Food was amazing (as always)! Best rack of lamb I’ve ever had. Dined a bit late but everything was still superb! Service remained top-notch even though we were still sitting after advertised closing time. No rush, no pressure. Can’t wait to go back!

Hooray! Trummer’s has brought back brunch, and I couldn’t be happier! My favorite restaurant has reintroduced their Saturday and Sunday brunch, and I was lucky enough to be there for the unveiling. Everything was absolutely delicious. I had the shrimp and grits – the shrimp were tender and perfectly cooked, and Zach’s grits are to die for! Dessert was just as impressive, thanks to Amanda’s pastry magic. The beignets were crispy on the outside and pillowy-soft on the inside. The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, creating a friendly and family-like atmosphere. If you’re looking for a hidden gem in Clifton, Trummer’s will not disappoint!

Have generally enjoyed Trummer's. Service was great ! Food today was uninspiring. Nothing special on the brunch menu. Expected more. Pastry basket just OK, drinks, as usual, very good, smashburger dry, avacado toast was more tunafish tasting than anything else, salmon would have been better. Beignet's very good, sauces just plain... Too bad, makes it tough to come back when we have had hit or miss experiences...
