I've always gone here for after work gatherings and this place doesn't disappoint. Cold beer, good drinks but the outside seating is what makes this place a hideaway. The order station is small but they are always happy to fast with the service.

Eclectic little spot with super cool ambiance, indoor and outdoor seating, and super unique decor. Food arrived in a relatively short amount of time considering the volume of people and there was a well labeled section of non alcoholic offerings.

I love this place for lunch or just to hang out-- the courtyard is MAGICAL. If it's not open when you stop by, definitely come again. A really perfect place to eat lunch outside in nice weather, but it also features a cozy and welcoming bar. This feels like the kind of places that only locals know about, and it's definitely worth a visit.

My sandwich was great! And my drinks? (I ordered green tea shots then a green tea cocktail) were on point. Music was good, nice vibes, relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely go again. A little confusing for your first time when you enter, not really knowing if you just sit and wait for someone to come to you to order or if you go straight to the bar to order, which you do the latter lol. We also got there a little earlier than when the kitchen opened, so we just had a drink or to before hand. Will visit again soon.

Great, simple, hole-in-the-wall sandwich spot. Nothing crazy, low price and fast service -- can't complain!

This place was amazing. Some decor was very good. People were very friendly. The outside patio was nice. I liked that a lot. I'll go back there again. I didn't provide any pictures so this region will not have any photos but you can probably look them up online or somewhere on some type of social media to look at their establishment.

It was a cold January night, and my husband and I were looking for a new place to go because we had been stuck in the house all day. The Garage isn't a new place. We used to go in in the 80s, but we forgot about it once we had kids. Anyway, we were looking on Yelp, and when we saw it again after, we decided we had to go. It is the same divey, casual, fun, neighborhood hangout that it used to be. We loved the 80s music that they were playing, and luckily, we're able to get a table. My husband kept smelling the soup, so we had to try it, and we were so glad we did. It was a southwestern soup with Conecuh sausage. My favorite was dipping the crackers and scooping up the beans and sausage, and there was a lot of sausage. It was delicious. They have some inside seating and a fire pit outside. I want to visit in the spring and see the Wisteria in bloom. There were a lot of vines.

This place had been on my radar for a while and I'm so glad I finally stopped by! I love the rustic, homey, back yard type feel. It makes the space feel uniquely authentic. I heard a cheerful, "Hey!", "Hi!", and "Hello" from their staff rhe moment I walked in and a lot of the guests seemed like comfy friends and regulars. I didn't have time to dine in, so I ordered to go from the bar and it was an easy process. They're a small, but mighty team and were working through their long line of orders as swiftly as they could; so grab a drink and settle in a bit while you wait, it's worth it. I thought I was keeping it simple by order a ham & turkey sandwich with pepper jack cheese and pepperonis, but the sandwich was SO good, I've gotta go back and explore more. The bread was perfect toasted and the proteins were soft but thick. The lettuce and peppers were nice and crunchy, everything just blended together so well. I'm really looking forward to going back with a friend when I have more time to enjoy because I've heard their patio is also pretty epi
