I have never experienced a place like this! The atmosphere is really quirky and fun. My favorite is the Cowfish Bento Box which is a mix of a burger and sushi. It's the perfect dish for your first time going. The place is super fun and great to go to with friends. This is also a great place to take kids!

My husband and I ate here for the first time for dinner last weekend. To start the meal we ordered the hush puppies, I got a Bloody Mary, and he a beer. The hush puppies were great, especially when paired with the pimento cheese and bacon jam. The Bloody Mary was simply fantastic. For our meal, we both had the El Guapo with truffle fries. Iâm not a huge fan of chorizo but the burger was very good (husband says excellent) and the truffle fries were delicious. Our server was friendly and efficient through the entire meal, making it a great experience overall. We didnât order dessert in the moment but looking back I wish we had...they sounded delicious!

7. Jack Browns Burger & Beer Joint
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By gdt655
If you just drove by the building, you probably wouldn't stop and go in! But you'd be missing the best hamburger you every ate. Great food, limited menu, fun, basic environment! Jack Brown's is comfortable, friendly, and food is delicious. Burgers, fries and beer. They have a burger menu with explanation of each burger, and that's what you choose from. That's what you get! No build your own burger. If you don't want something described, you take it off when served. From plain cheese burgers to excellent gourmet burgers, but limited offerings. You add mustard or ketchup. Outstanding fries. The small room is very eclectic and fun. Lights strung from wall to wall. Go early....gets crowded quickly. Worth the wait. Best homemade burger you'll ever have and ingredients and buns are fresh. You want a burger?.........don't miss this place! And craft beers!

We visited Village Tavern simply because friends recommended it. We ordered the overpriced ($16) Hot Crab Dip and it was awful! The "crab" used must have been really old because it was extremely "fishy!" I ordered the Spaghetti Squash dish and it was not pleasing at all. No seasoning is used to create this dish! It is stated as being served with a plum tomato sauce, but the word "sauce" should not be used to describe it. The sauce was non-existent! The menu also states it is served with pine nuts. If "3" qualifies, as part of the dish, then so be it! It was all I could do to endure eating about half the portion. I am reluctant to complain and return a dish when dining with friends, so chose not to say anything. We asked for the complimentary bread, but it wasn't worth the calories. It was stale and barely warm! Good thing it was "complimentary!" Left with a $56 bill and a frown on my face!

Some of the best thin crust pizza this side of NYC! It is delicious, and all the toppings you could ever want......or just cheese and delicious house-made sauce. Also, their wings are to die for! Meaty, moist and delicious. Craft beers available, indoor and outdoor seating, easy parking, great relaxed, friendly atmosphere and outstanding staff. If you want pizza....you found it! Sice Stone Pizza & Brew is the place!

We picked a place for lunch with top reviews since we were in town. I was sold with the pimento. I ordered the hot dog with ham, pimento and fried pickles while my husband ordered the paramount burger. It's a big burger with eggs, patties, fried risotto, etc. We also got a basket of fries. The thing I liked most was the antibiotic, free range chicken, and good quality ingredients. The menu isnt huge but everything sounded good. The pimento was really good. But it didn't have a pot on the hot dog. So I asked the waitress and she was so nice and brought me a small dish of it. (Perfect amount). My husband enjoyed his food and I did too. It was so so good. We will definitely come back!

SAW's was recommended to us by hotel staff. Our server was excellent. We started with fried green tomatoes which were delicious. Our servicer made a recommendation which we ordered. We had the pork and greens and grilled catfish and greens. Both were excellent and packed with flavor. This place has a casual atmosphere and great food. You won't be disappointed.

Visited here after hot day at the Zoo when daughter picked it- The server Michelle was great! The chicken salad and pimento with crackers was wonderful. Loved the home made âcrackersâ. The patty melt was a bit on the dry side and needed something as far as seasoning. The kids grilled cheese was very good and had plenty of cheese. Would definitely go again if in area - just know there are only a very few Parking spots but parking on street.
