“ Nick is an awesome bartender! From the pizzas to the Embers Fries to everything from the grill is simply amazing. This is a great place to come relax after a long holiday with the family. I was too excited to take a original picture but here are the fries ”
“ We have dined at this location several times and have always had a pleasant experience. Today , Zoe was our server and she went above and beyond making sure we never asked for a refill or and always stopped to ask if we needed anything when servicing other tables . Also saw several other servers helping each other out and that is always refreshing to see . I truly enjoy supporting local businesses like this especially when they work so hard to earn your business . The culture of teamwork and quality has not gone unnoticed by us and for that we say thank you with this 5 star review . Apologies for not writing it sooner . 1 Perfectly cooked NY Strip with grilled zucchini . Seriously , the zucchini alone is worth the visit . 2.

“ Excellent place to eat! Service was top notch. Never left an empty glass always checked in with you. The food was amazing.. hot and fresh and really really good. Highly recommend ”
“ Our family of 7 had dinner here for the 1st time and enjoyed it. Our waiter, Joey was wonderful. We sat outside where we had a guitar playing lovely music. The fresh fried jalapenos and fried mushrooms were delicious & on point. The raspberry lemonade tea was too sweet. The salmon with glaze was delicious. Also, the chicken fried steak, sweet potato fries, and tater tots were also delicious. I highly recommend Embers. ”
“ My daughter and I decided on a whim to go to lunch here. The fried jalapenos came out first and they were amazing! I was going to dock a star for the jalapeno mac and cheese because it had no flavor and too many bread crumbs, but to take a whole star for 1 side seems a little excessive. The steak was cooked to perfection. The service was really good as well, she was super sweet. Overall, it was amazing and I will be coming back with the hubby. ”
“ We’ve driven by this place for 6 years before finally deciding to stop in. It has now become a regular in our rotation. I’ve loved everything we’ve tried. The steak is excellent and the pizza is some of the best around. I hated grilled romaine until I had it here; now I’m obsessed. Chef Ruben doesn’t mess around. Great selection of beer to boot. Ask for ‘Alex’, Joey, Chris, Maddi, or Alyson—you’re in good hands! ”
“ Food was amazing. Both of our Ribeye Steaks were cooked to temp perfectly (med rare). Chicken Florentine was juicy and the spinach sauce was delicious. Bourbon glazed pork chops were delicious. Chicken fried steak was hand Breaded and gravy was great. Portions were all generous. The side items were all seasoned well, no need to add salt or pepper at table. I'm the kind of person who always has to add more spice but happy that I didn't here. Grilled zucchini was the tastiest I've ever had while dining out. Green beans were fresh, mashed potatoes creamy, broccoli was amazing, probably better than I've had at any restaurant before. Even the fries were good. We didn't order dessert, we were full from our meals. Very reasonable on prices, for a family of 5 we spent 125 before tip, we all drank water and no appetizers ordered. There were definitely cheaper meal options, such as pizza and burgers, but we ordered from the higher end and still didn't cost us 200. Atmosphere was awesome, music playing was a good variety, we all liked the vibe there and everybody was pretty friendly. ”
“ Breonna was a great server , my tea never ran out , she came often to check on us . The food was delicious I got the one pound hamburger which was juicy and flavorful. My fiance had the grilled salmon Caesar I tried to salmon and it was very good I almost wish I had gotten that. Everything on the menu looked good and I had a hard time deciding what to order . ”
