Pictures will speak for itself. Group of 6 who met in the middle for a dinner (45 min each way for all of us) and food was unlike I’ve ever had at a RJs. Cajun shrimp wrap had no seasoning whatsoever and was folded in a way to where everything fell out. All I could taste was plain shrimp, lettuce and tortilla. Tomato basil pasta- again no flavor. We took it home to fix it up ourselves. The burger that was ordered was missing the half the toppings and over cooked. The two other pastas ordered had barely any meat. Food also took within minutes to come out.
They’ve gone up in prices, but down in food quality. A little disappointing since it was the place chosen for a drive for all of us. Pretty surprised to have this experience for a beautiful Thursday night dinner.
A plus side- Server was good and was sweet. Most of the employees didn’t seem to enjoy being there.

I had the blackjack ribeye and the flavor was great. But the quality of meat wasn’t. It was cooked perfectly as requested. However the steak itself was just chewy. Seemed like Select grade. Besides the expensive chewy steak the rest of the food was good. Loaded baked potato, and side salad were great. Drinks were delicious aswell.

The food was delicious and Cassie was an awesome server. You have to try the crab dip, shrimp & grits and if you like steak you should try the blackjack ribeye, absolutely full of flavor! The croissants are incredible!

Doug was amazing for our big group. Super attentive, and our drinks and food came out so fast! Great atmosphere too! We could actually hear each other! Highly recommend!

Very nice restaurant with very reasonable prices. I actually expected the prices to be higher when I walked in the door, because this restaurant was so nice inside!
I heard from a local resident that this place was good and that the burgers were excellent and I can tell you, it was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! The “fries” are actually a sliced potato, and i added cheese and bacon to mine which was an excellent choice and they were much better that regular old fries!!
I will go here again, there are so many other things on the menu that sounded awesome! I gotta try this again. Service was prompt, friendly and beautifully southern, just like the sweet tea.
(To the staff) Thanks everyone, it was great!

Wide selection of classics! Service was attentive. Reasonably priced as well. We enjoyed the chicken tender platter and ultimate chicken club sandwich. Croissants are a must as well.

They did a great job accommodating 20 of us. We were all split up but we were totally fine with that.
The food is good but the service was fantastic, considering the size of our party and how busy the place was, we still got served relatively quickly.

The food was pretty decent for the price you paid. Kaitlyn was our server, she was really nice and helpful with ordering. I got the shrimp BLT, the shrimp isn’t seasoned but the Rucker fries are pretty good.

The Croissants were the best thing we had and thank goodness we ordered those because the rest of the meal was….mediocre at best. I got the fried shrimp and was drenched in oil. The sweet tea was NOT sweet. My boyfriend got the steak sandwich and he said it lacked flavor almost completely. And his sweet potato fries were cold. Our waitress, Alison was very nice at first. But at the end she told us she would be right back with our receipt but passed our table 3 times and never gave us a receipt. We even asked another waitress if she could track down the receipt but she never showed back up either. Once Allison got the bill money she could care less which is unfortunate because she missed out on a tip, seeing as we were never given a receipt to add one. Tried it once, will only eat here again as a last resort.

Busy place and we didn’t make a reservation. Cool outside area that overlooked the canal and plenty of turtles begging for snacks. After a 30 minute wait, we were seated. Skipped the apps and ordered. Catch of the day was swordfish and it was definitely delicious! The chicken Alfredo was alright. The tuna salad and the salmon salad were great! We had to ask for our missing Ceasar salad and it was terrible. The key lime pie was disappointing.
