There was this guy, Dave, he used to work here… he pestered and begged to have a reuben on the menu. We finally caved and he grilled up some rye bread, sauerkraut and corned beef. Then added melty Swiss and he crafted a Russian dressing that was so outstanding that we had to name this sandwich after him.

Nicest bartender ever❤️ Fried green tomato salad super yummy and the pimento cheese app too!! Live jazz in the background. Great place!!!!!
Wife had the fried green tomato salad and I had the French toast breakfast with bacon potatoes and fruit, we finished with a huge slice of key lime pie. We loved this place. The food and staff were great. Definitely a cool place to visit especially if you love Dave Matthews band.
A superb experience dining here. The food is incredibly good for the price! I got the Nashville chicken tenders and let me tell you, be ready for the heat! It sneaks up on you. The first couple tenders are hot but by the time you’re done you’re drying and dabbing your eyes. The fries are awesome! My wife got the lobster bisk and she enjoyed it. Highly recommend the Devils Backbone Vienna Lager!
Love love love!! Food was delicious and hot. Service was wonderful and food came out quick. We were there to see a show at the theater down the way so it was perfect. Will definitely go here again if in the area!
Out of towners, however I'm the F&B director for hotel chain and I gotta say... If I could poach Anna I would! I mean, the two ladies bartending were both awesome but Anna was attentive, friendly and efficient. Amazing service! Her and the other female bartender worked seamlessly together.
Awesome place with very affordable food. The burger was 10 bucks, but three dollars was taken off for happy hour. Our server Graham really took care of us.
Great place to grab drinks and listen to live Jazz. Cozy atmosphere, decent selection of draft beers, good choice of appetizers. Open till 2 am — nothing beats that!
Do you like Dave Matthews Band? This is where Dave used to work before he made it big! 🤘🏻
I've never had a less than memorable experience here. They have good food, good vibes, great live music and awesome bartenders.
I was looking forward to a relaxed evening here after hearing that Dave Matthews once worked at this location. The wings and drinks exceeded expectations, and the customer service was outstanding. The atmosphere created by both the staff Bruce & Virginia as well as the fellow patrons, made the experience genuinely enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend stopping by.
