★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Starry · Oct 2025

We have shown this place a lot of grace. We have gone on average of once a week for the past 6 months. There used to be patrons lined out the door everyday, but that has ended and it is easy to understand why. During the last six months or so, they have had an extremely high turnover rate with their staff. The food which used to be stellar, is going downhill steadily. The current sanitation rating is in the tank. The place is generally grungy with the tables not being properly cleaned. They make mistakes on orders regularly and the management is unwilling to compensate when they mess something up. This type of poor business practice does not inspire confidence. The last time we went there, we were served a wrong dish and had to wait an hour and a half for the other. So my date ha

We drove 70 miles there and 70 miles back home. I did not even think to do photos. Our server was very friendly helpful kept out quart mason jars full of soda and tea. I did not do legs. My better half did. Everything I ate in the bar was good. Better half said the legs were over cook not much in them. Normally she eats 3 to 4 clusters. She took out 8 to try and get the mean she normally would. A lot of the shells she crack did not have anything in them. Be both admired some stake we saw people eating. They looked good. The soup was good but watery. Salad fish shrimp other options on the bar even bbq. Sides were good. They keep it filled up. I liked the ice scream. I did not see any cones. But I normally eat mine in a bowl anyway.Glad we got there early. When we left people were waiting to

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Valerie Ervin · Oct 2025

Server was great. Basically set up to fail, she was new. Short staffed on the night we came. Maybe the owner should be there helping? Steak special wasn’t special, mine was fine but my husband had to spit out practically every bite because it was mostly gristle. The salad bar was in terrible shape. I will attach the onions and how they were just hacked and thrown in. We have been disappointed almost to the point of not coming back. First it was the Saturday Crableg cost went up as high as if we were at Captain George’s, but they don’t offer what Captain George’s offers. Then this night. We were told not to bother going but I was insisting we try it. I hated telling my husband he was right, BUT here I am🙄. I actually didn’t want to leave a review after seeing the owner’s responses to others

★★★★★ 5.0 Keisha Dula · Jan 2026

My family had a wonderful experience using the party room. Holly, our waitress was amazing, patient, and very prompt to get everything we needed. Job very well done, and we will requedt her as we have a big family and Carolina Smoke will now be our restaurant of choice. Summer behind, behind the bar was amazing as well. Drinks were on point and she was alot of fun. The food was definitely 10/10. Everyone was so happy, full, and comfortable. If I could give this restaurant 10 stars, I would.
