LOVE this place! Their food is extremely fresh and very good! I got the West Coast Veggie with a side of pasta salad which is 100% vegan! Richard took our order and was very nice and hilarious! The food came out within 3 minutes of us ordering. This place is such a vibe I highly recommend this!

First let’s start with the food. All the food is amazingly fresh and tasty. The bbq and especially the pepper bbq sauce is to die for.

Not our first visit to this fabulous, half-hidden lunch place in charming downtown Fernandina. We love how this place has a private courtyard away from the street.

After getting several recommendations, my wife and I decided to try it for ourselves. We were not disappointed. I had The Max, bbq sandwich with pimento cheese. I chose the mustard bbq sauce. My wife had the BLT. Both were excellent. We will be back.

First time and I really enjoyed it. The food was delicious. We ordered the roast beef, ham, turkey, bacon, and cheese sandwich, and the pulled pork with pimento cheese. The max and the monster club were the names and they were very delicious. I highly recommend. For the sides we had pasta salad and potato salad. Both were delicious. The pasta salad was one of the best pasta salads I’ve had. The dressing was very tasty. For dessert, we split a giant cookie. It was clear that everything was made in house with fresh ingredients. The service was great. The atmosphere was phenomenal. Very quaint little garden tucked away from everything else. Really pleasant. Will definitely return.

Food and atmosphere are great. Not ‘fine dining’ great, but lunchtime salad and sandwich great. Our table had shrimp salad on croissant – very fresh and delicious. Also, chicken salad on white bread (don’t judge), delicious. And the BLT on toast – it should be called a Bacon sandwich with tomato and lettuce. It was overflowing with lots of yummy crisp bacon. The key lime pie is on a shortbread-like crust. It was tart and tangy – also yummy. The Pecan pie was just delightful. The filling was interesting, almost a caramel custard flavor topped with pecans, of course.

A true little hidden gem. Got the pulled pork sandwich and the 3 rib 1/4 chicken plate. Food was great and so was the atmosphere. Staff was super kind and very helpful. A must visit if you would like a nice place to relax and enjoy some good food.

Great food. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Beautiful patio location with shade trees. Loved the Pulled Pork sandwich. Along with the Moster Club sandwich, roast beef, ham, turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato and BACON!!!!! And bonus they serve both Coca Cola and Pepsi products.

My wifes smoked turkey plate was cold. My BBQ chicken was dry. Overall, it was OK, but similar to what you’d get at a grocery store deli. Beans and slaw were good. BBQ sauce too. Not impressed for what is supposed to be a highly rated BBQ.
