It was our first visit and we came for the Thanksgiving dinner buffet. It was wonderful; Douglas was a terrific server! I have celiac disease and need to medically be strictly gluten free — he took extra care to make sure I was set up. We can’t wait to come back!

Our Thanksgiving meal was excellent. My husband got the 3 course meal. He had the butternut squash soup for the appetizer, and turkey with dressing and sweet potato casserole as his main, and the fruit cobbler for dessert. I got 4 appetizers as my meal--the dip duo with pimento cheese and crab dip, fried green tomatoes, crab cake and the fry basket with shrimp and veggies. We each had some of everything we ordered and everything was extraordinarily tasty. I was definitely appreciative of being able to order the 4 appetizers as my entree as last year the waiter told us they couldn't do it. Our waiter Rick was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is great with a different Christmas tree in each area and a cozy fire going in the fireplace at the front entrance. We were made to feel welcome as we entered and wished a Happy Thanksgiving as we left. It was a busy day for them, but the service was. This is our 3rd Thanksgiving here, and we plan on coming again next year.

We were there to celebrate a birthday. The hostess was friendly. Our waiter, Michael, was amazing! He was knowledgeable about the menu and very personable. After our meal, he graciously took photos of us after dinner. From the appetizers to the main course, drinks and dessert…everything was fantastic!

This was definitely one of my best experiences yet! It was a huge improvement compared to my last visit. Your waitress- Taeja’s service made all the difference—her knowledge of the menu and expertise with Fifth Group really stood out. We’ll definitely be back to celebrate more special occasions!
