We had the best experience dining here! The service was attentive and warm. I started off with the freshly squeezed grapefruit juice that was refreshing and delicious followed by fried pickles which had a crunchy batter crust outside and were juicy on the inside. The baby back ribs were excellent and the pulled pork was so good. The chicken wings had great seasoning & were delicious too
Had the smoked pork with fries, while enjoying an excellent view of the river. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you for an amazing experience! … More
A very southern restaurant and the portions are big. They have very good tator tots than French fries. The river view is great but you can have it the same sitting inside than on the deck. Food is just good but nothing really special.
