My 10 friends and I came out to Blaine for a cabin trip and decided to go out to dinner our first night. About a 40 minute drive from our cabin to the restaurant. The staff was very friendly and took very good care of us. I got the catfish taco with the Smokehouse Burger. I was amazed i got the burger rare, when I didn't tell them how I wanted it cooked... I usually get it cooked rare. Our group gave our waitress a very generous tip. Compliments to the cooks and waiting staff. One friend said he'd go back every night on our trip.

We shared the catfish nuggets/hushpuppies, with sides loaded potato salad and baked beans—all yummy. Wonderful cornmeal breading in the catfish, and tasty tartar sauce. For dessert we shared a slice of cheesecake with blackberry topping—delicious! Server was attentive and friendly. Great lunch experience!

Fantastic service and delicious food! We will be back often. The Buffalo Mac-n-cheese was out of this world! I would recommend it to anyone.

Cannot express how genuinely friendly they are. Quickly seated, drinks, order taken, food arrived, refills, paid and tipped! Loved the brisket and the collard greens. The pulled chicken already had sauce on it. Prefer just smoked, and can also try different sauces. Good music level. They have Pepsi products!
