    What a great place to have an event. They have 2 large rooms and ours was so perfect. It had its own private bathroom, kitchen and bar. The waiter was attentive and all orders were perfect for a large crowd of 16. The FOOD ! Presentation, taste, quality, originality. Most of us ate for 2 nights. Love the noise canceling panels in the ceiling... live music in the bar didn't interfere with the rest of the restaurant and the lemon cake yall...a MUST TRY.

    Went with the wife for dinner at this new rebranded restaurant, wife had the blackened chicken pasta and I opted for the horseradish crusted sirloin, both were presented well and both had excellent flavor, I am normally a meat and potatoes kinda guy but really like the flavor profile of the pasta, had a nice zing to it, all in all a great experience.

    After all of the hype of this place I was excited for a great dinner and have to say I was quite let down! The drinks were good and the service was excellent which kept this from a 1 star review. I’d give the support staff amazing props if I could review separately. However, the food fell so flat. The French onion soup was okay but the crouton/bread in it tasted completely burnt which gave the entire soup a burnt taste. I purchased one of the most expensive entrees, the steak Susan. The “medallions” were the smallest I had ever seen, but I could let that go if the rest was good, but it wasn’t. The menu states it should have “onions and mushrooms”. I had 3-4 tiny pieces of onion, and LITERALLY, one small slice of mushroom (see photo and try to find more, I had just got the steak and cut it and not eaten anything yet). Not to mention I ordered the steaks medium-rare, and they came medium to medium-well. My wife got the filet tips and received more steak than I did! Sadly though, hers too was way over cooked. Very disappointed when spending this type of money.

    Walked in at 5:00. All the bar high tops and booths open. I was told they had reservations coming they may could put me at a small table. Could not believe that the whole place is going to fill in the time it would have taken me to eat. Very disappointed in hosts. One says I can sit at a hight top the other said I had to move. Sad response from management. ✌️ What is that. Won’t never go back.

    Our whole party enjoyed their food. I thought my Parmesean Crusted North Atlantic Whitefish with shrimp, coleslaw, and broccoli was great and would recommend it. Our waitress was wonderful, but I think another waitress would have helped the service more. I enjoyed my visit.

    I guess my hyped up expectations were too high. I've been excited to see what the combined "best of" menus of Pit Stop and Dawsons2 would look like, but the lunch menu was just a standard selection of sandwiches and salads -- no wood-fired pizza, no BBQ, no catfish. The sandwiches we ordered were good, but I had my hopes set on great.

    Great food with a reasonable price tag!! Special thanks to the 2 gentleman that basically saved a woman's life that got choked.. straight to Heimlich maneuver. Hopefully their dinners were on the house, if not they should of been..

    Pretty busy when we went but we were sat immediately. Service was great. Food came out hot. Servings were generous. We got the calamari appetizer, husband loved it (I don't eat seafood). Hubs got the ribeye with rice and broccoli. Steak was cooked perfectly as ordered. I ordered the prime rib Manhattan! It was delicious!!!!

    I really like this place and the location. I gave it a 4 star review due to a couple of things. The bar area can get extremely loud when sitting near the big table on the end. I’ve been there a handful of times and the food is good but is usually on the cooler side and I’m one of those people that love hot food. The vibe is good, the servers are super nice and we always have great service. I’ll definitely still continue to go.

    To be honest....this was place was disappointing. The decor is average at best. The wide opening sitting makes conversation difficult because of noise. The food was marginal. My steak was undercooked and tough! The meat was not high quality. I ordered an Old Fashion from the bar. It was not mixed correctly, made with really cheap bourbon. The server was friendly and attentive as was the hostess. While the decor was average, the restaurant was clean. The bathrooms were also well maintained. I may give this restaurant another try because it's local. I hesitate to recommend this restaurant when there are other places in local to get an enjoyable meal.

    First time trying since Pit Stop was here. My husband and Dad ordered the fried chicken special and both agreed it was overcooked and wouldn't order again. I ordered the prime rib wellington and it was clear it had sat while waiting for their chicken to be overdone. It was dry and tasteless and the broccoli, which I didn't order as a side, was ice cold. Our server was gracious and kind, so probably would give them another shot.

    Pretty good. Had Bang Bang shrimp to start. We had a breaded tenderloin and onion rings and a prime rib Manhattan.

    It's always a little slow in there. Nice atmosphere in the bar area. Sandwiches are ok. Dinner meals are all good. Tony's Favorite is a very good grilled chicken dinner that i have eaten several times.

    Near perfect cook on my steak. Horseradish could have been a little fresher to add some more brightness. Staff seemed a little overwhelmed, but otherwise great job

  • 5/5 Mike C. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best meals I've had in a while. The burger was juicy and delicious. The French onion soup was great as well. My wife's manhattan looked great as well. Very pleased with our visit overall

    The ribeye was prepared perfectly and was the absolute best steak I've ever been served! The staff is always friendly and the 30 minute wait was well worth it.

  • 3/5 Alaina L. 1 year ago on Google
    Went last night for dinner. No wait and was immediately seated at a table and greeted almost instantly. I ordered the catfish fillets with sweet potatoes and coleslaw. The fish was cooked pretty good actually and the tartar sauce was on point. I got like 4 to 5 little pieces of fish. The sweet potatoes were cold in the middle and hot on the top and edges. They were very smooth like pancake batter not MASHED and definitely microwaved. Even if they were hot I still would not have liked them. I ended up asking for a side Caesar salad instead. It had more toppings than lettuce which included tomatoes, bacon, red onions, parmesan cheese, and croutons. The was lettuce was iceberg, not romaine. They forgot the coleslaw and I didn’t bother to mention it to the waitress. Not her fault, she was nice and friendly. Would I go back probably. Maybe to give them another try but 5/10 for sure.

    The mix was off in the soda dispenser. Otherwise food was good. Tenderloin not paper thin which I appreciate.

    $4 extra for 6 pieces of asparagus. I better learn to like broccoli. The meatloaf was good. The rolls were laid on the gravy..and no butter on the table, or served with them. Drinks were refilled prompt and server was attentive until we were ready to leave. There is no uniforms or designated clothing to identify a greeter or waitress.. so it's not clear who will be seating you..serving you. Booths and tables are avail. Bar area.

    It's now called Locales. The prior restaurant partners have parted aways but don't let that worry you. The food is still fantastic! Our waitress Savanah was a delight. She had a few table to wait on at once and she was a super star! What I love about this place is it's a locally owned establishment by people who have lived here all their life. They give to the community tenfold. The quality of any meal here has been top notch.

    I got the salad. Fresh ingredients and well balanced. The grilled chicken was kinda meh. Everyone else got fried food: tenderloin and chicken. This place has the drier dialed in. Also, live honky rink music on Thursday nights.
