Blacksmith

Amazing vegan options here. If driving by within 100 miles it's worth it to swing by for the food, drinks, the customer service, and atmosphere. Had the Seitan Bao Buns, 10/10, full flavor. I hate vegan seafood, but the crab cake sandwich reversed my decision. Mac and cheese was better than average, could use a bit more flavor, but otherwise tastes like a creamy homemade meal. Every staff member we encountered was lovely and inviting. Eat outside, it's a great experience. Hopefully will return soon.

Came recommended from a friend local to the area, they hyped it up as one of their favorite restaurants and it did not disappoint. Right when you walk in the warm and atmosphere welcomes you. My friend and I sat at the bar and the bartender was a knowledgeable and very attentive. I had their Autumn Spice Bourbon Cocktail and it was very tasty, almost like a slightly sweeter version of an Old Fashioned. I had a bowl of the crab bisque to start and it really may be my favorite crab bisque I have ever eaten, it was full of crab meat and the soup had an amazing silky texture and rich delicious flavor. For my main I had the Steak Frites, it’s a classic that is hard to mess up, it was cooked perfectly and had fantastic flavor. My friend had the Shrimp and Grits and was raving about how amazing it was and how perfectly the grits were cooked. It doesn’t break the bank either, I would definitely recommend!

Out of all the gems in town, there are a few that stand out, and the Blacksmith is one of them.
There’s a beautiful mix of creativity and local staples. The drinks and food are all phenomenal. You can’t go wrong with this caliber of quality and service.
