This is such a cute restaurant, I like the vibe it gives and my favorite thing is getting seated right away even w/o reservations. The food is totally delish!!! And drinks are well made. The servers are very courteous even tho I felt they were understaffed when I was in they made sure I was well taken care of ! And did I mention very affordable!

Good was surprisingly good

Great atmosphere and service!

Drinks and a Good Time! The architectural design of this place is very nice. We called ahead and was told we didn't need a reservation. When we arrived parking was okay but there is valet parking if you choose. There is outside seating as well but unfortunately there was a private party. Our waitress was really nice but busy so it took her a few minutes to get to us but completely understandable. For our meal we had Crab Cakes with Shells & Cheese and the Cedar Plank Salmon with Green Beans. Everything was really delicious except the green beans could have used more seasoning. The live music doesn’t start until 9pm so unfortunately we didnt get to experience that part. All in all it was a Good Time.

PROS:It was recommended to me by a friend, and it did not disappoint. We both ordered the “Let’s Jam” plates which costs around $17.50 a pop. They brought in a little bit of everything(shown in picture) and there was nothing in those plates that we didn’t love and we both got full with the amount of food we got. They also had a person performing live music in the venue on Saturday night and he was great. Idk if they have it every Saturday. Also, the food was brought out in less than 10 minutes after ordering, despite the place having close to full tables.CONS: We had the pineapple mimosas. They were good, but I wished the pineapple juice was colder since warm sweet drinks are never good. Also, when it came time to charge my card, the waitress charged my card to another table. Instead of my bill being around $50 it ended up being $120 plus. The manager came and apologized and the issue was fixed after 3 days.

As a vegetarian, I am pretty impressed with their menu. This is not a vegetarian restaurant but there are a lot of options and for brunch I was able to sample quite a few of them. The quiche is amazing and cooked to perfection. Another of my favorites was the jalapeno spoon bread. I only gave four stars because of the service. Our waitress was not very informative and we spent a lot of time reviewing menu options that were not available. Other than that we plan to revisit in the evening time to explore more of the menu. Entertainment was also pretty good, live country music on Saturday. This restaurant has a very homey, open, Texas feel.

The evening started if a bit rough as we had a large party and had to wait for majority to be there before we were seated…. People are always late lol so we ended up sitting at the bar until the rest of our party arrived….. at the bar I ordered fries and the meatballs both came out cold …. Dom our bartender got out a fresh batch (Dom you’re awesome) and they were delicious our party finally arrived I ordered the pork chop with the twice baked potatoes along with the banana pudding everything was delicious….. the banana pudding could’ve used more cookies and more layers of bananas and cookies.

Wow this place was great! Atmosphere was great. Good awesome! Christian good guy. Mr Miranda was so nice and professional! I recommend this place to anyone that lives in the area!

Late post... but this was an awesome experience. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff... We ate, drank, and sat there for hours talking. It was in December, so it was cold, but they did close the large patio doors after a while. Pretty much everything was delicious, and I would definitely go back again.

Slow service, Hamburger and chips took way to long ! Not cooked as I asked! I will not send anything back to be redone as I don't do that. Before Anyone Attacks me, straight out heads up place was less than Half full (not even close to half full) with plenty of Staff on hand! I don't just complain without being really disappointed in a food establishment as I understand you can't make everyone happy every time but I asked for well done (half done is what I got attached photo not sure what this is called) not close enough for me. Meal was paid for as I don't like staff or anyone else losing money(I paid because I Didn't get up and leave immediately, I believe if you eat more than 1 bite You should pay or 1 bite and give them opportunity to replace it )I usually eat all or most of my food as picture shows I didn't finish that ( as I stated before I don't send food back, I ate what I could as I had to get back to work) Prices were Fair and not overpriced by no means and they were friendly people, it's just not for me! Please note I don't live in this area of town so I could have ordered Wrong(not sure how but I do make mistakes, well done I thought Meant Fully cooked no pink), Really nice place to get a meal with Great atmosphere again just not for me. Anyone who knows me knows I Rarely leave food or drink unfinished, tea was some kind of flavor I was not sure of, didn't finish that either , just asked for iced sweet tea. Try this place for yourself as This is My opinion and not trying to discourage Anyone from going here, I did like the location, people and atmosphere( nice break from the hustle and bustle of life), I do Recommend You make sure you confirm You understand the Way you order your food prepared! Can't say this Enough I Really enjoyed the atmosphere AWESOME break in the middle of the day (lunch time) I may try them again in the future if I do I will post it!
