    Last night we were looking for somewhere new to grab a bite. We live close by but hadn't realized the signs had changed from "coming soon" to "now open"! SO glad we stopped in!
    Menu is diverse with everything from pizza to pasta to comfort foods like meatloaf and pork chops. Prices can't be beat. We split a pizza to try it and it was really good. For $5 you couldn't beat it!
    I opted for the Karpen Island burger and fries. It was delicious. My other half went with broiled tilapia which was also really good. We ordered pretty late so we didn't want to hold them up by ordering dessert... but the choices were super tempting!
    The little outside seating area was perfect, and the decor inside is well done.
    We will likely be here a lot!

    Gave this place a try the other day.

    Decor is new and looks okay, but the sound treatment is awful with a lot of echo. With only 5-6 tables filled, the place was too loud to have a conversation in.

    Menu is extensive and looks good.

    Service was slow and we didn't get drinks refilled at all.

    Food was acceptable for the price, but orders came out randomly and some items were cold. Fried zucchini appetizers were raw and uncooked on the inside.

    It has potential, hopefully they improve.

    The place is still new, so it has a bit of work to do before I could really consider a revisit. This review may get updated if I return in a few months or so.

    The staff is very nice and friendly, our server was injured, but she was doing the best she could and was super friendly. The time it took to order our meal and have it brought to us was faster than one would expect, but being newer they may have also had some things already going to gain that "new place trust." The main dish was pretty good, but their french fries were more like cardboard. My wife noted that they tasted cold and 'left out', and since I had not tried them yet I ate a few. They were pretty dry and tasted like cardboard for sure. As I was talking about the terrible fries, the waitress overheard and offered to bring 'fresh ones' out and I happily accepted. The new fries came out in mere seconds and I was told they were "fresh out of the fryer". While they were a little better, they were still as bad once they cooled down after 30 seconds. I really do have to recommend avoiding their fries and going with another option if this is what they offer here.

    The price for 3 to eat was pretty average, the seating was comfortable, but it did feel like I was eating inside of a Publix.... which was an odd way of putting it. I'd be weary about looking at the 5-star reviews of a new place for a while longer as they will need to work out some kinks.

    Well this was our first experience wanted to try something new. The decor was very well done,and cute place with patio. Menu was great,with lots of options for what you are in the mood for. I ordered the Beef Tips with Mushrooms in wine sauce and ordered Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans.  The Beef Tips were cooked perfect,and really good along with the potatoes. The Green Beans however were not my thing. Cooked in a Greek Style sauce. I just did not care for them. Our waitress who was very friendly and helpful came over and I told her I did not like them. I asked if they could be switched to something different. She was happy to do so and took care of this rather quickly. She brought me the vegetable medley I asked for and this was much better.
    I am very picky with my Sweet Tea being I make it fresh at home. The Tea at first was okay ,but when pitcher was brought to refill for my husband it tasted like it had been sitting out too long.
    He had ordered the chicken bacon and Swiss club. He said it was good but tasted too salty. He told this to the waitress she said it may be the blackened meat,but he had ate blackened before that did not taste this way. We think could have been the chicken marinade possibly. She apologized for this,but he did eat it all. We were too full to go for dessert. All staff seemed very friendly and already learning there customers. I definitely will go back,and try again. Would like to try the breakfast as well. Prices were great!

    The sign near the street changed from coming soon to now open so decided to give it a try. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the decor is nice and modern. My meal was very good. I ordered the meatloaf Wednesday special and it as well as the sides tasted homemade. Good portion sizes too. Overall very pleased and will be returning.

    My only negative is that the waitress could have been more attentive and shown a sense of urgency.
