We enjoyed a great meal-large portions. We split the salmon w-horseradish sauce. It was delicious and a large serving even after splitting. Nice wine menu. A little old, but nice environment. More

Lots of people like this place. I have been once and thought it would be a good place to come back to, although I never have. Does that say anything? More

We were tired from attending a conference and this restaurant was near the convention center. Usually I cringe at the thought of eating near a convention center, but this restaurant was a gem. We shared the beer battered asparagus and the roasted garlic and toast points--both delicious. I had a small salad with lemon vinaigrette thinking my chicken and waffles... More

This place had a great selection of brunch food--all miniture portions so you can sample each thing without committing to a whole portion you may not finish. Biscuits, gravy, grits, corn flake chicken, pancakes, fruit, salad, pasta salad, salad, eggs, and other things are all displayed on the buffet. Top picks are the corn flake chicken and broccoli cheese casserole.... More

Reading the menu--BLT, Chicken Fried Steak, catfish, chicken and waffles--you could assume this is a standard comfort food place, but Moonshine takes each of these classics and put just enough of a twist on it to make it something really special.

Downtown location is handy to 6th Street and many hotels. Service was very good and three out of the four meals were well worth the price charged. The cheap steak order was just that so it is hard to complain too much. Overall it catered to a younger crowd which did make for a fun environment for our group of... More

The shrimp corn dog appetizers are a must. And you should really consider sharing the deserts between two, or even three! people. More
