This venue really delivers on food. The burgers are high quality, the fries are always warm and fresh, and the pizza is also surprisingly good, all with a homemade feel. The staff is very attentive, keeping the drinks flowing, checking on the table constantly, in a good way, and we even got the exact table we reserved. Big thank you to the hostess for making it all work out. My only critique is the volume. As someone who goes to many live shows, spent 14 years DJing, and even plays electric guitar as a hobby, I’m not one to shy away from loud music, but this venues volume definitely exceeds those limits. This has been at several shows. Even with solid ear protection, my ears are still ringing by the time I get home. That aside, it’s a fantastic place with friendly people, great food, and reasonable prices. Worth a visit.

Booked a table for a concert night. Got to have a wonderful dinner and great drinks with friends before the show. The staff is super friendly and continued to refill our water glasses throughout the show. And our server seemed genuinely happy to hear we had a great night when the show was over.

Drinks are great but the food was really overcooked. Hopefully just a one off night.

This venue has good food which I didn’t expect. The burger and grilled cheese sandwich were delicious. We came for dinner and a show and it was nice to be able to sit and eat and have a conversation. And then the band started and it was literally 2 hrs of non stop music and dancing! Sooo much fun. Our waiter was very attentive always there with our drink order and water. It was a fabulous night with friends! The PINE MOUNTAIN LOGS were incredible! Highly recommend this venue/restaurant/bar.
