“ I’ve only been twice but both times we had excellent service, the food I’ve had so far is very good and they actually know what medium rare is! The atmosphere is good, it’s small town feel of comfort. The cocktails are pretty good too! Pleasant to look at and taste delicious. ”
“ Food was absolutely amazing! Not only is the food great, but so is the atmosphere. Love that this historic building is getting a new life for the whole town to enjoy! Highly recommend. ”
“ Been to this brand new restaurant three times now. Have had a great experience each time. Came with my mother the first time and had a delicious ribeye (though that seems to have been a special dish). Came by myself the next two times and tried their Cajun pasta as well as their burger. All were wonderful. Service is top notch as well. This is set to become a new landmark here in King. Would highly recommend to everyone! ”
“ Went here for lunch today and it was amazing. Definitely a go to place if you’re looking for some good food in King. ”
“ The food and the service was great. I liked the vibe but we had a center table that wasn't as cool as the booth seating appears to be. The bar is nicely stocked. Addison was out server and she was fantastic. The croissants were a really unique and delicious app to order, I highly recommend. The food was incredible, some of the best cooked shrimp I've ever had in the dish I ordered. A great experience to anyone keeping up with this small town as it grows or passing through. ”
“ This is a new restaurant in King, NC, and is worth the drive from WInston-Salem. The atmosphere is pleasant and the food is fantastic! Very nice menu! ”
“ Absolutely loved our experience tonight! The staff were all very friendly especially at the bar. All of our food and drinks were delicious! We ordered a margherita flatbread, honey croissants, filet mignon with mashed potatoes & green beans, and also a Cajun pasta. So glad to have y’all close to home. Will definitely be back! ”
“ The mixed grilled veggies were superb! The whipped garlic potatoes were also superb. The flank steak had great flavor but I ended up with a bad cut of meat. The waitress was wonderful and took my meal off the bill without my even asking. ”
