    Staff is incredibly kind and accommodating. We were there on Christmas Eve and a guy offered to turn the TVs onto a Christmas movie. My kinds loved it.

    Loved this place from the moment we walked through the door. Greeted by a cheery, sweet, blonde young lady who showed us to our table. Our waitress was equally warm and friendly and helped us decide what drinks and food to order and gave us wonderful suggestions. Thank you for the great service and food!

    All around perfect! The space was beautifully decorated for the holidays, and it wasn’t too crowded. When I inquired about gluten free items, our server, Sarah, was very knowledgeable and went over the entire menu with me! She listed safe items and many examples of substitutions that could be made for me to eat safely at Coal Town. I ordered the Artisan pizza on a gluten free crust and a side of duck fat fries. Everything was so delicious! Keep up the great work!

    Our first time to this restaurant and wow! Atmosphere was amazing and the food was incredible! I got the shrimp and grits and it was literally the BEST shrimp & grits I’ve ever eaten. My husband got a NY strip and collard greens. He gave 5 stars as well. Our server Mat was friendly and answered all my questions and his service was fantastic. Will definitely dine here again.
