Portions are huge for the price. We had the pasta and couldn&#39;t finish it, so we took half home. A decent spot if you want leftovers.

Found this spot when everywhere else was packed. The breakfast sandwich was so good, and the cromuffin was a nice surprise.

The soft serve is really good, especially the strawberry twist. The portions are huge though, so maybe get a smaller size.

Dylan was super helpful when I asked about the menu. The burgers were exactly what we ordered, which is nice. The space itself is really comfortable, not too loud or crowded.

Eli was a great bartender, super attentive. The place is also really good with food allergies, which is a nice touch.

The grits were so good I had to stop and just eat them for a minute. Perfectly creamy with a little rosemary. Honestly, some of the best grits I&#39;ve ever come across.

The patio is great for families when the weather&#39;s right. Had a nice glass of ros&eacute; that went perfectly with the afternoon sun.

Solid spot for German beer. Good selection on tap. The apple strudel and Black Forest cake are the real standouts here, better than most I&#39;ve had. Food is authentic.

The French onion soup is so good, and the empanadas come with this huge fresh salad. It&#39;s the kind of place where you can just hang out and talk for hours. Perfect for catching up with friends.

Fish tacos were delicious, and the patio was so nice for dinner. Our server was really friendly and attentive, which made the whole evening feel relaxed and easy. Just a lovely spot to unwind.

The fried squash was light and crispy, a nice start. Country fried steak was solid, the potatoes had a good crust. A pleasant spot to pause on the drive and see the leaves changing. Portions felt a touch small for the price, but everything tasted fresh.

Nice spot for a warm evening. The whole neighborhood seems to hang out here. Got the beans and cheese tacos and chips with guac.

These tacos are messy and thick, really filling. Could use double tortillas though, the single layer falls apart fast.

The vegetarian poblano pepper was huge. I barely made a dent in it. Took half home for lunch the next day. For the price, you definitely get a lot of food.

Perfect spot for a quick lunch. Grabbed the fried chicken sandwich with pimento cheese. So good. The patio is chill for eating outside. Food came out fast, which is what I needed. Solid no-frills spot.

Jalape&ntilde;o hush puppies and brisket were solid. Huge portions, got me through the whole afternoon. Quick service for a lunch stop.

A little out of the way, but the deli counter is great. Grabbed a custom sandwich and some cheese to go. Parking was easy.

The server was so lovely. She suggested a wine that went perfectly with my pasta, and I ended up ordering a second glass. Her recommendations just made the whole evening flow.

Great spot for lunch by the lake. Sat on the shaded porch, the view was really nice. Had a burger, it was solid. A bit pricey for what it was, but the setting made it okay.

Richard and Mandy are great hosts. They really set the vibe. I was looking over the wine list, and Richard suggested a fantastic Pinot Noir that paired perfectly with my steak. Made the whole evening.

Seated fast on a packed Friday. Food came out quick too. Got the chicken sandwich, it was solid. Exactly what you need when you just want a quick bite and to get going. No fuss.

Had a lovely dinner here. The ingredients were so fresh, especially the greens in my salad. You could really taste the quality. A nice, light way to end the day.

The staff were super nice! They rolled this little cart around with all the sauces and brought our food right to the table. Also helped us figure out the ordering kiosk, which was a lifesaver.

The biscuits are pretty good here - huge and fluffy with a nice crispy outside. The self-serve bar with all the jams and flavored butters is a nice touch. I liked the peach rosemary spread.

Love that this place is so dog-friendly! The outdoor patio is huge, perfect for my pup. The rotating food truck smelled incredible today, had to grab something. Great spot to unwind with a beer. 🐕

The staff really makes this spot. Super friendly, they remember your name after a couple visits. Feels like a neighborhood joint. Prices are fair too, which is a nice bonus.
