We need to have a serious conversation in this country about what a local amazing casual dining restaurant is and more importantly can be. The Local Goat gets it spot on and needs to be the bar that others strive to reach.
I’ve never had anything not good here and most things are at the top of the category. Don’t expect to just pop in here plan ahead and either make reservations or open the door at lunch. The place is always packed with tourists and locals. The price point is super reasonable based upon the volume of food.
Now to the specifics. Definitely try the deviled eggs they are the best I’ve had. The fried green tomatoes are best in season and I would suggest ordering the toppings on the side. I am hard on fried green tomatoes in general and these are top of the line. The fried fish was nicely seasoned, the coleslaw is good (put some sugar in it if you are used to sweet slaw). The simple Patriot Burger was perfection cooked just the way I ordered it. The fries were good, but a little heavy on the salt.
The lime margaritas was fresher squeezed key lime juice which was an amazing surprise.
We took our 10 (picky eater) and 6 year old. Both loved it! We all enjoyed the cheese fondue appetizer, and the waiter even brought more bread and apples out when he saw we were low. The fries were everyone's favorite side. Husband enjoyed the ribs, and the half rack was plenty. I had the sirloin, baked potato, and cheese grits. All phenomenal! Their drinks were also delicious. Get reservations a couple of weeks out!
Delicious food for the whole family, in big enough portions. Every ingredient in each meal seemed thought through carefully, because it was all really flavorful. It cost about $75 for our family of 5, and we all walked away really satisfied, so it was worth it.
The broccoli was a little lackluster compared to everything else, and one of us got overly greasy fries, but everything else was great. A cozy atmosphere, clean place (including the bathrooms), and even with a long wait we were glad we went here.
This place is AMAZING!! Great service & delicious food! We had the fried deviled eggs for the app. It was so yummy!
My main dish was the shrimp & grits- 😮💨🥵🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 with the peanut butter pie for desert. Listen…. I had to roll myself home. & I’d do it again…
Kids all ordered burgers- HUGE burgers that were filled with deliciousness. Then for desert they had cheese cake & were not disappointed.
The waitress was personable & funny. We loved her!
Only bad thing & it’s really not their fault bc they weren’t aware- but there was puke on the wall behind the toilet in the ladies room. As soon as I told my waitress she promptly had it taken care of & apologized. The rest of the establishment was in very clean condition.
Amazing burgers and amazing service! Be prepared to look for parking and wait to be seated! We were able to find a seat at the bar until our table was ready and had a few beers. The bartender was super friendly. Had a conversation with one of the kitchen staff and followed their recommendations. It's worth the drive, worth the wait.
