Throughly enjoyed it! Very nice and clean. Staff was friendly, and our food came out in a timely manner. We enjoyed lunch on the covered outdoor deck with several ceiling fans to keep cool. Bison burgers are delicious. I could not make up my mind between two shrimp tacos and two fish tacos. Our waitress said she could do one of each for me. Both are equally delicious, I’ll have to do the same next time, one of each. Still can’t choose between the two. Sweet potato fries are a MUST…..DELICIOUS! Onion rings are also delicious. We will definitely eat there again.

Ate outdoors, burger was excellent. Wait staff was really good. Prices were reasonable. Good bar food and beer selection. Decent bourbon choices as well. Will be back when we’re back;)

We went here for brunch on Sunday morning. They don’t exactly have a brunch menu, but we made it work. Those bison egg rolls are amazing! The portions are large. On a nice day, sit outside! There are propane heaters when it’s cooler outside.

This is a popular and upscale place. I came on a Sunday afternoon about 3 so I didn’t have to wait. I am pretty sure it is packed at other times with a wait. I ordered a burger with krinkle fries. The burger was excellent.

Enjoying a good meal next to water is always a fun time! The menu has a nice variety from which to choice & a few unique items too. The shrimp & grits were awesome, with just enough heat not to be bland. Fish & chips were also well done and not overcooked. Definitely try the onion rings & sweet potato fries. The service was excellent.

Not recommended for anyone with Celiac Disease (or any food allergies for that matter). The staff is completely unaware of the fact that the menu states “Gluten Free and veggie options available upon request”. However- when I asked the waitress what the options were – she was quick to tell me- she had no idea. We asked the manager who then asked the kitchen staff. The answer was that I should know what I can eat more than they would. How would I possibly know what ingredients are in any of their items??? We were there for a family member’s birthday- otherwise we would’ve walked out. So- my meal ended up being a “Fresh Berry Salad” that was a bowl of yellowish iceberg lettuce, maybe one strawberry cut up and maybe 1/2 of a cucumber. Very disappointing.

Nice place to grab a quick lunch. Sweat tea is among the top five in North Carolina. The food is good and the prices aren’t bad.
