Our server Mike was one of a kind! He was very attentive, so funny, and one of the best servers we have ever had. He was so nice when we asked him for tips on where to go in the Smokies. We couldn’t have had...a better 12 year wedding anniversary breakfast. Thanks Mike, you are the real MVP.More

This food is AMAZING. We are from the south and already know how to cook and are quick to judge! The fried catfish, fried chicken, collard greens, macaroni and cheese, and candied yams are TOP NOTCH!!!! Besides the food, our server Mike was the absolute...best! He is the true example of southern hospitality!! He loves his job and his customers and it shows!!More

Food was very good and service was great! Love the family style dining and options. It has a great view of the island shops and wandering around the Paula dean store while we waited for a table was nice.

Mike was a fantastic server, super attentive with all 9 of us there feeling included and, most importantly, well-fed! Chicken, pot roast, macaroni, mashed potatoes were all to die for. Of particular stand out were the green beans and, oh my goodness, the biscuits. Seriously,...these things are the best biscuits I've ever had the pleasure of eating. Cheesy, buttery goodness.More
