   Our group of four had a fantastic experience. The staff was very attentive and personable and the wait staff exceptional. I would highly recommend The Meander Inn!

   This was a birthday celebration for my husband, Steve. The food and service was OUTSTANDING!!! The courtyard dining was lovely with the exception that there needs to be more lighting....either at the table level or other types of LED lighting. That would have made the evening perfect! The fire pit was great but again, no lighting to get to it when it was pitch dark not knowing where to step, etc. However, we made it with lighting from our phones. We met some nice people who were staying there for the weekend with celebrations of their own. And, they had there furbabies with them on leashes. Overall, we can't wait to go back!!! Congrats to Team Meander!! Steve & Barb Smith

   This place was so run down. I don't know where they got the pictures. I made the reservation on OpenTable which has no indication that on Sundays they have a Sunday supper. This is basically pulled pork and fried chicken with your typical southern side dishes of mac and cheese and other high-fat high calorie options. I see that this is on their website but it is not on OpenTable so I did not know about it when I made the reservation on a Sunday. We got to the reception area and there was no one to be seen. There was another lady who was checking in to the Inn who kept asking us if we were in the right place. We had no idea if she was in the right place but she kept asking us. We sat and waited for a while with no one appearing. We rang the bell at the reception desk and no one came. We called the phone number and it went right to voicemail. Finally a young woman came and seated us in the dining room which was fine but not nearly as beautiful and upscale as the pictures made it look. The outside of the Inn is overgrown with weeds, the brick path leading up to the front door is falling apart and all of the concrete has disintegrated. We left without eating.

   Such a lovely setting. The house and grounds and dining room are beautiful. Excellent service from the waitstaff - sincerely friendly and easygoing. The food is homecooked comfort food for Sunday dinner only: fried chicken, potato salad, green beans, cornbread. Very large portions - don't eat too much cornbread or you won't make it to dessert. The menu for the Thursday - Saturday is intriguing. The waiter had me at "Rack of Lamb." Looking forward to returning soon.

   The food is fantastic and the venue is even better. A quaint, intimate room that was absolutely perfect for a date night! The three course prix fixe is worth every penny, and is not too expensive at all.

   We have been going to Meander Inn for almost 20 years. During Covid it went through some rough patches but we are so excited that it is back up to par. A new general manager (Daniel) started a number of months ago and he has been busy getting things sorted. There is a new(ish) chef as well. All told we are pleased to report that the standards are back! We are looking forward to trying breakfast!
