Went for an early dinner so got some happy hour deals. The food was great, cocktails perfect, service awesome! I can’t have dairy and they know exactly what is in every item, and can make many items vegan. They told me every cocktail is dairy free because the bartenders have a dairy allergy too! Yay! Will be back! Really enjoyed the patio too!

Delicious! The truffled corn fritters are amazing. I had the shrimp and grits and it was fantastic. The hubs and son had the fried cod and it was also yummy. Perfectly battered and crispy. We will definitely be back. I’d love to try the brunch some time.

This dish was really the only vegan dishes I could eat here, besides a burger. I was impressed though with this dish. Simple, but so satisfying. Ingredients include MARINATED CINSOY TOFU, ALABAMA BBQ, PICKLED VEGETABLES, HERBS, and CUCUMBER. Trust whoever concocted these ingredients together. Very good!

Good food and good drinks. We went in last night and got the Truffle Corn Fritters as an appetizer, and wow. They were so good. They actually have decent enough sides that you could come in for a couple of cocktails or beers and grab a snack and be happy as a clam. Their fries are totally amazing as well. I got the Kentucky inspired Jambalaya and I was very happy. Used some of the hot sauce made by one of their bartenders as well. Good stuff! You should swing by here sometime in any facet, be it a drink and a snack or a full on meal.

What a great friendly group of people running this cozy corner bar. Food is perfect with the cocktails. They have a great happy hour and whiskey list, but it doesn’t stop there! Every day of the week is special: Bill’s Bourbon Bash Monday’s, $1 Oyster Wednesday etc. It is a great place to unwind, munch a little and enjoy classy cocktails.

Loved Rich’s. Brought my dad for a dinner because he’s a big bourbon guy. The list is endless, and he had a lot of fun perusing. The food was delicious and I was impressed by the pretty good selection of gluten free options. My dad bought a bottle of bourbon and was super excited about that. I will absolutely go back and had a great time. Our server was comically mean but everything else was so good that it didn’t hurt the experience.

EDIT…. for the most once, not twice… BUT THIRD WEDNESDAY, Random Wednesday, I’ve come in for oysters, I’ve not been able to get oysters… I’m very sad and disappointed.

Richard Tyree
The staff is great however I’ve eaten there 3 times because I believe in giving a place multiple chances. The eggs Benedict was awful, the eggs were over cooked and the English muffin was obviously microwaved. The shrimp and grits literally had no grits and 3pieces of shrimp… It’s a great atmosphere and the drinks are good. Just please don’t go there for the food.

Fantastic service, food, and beverages! This place has a really strong attention to detail while maintaining a sense of urgency to serve and engage patrons. Really impressed, the shrimp and grits were creative and delicious with local ingredients. The menu has great variation while still being concise. Cannot wait to come back!
