    Monday Night is Fried Chicken night. Half a chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, cole slaw, and biscuits. Don’t forget the bourbon slush. Best chicken in the world.

    Why would you go to a chain restaurant when we have this local gem that grows most of the food it prepares? Our son is one of the most pickiest of all our kids yet raved about everything he ate! Phenomenal steaks with careful attention to temperature preferences, a la carte items that have a Dutch influence, and a tomato salad unlike anything I’ve had before - extraordinary. Service was outstanding and meticulous led by Savannah and Matthew. This will be our go to for this type of experience!

    Wonderful spot for a romantic birthday dinner. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and was attentive and kind. Every dish that we ordered was flavorful and filling. The portions are rather large so next time we will share more of our meal.

    Excellent food - We will definitely go back. So many things on the menu I want to try. There were 6 of us and we all loved the food. Cauliflower bites, potato skewer thing with parmesan (forget what it is called on menu), fish sandwich, teriyaki tofu all excellent. We were there during Blink so it was a very hectic evening for all, but the staff handled it well.
