I ordered Tessie’s chicken and shrimp, but what I received was just a few mushy pasta noodles, a lot of mushrooms, and very chewy chicken. The shrimp was also extremely chewy. When I placed my order, the lady mentioned there would be three large shrimp in the pasta, when I asked, so I asked for three more. However, I was disappointed by the size of the shrimp I did receive. I paid $34 for this meal, and I’m really let down. What I’m about to say might come off a certain way, but it’s true: unless I actually go into the restaurant I always get treated better🤔 also it said it was one of the most requested. I did not like the taste of it either.

My compliments to the chef my compliments to the service. Braden was one of the coolest, calm, and collective guys I’ve ever met. The food was so delish. Idk the name. But bow tie noodles all that good sauce and added meatballs. That dark beer fossil cove and a badass garden fresh salad. 10/5

Such a great hidden gem restaurant!! I loved everything from the customer service, to food and cocktail drink that I ordered!! Maria is an excellent, tentative server!!!The ravioli Rosa with Spicy meatballs was good and this was probably the best minestrone soup I’ve ever had, it was slightly spicy but tolerable!

Today we went in for my sister's birthday dinner and it's the first time I had even heard of this place. The service was great. The atmosphere was fantastic and the music that was playing wasn't loud at all, we could talk to ourselves at the same time the music was just soft enough to hear. I work at Olive Garden and the Alfredo I got was superior by far and everything tasted amazing. They did so well that my family thought everyone at Renzos deserved at least the offering of our home made red velvet cake with strawberry icing. Thank you so much and I plan to return soon!!!!

Excellent food and experience! This is our second time here, and Sarah waited on us both times. She is a very attentive server and was a big reason we came back. I had the steak and shrimp and my wife had the spaghetti. The Cesar salad and Ravioli appetizer was phenomenal! Will definitely come back!

One of the best steaks I’ve ever had. Cooked exactly as I ordered it. My ribeye was marbled very well as I like. Great service, atmosphere & delicious food. It’s a hidden gem 💎

My daughter chose this establishment for her 21st birthday dinner, we had never been here before, and to be honest didn't even know they were in existence. She was home celebrating from her "home 2.O" in Jonesboro and wanted local (that's my girl!) Short story, too long, but from the moment I called for reservations until we tabbed out there is not ONE thing that I can say negatively about the quality of the food, service, atmosphere, and price. I wish I could remember all the names of the staff as they were all wonderful, and welcomed the offer to share in the cake, they allowed us to bring in, and everyone got a piece!!! We don't eat out often, but will certainly visit this little gem again. Thànk you for being an integral part of our celebration.

Such a great spot. Looks like a hole in the wall, which is our favorite kind of find, right next to dollar general. The atmosphere was quiet and the food was awesome. I'm sad I don't live here so I could visit it regularly! Absolutely loved the fried zucchini appetizer!!
