Prices are fair for the area. Had a solid lunch, didn&#39;t cost much. The oyster flight was a fun sampler of local picks. Good for a quick bite.

The carne con hongos was a good, solid choice. The steak was tender and seasoned just right. It was a satisfying meal, and the service was friendly and attentive. I appreciated how comfortable the booths were, too.

The hot honey chicken sandwich had a nice kick, and the chicken was really fresh. The sauce was a touch sweet for me, but I appreciated the quality ingredients. The spicy garlic wing sauce was also solid.

The breakfast and lunch plates we shared were all tasty. Staff was really kind. Love that they&rsquo;re dog-friendly&mdash;my pup got a little water bowl without us even asking.

The firecracker shrimp was so good we ordered a second round! Great spot to share plates with friends.

Been coming here for years, and the spinach dip with those warm pita chips is still the thing I order first. Just hits the spot every single time. The service is solid too&mdash;never had to ask for a refill.

The chicken banh mi wrap is really good. I find myself driving over just for it. The parmesan chips are nice too, though the wrap can be a bit messy to eat. Solid lunch spot.

The staff here is just so nice. The host remembered my name from my last visit, and our server was super helpful with the menu. It really makes you feel at home.

The A5 Wagyu strip with that garlic vinaigrette was the star. You order it by the ounce, and it was just so tender. Everything else kind of faded after that bite. A bit pricey per ounce, but you know what you&#39;re getting.

The shrimp platter was huge! Perfectly cooked sides too. The paper tablecloths with crayons kept everyone entertained.

The food here is really authentic, just like what we had in Thailand. My husband keeps saying it&#39;s the best he&#39;s found since our trip.

It&#39;s a clean, bright spot. The restrooms were surprisingly spotless too, which is nice. Food was decent, a solid choice for a quick lunch.

The fried flounder was perfectly crispy, just how I like it. Hush puppies were spot-on, not too greasy. Simple menu, but they do the basics right. Portions are decent for the price.

The blue crab hush puppies were a real standout. So light and fresh. The crab pasta was solid, too. Definitely get a reservation, though&mdash;we saw a few groups waiting.

Solid Greek food in a cozy spot. The lamb souvlaki was cooked just right, juicy and well-seasoned. A reliable choice for a straightforward, good meal.

Been coming here for years, and it&#39;s still my little secret spot. The owners remember my name every time, which is so nice. The food is always just as good as I remember.

Portions are huge for the price! Perfect for grabbing a big breakfast with friends before a busy day.

Been coming here for years. That huge old oak tree out back is the real draw. It&#39;s a nice spot to sit under on a warm evening. Gives the place a different feel than anywhere else around here.

The Valentine roll was a real highlight. They have a few solid sushi options under $10, which is nice. I paired it with a crisp, dry sake that cut through the richness perfectly. The place gets a bit loud when it&#39;s full, but the fish itself was fresh.

The German Cafe is inside the old Cotton Exchange. Got the schnitzel for a quick lunch. It came out fast and was solid. A bit pricey for the portion, but the cozy, vintage vibe is cool. Good spot if you&#39;re nearby and need a quick bite.

Tried the Brunswick stew combo for the first time. It was a huge portion for what I paid, really hit the spot on a chilly day.

Service was the highlight. Our server Cheryl was attentive without being overbearing. She knew the menu well and offered helpful suggestions. Made the whole meal run smoothly.

The steak fries are really good, especially the seasoning. Bottomless refills are a nice bonus.

The window slice is a New York moment. That char on the crust? Just right. Sat at a tiny table outside, people-watching with my pepperoni. It&#39;s simple and it hits the spot every single time.

Been coming here for years. The staff always remembers my usual order, and they&#39;re quick with refills. That kind of consistent, friendly service keeps me coming back.

The jalape&ntilde;o margarita was spot on &ndash; just the right kick of spice without losing the citrus. Bartenders know their stuff.
