Delicious! The food was wonderful! The first time I ate everything on my plate. The potatoes were amazing with the sauce that is drizzled on top. Flavored cream was available but it is not always . I went on a good day! It is small that conversation can feel like you are sharing every word with the table next to you.The server and hostess were cleaning the tables it would be more convenient if there was someone to assist. The employee all seem to have a good attitude.I will go back!

Our first time here. Even with the problems, it was worth it. There was a large event across the street so probably wasn't a good decision to pick this day on our part but this was our 2nd attempt. We tried breakfast a month ago but they didn't open until 11. This visit.....the two young servers are a bit overwhelmed but they kept going without showing frustration. It seemed disorganized in seating and service. We waited to be seated, served and then the check way longer than is usual in a restaurant. Others waited longer. Could definitely use a busperson which would help immensely (who wants to walk in and see multiple tables needing clearing). I went out of my norm and tried the shrimp and grits which sounded flavorful. At first look, I was hesitant and planned on taking half home. I was wrong on both accounts. My final analysis on the dish was YUM.

We frequent the Land regularly but haven’t eaten here in a few years. They are still cranking out some really delicious food. My son ordered the salmon entree with broccolini and mash. Hubby got the chicken and waffles. I ordered a club like Sammy with chicken, avocado, cheese, lettuce &mater. All were really terrific. Hats off to the chef! Whoever you are——-thank you for taking pride in your work and delivering great plates! My Sammy not only looked amazing but tasted SO good. The restaurant filled up quickly after opening. Our suggestion is to have more servers/wait staff on hand. It seemed like only 1 or 2 people were waiting tables. Nobody checked on us after the food was placed and it took time to get the check. This is a great place and want this establishment to stick around. Thanks for a great meal! Ps. Prices were affordable!!!!!

I’ve been to this restaurant twice. The first time I got a burger. It was delicious. The second time I got a roast beef sandwich, which also was very good. The only problem was there was only one server for the 20 some tables that they have in the restaurant. she was hauling butt and she took the orders very good and did the best she could for all the work she had to do. I know times are hard and people don’t wanna do work like that, but they really need to get somebody in there to help her because both times I visited this restaurant we had to wait half hour to order and30 minutes to get our food because she was so busy
