I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! It was recommended by a friend, and I was impressed right from the start. The restaurant, formerly an old train station, has ample parking space, and the service was exceptional. The ambiance was delightful, with each table adorned with a small candle. Our order included Fried Crab Claws, Chicken Strips Platter, Chicken Pasta, Baby Back Ribs (one rack), and Fried Seafood Platter. Every dish had the perfect amount of cheese, the fish fillet was wonderfully crispy, and the pasta had the right texture. The only downside was the slow food delivery and slightly delayed plate clearing by the servers.
Amazing!! This was my first time since we don't have in Atlanta. This place was packed and now I see why???? Our server was super nice and really anticipated our every need. We didn't have to ask for straws, extra napkins, xtra butter/sour cream or even a doggy bag as the portions are big. The crab claws were melt in your mouth good along with the cocktail sauce! Even the salad was good with balsamic vinegarette dressing. I had the rack of ribs which was fall off the bone good. I ordered 1 rack, but it was huge...hanging off my plate. I enjoyed my experience and will hopefully visit the location in Augusta...a lot closer to Atlanta. Two thumbs up ???????? ????
Five stars across the board. I haven't eaten here in years but it is still just as good. Our server was amazing! … More
