Reviews
"I absolutely love the food but the chairs and bar stools are the worst. I would give 5 stars if they had more comfortable seating. Fast and friendly service too. I didn't like that the red dye on the to go paper transfered onto my to go order. The cod is perfectly cooked! The fries are some of the best I have ever had. The slaw is sour for my taste. The black bean burger was cook perfectly and was absolutely delicious! If you haven't been all I can say is go....go now!"
"Came in the mid afternoon on a weekend, not too busy. Nice burger, well cooked. Also got fried pickles, pretty good stuff."
"The first time my wife and I went the food was great, went last night the ingredients listed on menu was not what we got and it taken almost 1hr to get our food. Her grits had chicken not sausage, my shrimp tacos did not have Pico. Very disappointed I was hoping this was a turning point of good dining in Bedford but $90 and not got get what we paid for. The service was great but when asked about the grits they passed it off like nothing and said sorry. Not going back if you can't do better! To many other places to eat with great food every time if you want to be big act big!"
"The wife and I went in for dinner on a Tuesday. The atmosphere is nice and appears to be new. There is a bar on one half and restaurant seating on the other. We did not enjoy any alcoholic beverages with this meal, but they appeared to have many options. My wife chose the blackened chicken taco. It came with fries and hush puppies. She upgraded her fries to the Voodoo style. It had pulled pork, BBQ sauce, house made Queso, jalapeños, and black olives. The taco was stuffed with meat and was very filling. I had the fried shrimp basket. It came with 5 super jumbo breaded shrimp, coleslaw, and fries. I upgraded mine to Voodoo also. The coleslaw was made creamy and tasted great with the red cabbage. I would suggest the fry upgrade. They were tasty. The shrimp was good, but lacked any flavor zing to the breading. They were out of cocktail sauce. The waitress offered some alternatives but opted for none. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. So, if you are in Bedford I would give them a try. We will be back!"
"Excellent manager. Much improved from the court room."
