Knotty Pine Restaurant

Have been here several times, the food is always tasty. They have a southern kick to their food, the Honey Dipped Chicken being the best on the menu. It is hand-breaded at the Knotty Pine, fried to a perfect crisp on the outside, while being juicy and tender on the inside. You can't go wrong with a side of green beans either, flavorful ham ties it all together. You are able to smoke inside, and if it is crowded- some may have some trouble with the cloud, but usually it is not an issue. The waitresses are not the most personable, and do not expect them to come back and check on you more than once. Depending on who is working, ordering drinks from the bar isn't always the best idea. Some seem to be more experienced bartenders than others, and it shows in the quality of the drinks. The cooks are kind and easy-going, even more pleasant to speak to than the waitresses. I would recommend Knotty Pine for others looking for a delicious old fashioned meal at a decent price.

I don't go out a lot so I wasn't sure what to expect when I set foot in the door but I had a great time hanging out at the bar with a friend (a Knotty Pine regular) and my younger brother (visiting from the West Coast). What was supposed to be a quick visit ended up lasting a few hours with a lot of singing & laughter. Loved it!
