We had a really great visit on a weekend trip to the area. We were surprised to find pierogies on the menu and enjoyed sampling the delicious menu dishes but the special pierogi offering for the holiday of turkey and onion with stuffing, cranberry compote, stuffing and gravy...it was delicious and creative and the special cheesecake desert was a perfect partner. We were there on trivia night and the vibe was lively and vibrant and the patrons super friendly. The service equaled the experience and the bartender seemed very skilled at making unique and custom drinks. Overall a great find, thank you!

Holy Moly where to start.... This was one of the best dining experiences I've had, period. Very few places compare to the experience we had. The food was Phenomenal and the service was perfect. Cozy restaurant that is perfect for a date night! 12/10 permanently affixed to the radar.

We had such a great time! Alex and Drew took such great care of us at the bar. The best espresso martini I’ve ever had and you can tell they care about the technique they use to make the cocktails! And a PLUS is their desserts are homemade!!!!

Rob and Lindsey have created a welcoming environment w original food and drink options that the Shoals desperately deserves. It is our family’s go to choice. Highly recommend you give them a visit. Staff is great and if you are looking for something more original than corporate owned chains, this is your spot.
