    holy cow this place is good. be sure to come on a monday and get their mojito special! to die for! i got the mac and cheese entree and i don't think i've ever had mac and cheese THIS good. this was my first and definitely not my last visit

    aside from the awesome food. the service was pretty good too.  sat at the bar and although the bartender was pretty busy, she still made sure to recognize i was there and assured me she'd be right over.

    overall i've had a great experience and will definitely be returning. :)

    Wasn't too sure what we were getting into when we came here. We went during devour. The inside was pretty dark so opted to sit outside. The service was great! The atmosphere was bleh...
    I ordered the loaded Mac and cheese. Which we found out was just their mushroom soup over noodles (very runny, my bf chose the mushroom soup as his SOD) The Mac and cheese also had chicken which some pieces weren't the warmest.
    Bf ordered bbq chicken and pulled pork with mashed potatoes, broccoli and garlic toast. Overall the food was pretty bland. Seems to be geared towards someone on a restricted diet. Such as sodium intake.

    Had lunch here the other day. It was ok, not great. It was appreciated that there was a devour menu, so I got the salad and pork tenderloin sandwich. The salad looked pitiful, I don't think it helped that it was placed on a large plate, but there was not very much of it. The tenderloin itself had good spices mixed in, but could have used some condiment with it.

    Service was mostly friendly, but also mostly slow. It wasn't even that busy, so was a little disappointed at the speed. The decor was nice and it was clean inside, so it was a pleasant place to be. May try again.

    Although I have driven by this restaurant numerous times, somehow, it never really caught my attention.  Maybe a different, more enticing name would draw people in.  Maybe a higher profile store front other than a bland strip mall exterior would help.  And even those things don't fully explain how this place has missed my radar.  When I searched Yelp for restaurants in the area, this only popped up as the 71st option!  So, it wasn't just me.

    What I will tell you is that if you want a good quality lunch with a number of recognizable/traditional food options, maybe an alcoholic beverage, and being able to sit outside under an umbrella, then this is the place to bookmark.

    After grabbing free parking in the lot, I entered into a clean, but a little bit static restaurant.  Their dining area was near the front, bar area towards the back, and lots of windows brought in natural light from the front of the space.  

    I was greeted at the door and taken to a booth along the wall in the bar area.  I was immediately drawn to a salmon sandwich that comes on a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato, pickle chips, and a spicy tartar sauce on the side.  I also upgraded to include grilled asparagus as a side.

    After a brief wait, my meal arrived.  I built the sandwich that was quite tasty.  The portion was just right for lunch and the salmon was cooked to the proper temp for my selection.  The asparagus had a grilled/char taste that I really like.  Overall, a really delicious lunch.

    Checkout went smoothly too.  So, if you like a quick meal, but not fast food, give Smee's a try.

    I probably won't ever go back.  The food was ok. The service wasn't great, and the atmosphere just made me down right uncomfortable.  If you just need a quick bite and aren't really concerned with the quality of the food, or the place you eat it, this is a good place for you.  Otherwise, I'd go elsewhere.
