    Friends raved about the fried chicken and now we're fans for life! Don't forget the mac and cheese. Yes, it's an additional side but totally worth it!

    Our evening at Slogar was wonderful as always. The food, the drinks (I highly recommend the InCider View), the ambience, and the staff were all the best they could be. This has been a favorite restaurant for over 30 years. I hope the tradition will continue! Best of luck to the owners!

    Food was very good. Expensive for the kind of food and atmosphere. Menu prices were higher than prices on line and higher than what was on open table. Portions were generous and staff was friendly

    When we need a fried chicken “fix”, Slogar’s always delivers. The chicken, biscuits, cream corn, mashed potatoes, and collard greens were all very good….as expected. Our criticism /critique is the service. The staff always prepares your table with the salad options prior to seating you, which is great. You sit down and your salad, cole slaw, etc is already waiting on you to dig in. My critique is that after being seated, no one asked to take a drink order…..and no one showed up to inquire about drinks until 10-15 minutes later when a waitress shows up to take the entree order. So while we did enjoy our meal, the cocktails didn’t arrive until just prior to the entree’s being placed on the table, so they missed a chance for a second round of drinks, and took the shine off the dining experience.

    Table was wobbly and never got fixed properly, It too long for the check to arrive and too long for our receipt to arrive.

    Used to love The Slogar. But now it’s just another overpriced and undergood restaurant. Service is still great, however.
