“My Grandfather and I stopped by this restaurant around 2 in the afternoon. We live just down the road and had been curious about the new establishment that had graced our little town for a while now. We heard good things from some friends of ours and decided to check it out after shopping one day. The building, which had been in poor repair from the previous owners, had been fully fixed and refurbished to the point it was practically unrecognizable. In a good way, of course. Everything was cleaned. The walls were painted, the floor replaced and the furniture changed to fit the new style. The ambience of the restaurant was comfortable. It gave off the feeling of a place to relax after a long day or to hangout and catch up with friends and family. The staff were friendly and sociable without being overbearing and were quite competent at their jobs. The wait time for our food was reasonable and the prices were great for the food we were getting. Which brings us to the most important part of the review. The food. And let me tell you the food here is AMAZING. I ordered meatloaf myself which came with a side (I got a salad) and a slice of cornbread. My Grandfather got the All American burger and a side of fries. The burger was thick and juicy, tipping the scale at a half a pound and was thoroughly smoked all the way through. The fries were thin, but long and wide, well salted and crisp as could be. The meatloaf was equally smoked and juicy, covered in a sauce that made the whole thing melt in your mouth. And the cornbread. Oh the cornbread. It was perfectly baked. Just enough sweetness to be pleasant and a soft, fluffy inner texture that nearly had me mistaking it for cake. All in all Brackens is a wonderful restaurant that I highly advise anyone in the area to check out. Personally, my Grandfather and I plan to make many return trips and I encourage anyone else to do the same. You won’t regret it.”
