Natural State Provisions

Visited this place for the first time on a Saturday night. There was a sign "Please wait to be seated" and we were ignored. So many people were walking by us, not acknowledging us and eventually one of us had to corner a person and ask if we could be seated. There were barely any customers but the service was so terrible. As far as the food, it was good. My only dislike was the chips. They are advertised as a bbq chip but there was no spice and more like a vinegar chip to me. Lastly, they force 20% gratuity on customers transactions. You can add additional, but the charge 20% to your bill no matter.... Never seen that. Overall, this place has potential but they need to work on their customer experience. *The "please wait to be seated" sign was posted near the door on the back of the hostess stand... Why would you have that sign if it's never supposed to be used? Also, if it's self seating, why wouldn't one of the many people who saw us standing there not say that? Just own it.

3% upcharge for credit cards, 20% gratuity automatically added on to bills

Seems like your basic bar, but the food is elevated. I loved my burger and everyone else in our party enjoyed their dishes also. They had several cocktails that they were out of ingredients for, but made up a cocktail and it was great!

I was highly disappointed in this experience. Probably one of the worst try-hard places I've ever been to. And I REALLY wanted to like this place. Server was nice but explained they were having issues with the tap. It was way worse than that. Mentioned miller high life being on Sale. Great! Oh wait... out of stock. Sodas? Flat. "CO2 problems". Then She disappeared, gave our table over to the bartender without communicating that to us or him apparently as she was back and forth in the restaurant on the landline phone, presumably with support, since their credit software was down. Way to communicate. We had to get our own napkins, only one roll of silverware was at the table but we all had finger food. wings were served (by the bartender, not the server) we had needed drinks already for several minutes (not wanting to bother the bartender whom at that point i had just assumed was helping out-), I had to go to the kitchen to find someone. They had to chase down the bartender since server was completely AWOL. Then after all of that, I bit in to cheese curds that were NOW cold and so over cooked it was nothing but breading. We had waited almost 45 minutes by this point. I mean is it too late to ask for my money back? I had such high hopes for this place. Oh the wings you ask? Couldn't tell they were Buffalo wings since they had so many other flavors... none of which match up with or pair well with Buffalo sauce. Frankly I almost wonder if they just got the order wrong...? The sauces they served ranch/bleu were extraordinarily salty (oh and no celery, at all, on dollar wing night. Not even in the restaurant. Someone tell their "chef" what mirepoix is. He's from the south you say? Oh then its trinity... but still includes celery. No wonder why they can't make a decent meal...). They tried to boujie everything up but instead made a mess with over salt, overly herbed, total mess in general. "Ranch"? More like dill pesto. With salt. Plus both the tap and sodas were absolutely messed up... ....and no server to be found. Had asked about vegan options, as they advertised such options. Was met with a blank stare. Don't go here unless you absolutely just want to be disappointed. And spend too much money. (Bartender, you were awesome. Thanks my guy. You get 5)

It's not often you go into a place, for the first time, then find yourself there 3 times that same week. From the esthetic, to the food, to the amazing staff, this restaurant had me in this state, the first week of 2024. If you haven't been, please go. Order the sweet potato fries with whatever entree your heart desires. They are worth the extra $2. They also have trivia on Tuesdays, Bingo on Wednesdays, and a wing special, which I will be checking out soon. The ambiance alone is worth checking out. There is something to look at in all corners of the bar area. Bonus, its kid friendly!!

Food was a little over-seasoned, but still good. Can't beat the nice local feel and exceedingly good for a little pub. The drinks are exceptional. Definitely recommend.
