Came for a birthday dinner. The staff were nice, but honestly, the portions felt a bit small for the price. My main dish was tasty, but I was still a little hungry afterwards. The kids enjoyed the cooking show though.

The upstairs bar is so cool, built into an old VW truck. It&rsquo;s a really fun spot to hang out and have a drink. The whole place has this laid-back, retro feel that I&rsquo;m into. Food was good too!

The fish tacos here are the real deal. Fresh mahi-mahi, crispy shell, and that cilantro-lime crema is spot on. A bit pricey for two, but the flavor is all there.

Been coming here for years, and the service is always this good. Our server today was on top of everything, refills without asking, really helpful with the menu. Makes a group lunch feel easy. That consistency is why I keep coming back.

The skirt steak was fantastic, and the chili cheddar grits were a standout. So many interesting options, makes it hard to choose!

The container setup is really fun and different. I liked the vibe, super casual and relaxed. Saw a lot of people from the neighborhood hanging out, which is always a good sign.

Gabby was super friendly, waving to our baby and all. She made sure the pizza had extra pickles, just how we like it. Checked on us a few times without being over the top.

The Detroit-style pizza was pretty good. The crust had a nice crunch on the edges and a chewy center. The classic pepperoni was solid. It did take a little while to come out, though.

Cozy spot, perfect for a quiet dinner. The limited seating adds to the charm, but it fills up fast. Had a lovely Pinot Noir with the duck&mdash;the pairing was spot on. Book ahead, especially for weekends.

Loved the outdoor seating here on a sunny afternoon. The vibe is so chill, perfect for a glass of wine and their charcuterie board. The staff really know their stuff and gave a solid recommendation.

The blackened mahi sandwich was pretty good. I like that they have some healthier choices. Chris, the owner, was nice enough to give us a quick tour of the place. It&#39;s got a few different themed sections, which is a fun touch.

Huge portions, that&#39;s for sure. Got the table-side guacamole, worth the wait. Menu is massive, easy to find something quick. Chips and salsa were solid. Good for a fast lunch.

Tried the chicken mac and cheese for the first time here. The cheese sauce was super creamy and the chicken was perfectly tender. Brussels sprouts were good too, but that mac and cheese is the real star.

The Hawaiian steak tacos were a nice surprise. Just the right amount of sweet and savory. We ordered a few plates to share, which felt like the right move.

The lunch was solid. Appetizers were huge, we barely finished them. Jessica kept checking on us, even with the lunch rush. She made sure our drinks never went empty. Good spot for a filling meal.

The manager stopped by to check on us. Nice touch.

Nickolye was so on top of things even when it was packed. Made a big difference.

This pizza spot is a hidden gem. The slices are huge, and my fianc&eacute; was really happy with his calzone. Drinks are definitely priced well for the area. We&#39;ll be back for sure.

The swordfish was the standout. Perfectly cooked, tender and flaky. The flounder appetizer was also good, but the fish itself was the star. Prices felt fair for the quality.

The lunch buffet is a solid value. Good variety of dishes to sample. The attached grocery is handy for picking up spices and ingredients on the way out.

My first time trying Thai food was pretty good. The steamed chicken dumplings were nice, and I really liked the spicy chicken noodle salad. The place is clean and has a pleasant, low-key vibe. Service was sweet. We ended up wishing we&#39;d ordered a bit more.

Rebecca surprised us with a treat and a candle for our early celebration, which was so thoughtful. I really appreciated that the dessert was light and not overly sweet. The fresh berries on top were a nice touch.

Erica was our server and she was great. Super friendly, knew the menu well. Took her advice and got the Southern Smash Burger. It was a solid choice. Made for a good, easy lunch.

The patio is so nice for a chill evening. They had a live band playing, which really added to the vibe. It&#39;s a good, low-key spot to hang out with friends.

Leslie and Taylor were super quick and friendly even during the rush.

The Frito pie is my usual order, and it&rsquo;s pretty good. Burgers are consistently solid, too. Staff is friendly, which is nice. A decent spot for a casual bite.

The ginger lemonade here is really something. I get it every time. They have a solid drink list overall, cocktails are interesting, good wines too. It&#39;s a nice spot to just sit and have a drink.

The fajitas for two were huge, honestly could&rsquo;ve fed more than five of us. Lunch coupon was a nice surprise. Drinks kept coming without having to ask. Solid spot.

Easy parking, and the view is lovely. I really appreciated how fresh the fried shrimp tasted&mdash;the batter was light and the shrimp itself was sweet. The chips and queso were decent, but I wish there were a few more veggie options on the menu to balance things out.

Been coming here for years. The staff is consistently friendly and attentive, which is why I keep coming back. Last time, our server was especially professional and checked in just the right amount. That kind of reliable service is hard to find.
