particularly enjoyed the crab bisque, so nicely balanced with big chucks of delicious crab. The crab cakes were also just right.
