"That was my first trip, so I wanted to be a bit more thorough in my comments. Two people with a drink were about $100 including tip. The building is very eclectic and a bit dated in its furnishings. The cabin seats were slightly lower than expected. We were helped by a very nice young lady, Tatum. She was patient and laid up my maize, etc. She was the highlight of our experience. It went down from there. Our food came out by chance; Entree and appetizers came together, then our salads came last. I ordered a steak, medium rare, but it was rarer and not rested. The food was brought by another person and we were never asked about any steak sauce or if the steaks were properly cooked. We wanted to see a manager, but we never got an answer. Finally, Tatum came and asked how everything was, but we were basically done. So, no great experience."

"Bigham's Smokehouse was excellent from the moment we walked in. It smelled delicious and we were helped by friendly staff members as soon as we were ready. All the meats we tried (brisket, pulled pork, sausage, and turkey) were juicy and tender and they also nailed the sides (traditional potato salad, mac n cheese) and Frito Pie (topped with brisket, beans, and cheese). There was plenty of seating on the Sunday evening that we dined here. They also have fountain Diet Dr. Pepper, an unexpected perk!"

"Smoothie King is a great spot with friendly staff and delicious drinks at a reasonable price. They offer a variety of healthy options that are visually appealing. Although the drinks I've tried weren't my absolute favorite, they were still good. I plan on returning to try more and see if I can find something that suits my taste. The location is convenient, the staff is welcoming, and the selection of drinks is extensive. It's worth visiting a few times to see if you can find a drink you love. I'll be back for promotions and to hopefully find my perfect drink."

"Visited for the wine tasting and brunch, but was a little skeptical due to some reviews I had seen. We were blown away. The ambience is absolutely wonderful. Even when busy, the space feels airy. The musician they had really understood how to add to the vibe rather than take away from the experience. Loved him. Our server was wonderfully attentive and knew a bit about the wines. He had great suggestions. We ordered the chicken and waffle, cheesy grits, sausage, bacon, French toast and some kind of a spicy honey pizza. While nothing was life changing, everything was well made and beautiful... Just a bit overpriced. We ended up buying a bottle of Banna Sue as well, surprising us as we're usually red wine drinkers. The thing that bugs me most about this place is the upcharge for paying with a card. At such a nice place with prices that are already hard to swallow, the surcharge feels greedy. For our ticket of around $100, our additional charge was $4. So it's not even about the price... Like I said, it just feels like you're being nickel and dimed at yet another place when your ticket comes and you're faced with tax, tip, high prices and a surcharge for paying with a card vs cash. (And even if you tell your server in advance that you'll be paying with cash, check your ticket because we were still charged that extra amount and had to request it be taken off. But that's the only thing I can complain about at all and it's a bit nitpicky. Everything else was lovely! Definitely recommend."
