OMG whoever is in the mood to have their taste buds tantalized This is the spot Ok. I can't rant and rave enough over how good the food is. And the drinks! I'm going to post the pics and I'll drop all the info on the dishes my husband and I had after the photos. 😆 💕 I saved this on my maps under "Everything's delicious" My husband says we're coming back and bring Mom and Aunt next time. The atmosphere here is so smooth and mellow. It's welcoming for all ages. A wonderful dining experience. We had the chicken bites and they were tender with this just right crispy crunch...a light crunch on the outside. They were fried perfectly. Very tantalizing. I must say I could have one more of every dish. My husband and I shared a plate but the next time the chicken bites with grits is all mine with t

This place was a delightful surprise. I ordered Griff's seasonal salad, shrimp buns, pork buns, and shrimp and grits, paired perfectly with a Smithwick's Red Ale. Every dish was exceptional—bursting with flavor and beautifully executed. The server was attentive, and the food quality was outstanding. Who says you can't enjoy gourmet cuisine while I’m camping? 🙂

I posted one review already with pics but this spot is everything! I have to say it's a favorite for me and that is saying alot, because my husband takes me to all different types of restaurants all over the states. I have several great spots on my list but this is one placed at the top. There is no where that I have found a beef rib on the menu. And we were blown away about the tenderness of it. Keep up the great work! Cliff and I will surely be making a trip to Candler just to come dine here.

I’ve been meaning to go to this place for a while. Finally had an opportunity to go, firstly, I’d like to say customer service was great, very clean restaurant plenty of seating and parking As for the sandwich, it was reasonably to be priced, and the order was taken quickly and brought out to me quickly. I got a Korean style fried chicken sandwich with creamy dill and ranch on the side as well for my fries. Everything was delicious , fresh, and well worth the money. I will be back definitely, , and I will be recommending this place to my family

Frozen fries, which they charge extra for sweet potato frozen fries…. Followed by the long uncomfortable wait at a dead bar; I guess outside of tourist season things are pretty stale. Also charged for the takeout containers, labeled as “takeout supplies” but was given no utensils…. $40 - 2 burgers and fries. Frozen fries, mediocre burger. Over charged for the bag it came in… Speaks for itself. No opinion needed.
