Customer Reviews
Pictures will speak for itself. Group of 6 who met in the middle for a dinner (45 min each way for all of us) and food was unlike I’ve ever had at a RJs. Cajun shrimp wrap had no seasoning whatsoever and was folded in a way to where everything fell out. All I could taste was plain shrimp, lettuce and tortilla. Tomato basil pasta- again no flavor. We took it home to fix it up ourselves. The burger that was ordered was missing the half the toppings and over cooked. The two other pastas ordered had barely any meat. Food also took within minutes to come out. They’ve gone up in prices, but down in food quality. A little disappointing since it was the place chosen for a drive for all of us. Pretty surprised to have this experience for a beautiful Thursday night dinner. A plus side- Server was go
I had the blackjack ribeye and the flavor was great. But the quality of meat wasn’t. It was cooked perfectly as requested. However the steak itself was just chewy. Seemed like Select grade. Besides the expensive chewy steak the rest of the food was good. Loaded baked potato, and side salad were great. Drinks were delicious aswell.
The food was delicious and Cassie was an awesome server. You have to try the crab dip, shrimp & grits and if you like steak you should try the blackjack ribeye, absolutely full of flavor! The croissants are incredible!
Doug was amazing for our big group. Super attentive, and our drinks and food came out so fast! Great atmosphere too! We could actually hear each other! Highly recommend!
Very nice restaurant with very reasonable prices. I actually expected the prices to be higher when I walked in the door, because this restaurant was so nice inside! I heard from a local resident that this place was good and that the burgers were excellent and I can tell you, it was one of the best burgers I've ever had! The "fries" are actually a sliced potato, and i added cheese and bacon to mine which was an excellent choice and they were much better that regular old fries!! I will go here again, there are so many other things on the menu that sounded awesome! I gotta try this again. Service was prompt, friendly and beautifully southern, just like the sweet tea. (To the staff) Thanks everyone, it was great!
