While it was a little pricy, it was absolutely worth it. The quality was so good and they had house made gluten free bagels, which is a dream as someone who doesn't eat gluten. Plus my chai was amazing. Very beautiful spot and the workers had great energy.

Really enjoyed the food and beer. Wings, burgers, and Korean Pork bowl were all delicious. They also have a very good gluten free menu. Highly recommend.

Service was top notch and the staff was super great and knowledgeable - had no problem helping me figure out what on the menu I could eat (no gluten). Their drinks are FANTASTIC. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming and it's set up so you're comfortable no matter what room you're in.

Nice family restaurant. Staff is very friendly and accommodating to our requests for gluten-free meals. The half pound cheeseburger was very good.

We had an absolutely delicious meal here. I had the shrimp and grits and added a side of hush puppies. Both the meal and the hush puppies were the best I’ve had. I hate it when shrimp and grits are really spicy, and that was not the case here. The gravy was perfect. I also loved the hush puppies - they were warm and crisp and flavorful. And I’ve had a lot of hush puppies in my lifetime. My husband also really enjoyed his fried oysters. He got the small appetizer size and added fries and he was stuffed. Also loved the tea in mason jars. We were able to sit next to the creek, which was a nice experience. Our waitress was so friendly and helpful - really liked her. Overall. a top notch experience! I added a photo of the gluten-free menu, which is quite extensive. We didn’t need it, but have family we plan to bring back that will be happy about all the choices.
