★★★★☆ 4.0 Kamauri Walker · Feb 2026

My favorites of my meal were the regular sized crab cakes (appetizer) and peach cobbler (dessert- highly recommend). The ribs were seasoned and flavorful. I just like a sweet or tangy bbq sauce on mine.

French fries were great, but that’s the only positive thing I have to say. I ordered a dirty martini which came out extra dirty with extra olives. I asked for a remake and the bartender came over to ask for more specifics about how I’d like it made. I appreciate how she handled it, but it came out about half full. I would imagine that’s some sort of restriction from the cheap management, and less on her skills - the second round tasted lovely. I ordered the French dip, I love a good French dip. I SWEAR it had turkey on it, and it came out with a scary white au jus. I asked the manager (I think) what kind of meat was supposed to be on it, and he said prime rib, turns out the menu says roasted pork. I abandoned the sandwich after a couple bites. No one came around to check on the situation o

★★★★☆ 4.0 Michael Sarver · Oct 2025

Awesome place to visit at the Mills. Food was great! Issue was the wait for our food to come out. Almost an hour. Don’t ask for mayo, that took another 15 minutes. Could have been because of short kitchen staff? Gracie our waitress was great. Ed the owner chef was welcoming and appreciated. Ed was walking the floor and greeting patrons. Worth trying again, just hope the food comes quicker next time.

★★★★★ 5.0 Pauletta Broadnax · Oct 2025

I came here to celebrate my birthday. The service was fast and friendly. The food was delicious! The atmosphere was great. I saw that the have live music during certain times as well but I had a great experience and will be back.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Garrett Gosselink · Feb 2026

In a word — overrated. 45 minute wait for simple brunch orders. Food was then overcooked (see photo). Quiche was delicious and would recommend above all else. Server rarely checked in during the wait, and was slow to deliver the check after being asked. Live piano and decor were pleasant. View of falls was not as cool as I thought it might be.
