We got sat very quickly, especially for a Saturday night at rush hour! We got our appetizer super quick as well, and we chose our own steaks, which we're also super juicy and full of flavor. As always, the cheesy bacon ranch potatoes were hot and delicious. Our server, Lindsey, was very attentive and kind. The manager, Miss Rose, was also very attentive and genuinely cared about our dining experience. 10/10!!!

We cannot say enough good things about this restaurant!! The service was outstanding, and the meal was out of this world. I had the Chicken Bacon Tacos , which comes with three and a side salad. Plus the bacon cheese potatoes other side. My husband enjoyed a ribeye, veggies, and the bacon cheese potatoes. The atmosphere is modern. Clean and fun. The menu prices are quite fair for the quality and quantity. There is the Farm to Table, you choose your cut of beef on certain nights. Please vist this unique restaurant.

I have had brunch and dinner here. Brunch was 10/10. I got a livermush biscuit with egg and cheese and tots. The biscuit was AMAZING. I went back for dinner the next week and got filet mignon with fries and cheesecake. I'm not a big meat eater but it was good and I actually prefer the tots over their fries. The cheesecake was great. My biggest thing is how small and quiet and how close the tables are. I feel like whoever I'm beside is listening to whatever I say. Not really a negative thing but it bothers me some. I will definitely choose this place for brunch again.

Great food. Very fresh taste, full flavor. Great first impression. Lunch portion feels a little small for the price, but the food is top-tier so that has to be taken into consideration. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my Philly cheesesteak and Bacon & cheese taters so i look forward to trying this again soon and maybe even grabbing sometime from the butcher to take home. I do recommend.

Wonderful food!!! The filet was delicious & cooked perfectly! My husband got the ribeye, he said it was delicious! I got the peanut butter pie for dessert & wow it was so good! Our waitress was always checking on us & kept our drinks filled. We will definitely be back!

Our first time here. We try couple of appetizers we like the wings and the nachos were not bad. For dinner we had the trout, ribeye and pork bbq sandwich. Trout was good and the ribeye not bad and the pork bbq sandwich was ok. The beer was great. We Definitely Be Back!

I don’t often give 5 stars on everything, but I couldn’t find a single complaint. Food was fantastic (and not just small town fantastic), service was quick and friendly. The attached butchery was well stocked and the butcher answered the few questions I had on some of the lesser-known cuts and best ways to cook it. Atmosphere is clean and well decorated. Lots of of smaller things that made it all better that you can find out for yourself

Amazing food! Charming atmosphere with their own butcher shop. Sat outside to enjoy the live music. Chose the ribeye entree (actually got to pick it out from the case) for my meal and it was on point! Professional and friendly service.
