    Easily one of my favorite restaurants. The dishes are fantastic and one-of-a-kind and the atmosphere is the same. Bacon jam burger, fried chicken and waffles or trout, it's all good!

    Our table asked for Mike, the manager, who came as we bragged on our server who was excellent.

    The food and service were excellent. However there was a broom and dustpan out in the eating area which seemed unsightly.

    Excellent "pub" food. I had an outstanding cheeseburger with fries and my partner had a cobb salad, also excellent. The fries come out hot (temperature), which is always nice. Great location immediately adjacent to Washington' residence. The best thing about the place is the service. Our server was outstanding, very attentive, quick to re-fill drinks, and to respond to requests. A very special "thank you" to the restaurant manager, Mark, who greeted us at the door and checked on us to ensure everything was going well. The level of service is rare, but always much appreciated.

    Food was good but someone else in our party said their meal (shrimp and grits) was too salty. The dining area was ok, but could have been cleaner. Serving staff was very friendly. Overall, it was a good experience.
