Great spot and very cool space with heated seating on an outdoor (enclosed) patio. Very nice on a chilly evening.Unfortunately, we found the food to be fairly bland (two different sandwiches) and the portions quite small (the ravioli special came with 5 total medium-sized raviolis).A member of our group never got their drink, despite us asking three different times & multiple staff members.Perhaps it was just an off night but I can’t say I’m interested in returning.

Great food and drinks! Everyone was so nice and made us feel right at home. Hush puppies were yummy and the draft list was great.

Came her before a concert and the only downside was how crowded it was (which I guess is a good thing for the business). Excellent bartenders, good to really good food, quick service and a casual space where you can really relax - kinda between a beer garden and a low-key restaurant.

DOG FRIENDLY!!! We took the dogs with us and they were given each their own bowl of water. I had eggplant parmigiana with homemade spaghetti and sauce made with lots of fresh garlic. Yummy! My BFF had a bacon cheeseburger with fried green tomatoes. My drink was their special watermelon tea which was delicious. Parking cost $10.00.

Random stop as I was traveling through North Carolina. The atmosphere was really cool in this place, fun and vibrant. I was with family, and we ordered the Szechuan Wings, a Ruben, and a Cheese Burger. For drinks, I tried the Epp River Chocolate Nitro Stout 😋Family had Sangria 😋and a soda.The drinks were great and the burger was delicious. The wings and Ruben were great to look at, but just average taste. Not terrible, but not fantastic either. The fries were good as well.
