This place is incredible! The food was so good, I wanted to go back again the next day I would definitely recommend the poutine and the pork burger. Also, the desserts are so good! We had the bread pudding and the brownie cheesecake. Just go! You won't regret it!

So the lamb burger was fantastic. Nothing bland about it (someone mentioned it was ultra bland maybe they had COVID or something). The bun was toasted to perfection and have the burger a crunch but the insides of the bun was still soft. Cooked perfectly. Sort of a cole slaw style topping was seasoned with some sort of aeoli. Fantastic burger

Found this establishment when looking for a place to eat after a visit to the botanical gardens. It was also necessary to have a dog friendly place as we had our pooch. We were able to sit outside with our dog and while the seating over looks the parking lot it is comfortably set back from the main road. The food was excellent! I had the fried chicken and french toast (rather decadent with bacon and peanut butter) and my wife had the pork and mac n cheese (they smoke the pork on the premises). Service was very attentive and we never felt rushed even though we arrived an hour before closing. We will be back.

Run don’t walk to this hidden little gem. The menu has something for everyone, with a wonderful selection of beers. I had the shrimp and grits and I may or may not have licked the bowl, yummmm

We ate lunch here as a family of four, plus our dog (so we sat outside). Service was friendly and helpful. We all enjoyed our food, and I was told my wife’s sandwich was one of the best she ever had, and my daughter thought the same of her chicken fingers. The burger was excellent, still juicy and pink on the inside as I asked for. The fries were great. Good beer selection.

One hell of a spot to eat, hands down the best burg I have had in the state of Virginia. Cooked to perfection. Smoky. Juicy. Whispers a sweet serenade to my southern taste buds. Salad was on the shareables menu? No way, no how am I sharing that thing with anybody lol. Sweet tea was nice, which speaks volumes more than it might seem. Most places here apparently fall short when it comes to something like a simple cup of tea. This place had other ideas, which is a welcome change of pace. I can't really think of a single complaint when it comes to this place. Food was great, staff was great, atmosphere was great. Need I say more?

Great experience! The food was delicious and looked all/mostly homemade. The wait was a tiny bit longer than I'm used to, but the food totally evened that out. I got the pork burger, which was so good! And to finish we got a grilled PB&J for dessert. If you like PB&J's, this dessert is for you!! Hope to visit again someday:)
