    "The food alone would not bring me back, but the whole experience is what makes it a repeat! Dont get wrong, the food was good, but just your average food. It is served home style which is a nice way to get a little of everything verses what's usually just brought out on your plate. Being just my husband and myself, the basic pick plan was more then enough food with leftovers to spare. Your adventure starts when you arrive and check in (if you made a reservation). In the meantime the whole entrance floor is a store featuring many Paul Deen exclusive merchandise and great props for photo opportunities. When received a text after 10 minutes letting us know to make our way to the host stand. From there you are taken upstairs to the open dinning area. The view was great!! In this location you're overlooking the island and the famous Faris wheel. Made you feel like you were in the space needle in a sorta way. Our waiter was fast, and very friendly. We found ourselves chatting with other tables and comparing what dishes we each had tried. I would recommend, was had a great time. Thank you to all the staff and hopefully next time we're in town we'll see y'all again!"

    "I love Paula Deen! I love her recipes! I love her products. This restaurant gas it all. The food is served family style with your choices of dishes. It was fantastic. Service was impeccable. The building was spotless. The food was the best we had on the trip. Plan time to shop! You must smell every candle. They are the best candles we had ever smelled! This was the best meal of our trip!"

    "Excellent food, and service! We went on a busy Sunday, and waited an hour. I'm not complaining, because we passed time on the Island until they texted when our table was ready. The gift shop was very nice, and affordable. The food was incredible! We ordered the 3 meal family dinner and had enough that we couldn't finish it all. We drank blueberry and strawberry lemonade that was so refreshing. The inside was nice and clean. We had a beautiful view of the island from the big windows, while sitting on the second floor. The only complaint I have is the restrooms are downstairs, and very small! So be sure to use the bathroom before being seated, otherwise you will have to take a trip back down the escalator."
