Everything was fantastic! We sat at the bar for dinner and all the staff was knowledgeable about the menu and the area. We had the chicken biscuits to start. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the jam was to die for! We both had the burger with pimento cheese. Luckily we had some left over so we could it enjoy it the next day. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Hendersonville

The bloody mary bar is lack luster and both bloody mary mixes are extremely spicy. I like spicy food but at least one of the mixes needs to be at least palatable without burning your stomach. Food did take quite a while and they were not busy. It was 11:30am on a Sunday. The music level was pretty high
