My wife and I had dinner here one time while spending a night on the island. We both had the pulled pork dinner. Large portions and very tender and tasty, but only luke warm. My sides were good, but my wife had a side of Brunswick Stew and she thought it tasted like it was a few days old, while... More

Casual and budget friendly dining. The shrimp Po-boy was delicious & loved that could get a BBQ side...the Bunswick stew was amazing. A great place to take family with kids. And if you need a break from seafood (don't know why) but the BBQ is a good way to mix it up.

1st night on SGI and we just wanted something casual without having to dress or drive. This is definitely casual. I heard the waitress telling another customer they were going to be remodeling soon -- definitely a good idea! It has no atmosphere at all and for their prices, atmosphere should be included. We had conch fritters as an appetizer.... More

Definitely recommend this place for omelets and pancakes! Service was fast and food was hot! Coffee was a bit steep at $2.50 a cup but like a lot of places on the island, some things are way over priced. We'll definitely be back!

While I'll say this isn't the most lively place, it definitely had the best fried shrimp on the island. A group of 5 of us ate here and everyone agreed that they had the best seafood on the trip. We were kind of taken aback when walked in. It looked like the place was a spinoff of a cracker barrel.... More

While visiting St. George in February scouting for a retreat in the fall, we tried this restaurant again, having not had just a great experience two years ago. It's changed hands, and the meal we had was clearly much different. They have a good chef there - the breakfast of crepes with blueberry and strawberry topping and whipped cream was... More

We stopped at this place while out touring on our bikes and had terrible service and food. We ordered the onion rings as an appetizer and received about 6 rings that were soggy. We were able to order a Michelob Ultra but was told they were out when we tried to order another. At the conclusion of our meal, we... More
