My cousin and I usually frequent “The Shoe” on a Wednesday afternoon. Our waitress is generally Olivia, but occasionally we have someone else. I have to say they are all so nice, friendly, amiable. They make dining there enjoyable. But we love Olivia !

I dined here Monday night with a few friends and Stephanie waited on. She was very friendly, attentive and prompt with checking in on us. I ordered the pulled pork bbq dinner and it was delicious. Plenty of leftovers and Stephanie grabbed us all boxes for out leftovers. Definitely would come here again and recommend Stephanie!

I went here for the first time tonight for dinner. The service was excellent and they had live music playing. I ordered the “Award winning BBQ” BBQ Half Chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and skillet Mac n cheese. Everything was perfectly seasoned and tasted delicious. Definitely recommend the skillet Mac n cheese. The BBQ sauce was also really good so I asked for some to take home.

This place has a very nice seating area that is open to the outside on two sides. The food, brews and service are always great. Decent draft beer selection. I come here whenever I am in the area, which means after golf. I had lettuce wraps today – a very tasty, light lunch.

Decent grill restaurant, the food was, a little bit overcooked, ok, but nothing out of the ordinary.

The food was really good. We got the ribs which were Juicy and tasty and the salmon which was also delicious. We also enjoyed the corn bread. The staff was young but really sweet and really attentive. The ambiance is beautiful and inviting.

I’m a little bit disappointed on the French Dip, Small portion, lack of roast beef and the Au’ Jus was more like beef bullion broth. The Garden salad was very good (I know just a salad). Everyone else in the party seemed to enjoy theirs, but for me not so much!

No place better than Mondays at The Shoe!!! Jackie is amazing she makes everyone feel like regular!! No matter how busy she is everyone still gets a smile, and she checks in to make sure everything is ok! You can absolutely tell that people come here because they know she’ll be here! Get the nachos and add the pulled pork!!
