The Smokin Grape

Don’t waste your time. We arrived around 6 pm for dinner. In my opinion this is the prime time at a restaurant. We were the only table there! We decided to order fried pickles as an appetizer. They were out of pickles! How can this be? You’re in the same parking lot as Winn-​Dixie! Walk next door and buy a jar of pickles! My wife ordered a Roast Beef po-​boy. She took one bite and almost threw up. The meat was tainted! I tried a bite and it was disgusting. I ordered fried catfish. The filets were 12 inches long and 6 inches wide. I’ve never seen such a huge filet! They were fried until dark, but otherwise weren’t too bad. I was finished with my plate before the waitress ever came back to check on us. My wife had 2 bites out of her po-​boy. They took her sandwich off the ticket (which we didn’t request.) All in all it was a bad experience. Luckily we had purchased a Groupon to this place so we weren’t out much money. We were there for about 45 minutes and only 1 other table came in. The waitress was friendly, but seemed to forget us a lot. I guess when you’re never busy it’s hard to remember when someone actually comes in. We won’t be back. That’s very unfortunate considering we live 2 miles away!

I am giving this place a bad review because the hours say they are open until 10. Which is what the website says. The website DOES NOT say that they close the kitchen at 8:30 making my arrival at 8:50 futile. Only the bar remains open until ten. By the way, except for one table the place was completely empty.
Obviously, I don’t have any comments on the food because I couldn’t order any.
