"My in laws live in Cullman and recommended this place. We were visiting and tried it out for lunch today. Food was good. Limited menu. I enjoyed the Nashville sweet and mild. My husband had the Cajun Club. We had the Dutchess Donut Bread Pudding for dessert. It was delicious. The service was a bit slow but our waiter did a good job. We got there around 1 and were seated right away. Right after we got there, it got crowded and packed out. The atmosphere was average for this type of establishment. We enjoyed it and will probably return at some point to try more menu items and some of their cocktails."

"Let me start by saying that it's not a place for a "quiet dinner." It's a hangout, with a bar, and good food. My wife and I both had the Pepper Crusted Strip Steak. I had the JoJo fries, and she opted for the honey brussel sprouts. Very tasty, and prepared as ordered. Afterward, we shared the butterscotch creme brulee. It was delicious, as well. Don't let the possibility that it is a little higher noise level stop you from visiting. We sat inside, but they apparently have an outdoor seating option, as well. Give it a shot!"

"Went for drinks and sat at the bar. Bartender Tori was friendly and fixed very good drinks. We will be coming back for dinner sometime because the food looked great coming out of the kitchen. They have inside seating at bar, tables with table cloths and cute outside area to dine. Nice quiet place to dine."

"We were so disappointed. We had a party of 5. Not a single one of us received a correct order. BLT salads had no bacon. We were brought a mimosa instead of the fuzzy cocktail we ordered. Cheese skillet was served with chips instead of warm Flatbread. Steak and eggs ordered medium was a frozen piece of meat served well beside cold fries. Jumbo shrimp were cold (congealed) and medium at best. We swatted flies the entire meal. i had to physically cover my drink to keep flies out of it. We paid $70 for a meal and we're going to Jimmy John's when we leave here because the bites of food we were served were pitiful."

"This was our first time here. As a self proclaimed “food snob”, I can tell you it was wonderful. The drinks were good. Atmosphere was good. Service was good. It was a very relaxing dinner. We started with the smoked chicken dip which was fantastic. The house made chips were amazing. I got the burger which is unique, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I also ordered a side of the Brussels sprouts and I would come back just for those. We couldn’t decide on dessert so my wife and I ordered a creme brûlée and a duchess donut bread pudding and if you watch Friends; Oh. My. Gawd. Wow. Can’t wait to go back. Recommend highly!!!!"
