The little Ice house behind restaurant has nice pool tables and cheap drinks. Only ate once and was not impressed. Food took forever and they even forgot my Sons steak. Could have been the hottest place in town. Small town people only give you one chance to impress. Very nice Owner. Just needs a different approach for the opportunity to stand out. Excellent location for a great establishment. Lots of missed opportunities from unused space in back. Don't see it open much longer.

Been there twice, and no need to go back. The way I look at restaurants is, if I can't get a good lunch and service for a $30+ lunch for 2, why in the heck would I come back for a way overpriced steaks? Food nor service not very good. I was hoping, but will continue to drive to Tyler for much better meals. Good luck.

Best Bar and Bartenders in town, great drink specials and everyday deals in the ice house out back of restaurant. The carrot cake is so moist and just delicious all around. To me best fried fish in town

This is a surprise gem of a restaurant!!! Traveling through on our way back home, we stopped here for a Sunday brunch. Starting with our server, Bree, we knew this was a great choice. The service she provided was outstanding.
The brunch buffett looked amazing, and it didn't disappoint. Scott, the chef, was really friendly. He explained the buffet offerings and cooked our omelets perfectly. He even offered to keep the buffet open for us if we were going to go back for more.
From the outside you won't know how great this place is, but don't let that stop you. Go on inside, and have a really great meal!

I stayed close and ate here on a Monday. I’ll say I’d go back but here’s what I had and the pros and cons.
I had the fried fish and shrimp meal:
Pros:
Shrimp were big and fresh, very hot!
Coleslaw was good.
Hush puppies were very good.
Fish was hot
The zucchini and squash were good
Staff was friendly and accommodating.
Cons:
Fries were cold, tasted fresh made but cold
I asked what kind of fish was in this meal and was told red fish. It’s not, it’s catfish so threw me for a surprise.
Place was very open and bright. Felt like I was sitting out on a stage. It was not busy so that might make it seem so even more.
Overall very good and I’d go back. Prices seemed a little high but online with quality.
