AMAZING!! The service was great. Our server was so sweet and informative. The food and drinks were delicious. The atmosphere was calming and beautiful. We went for my birthday and I was extremely satisfied. The oysters were delicious. My son had a kids burger with fruit and fries and he loved it. I had a Caesar salad which was fresh and delicious with the fish tacos…. Literally amazing. My boyfriend had a burger as well and he was extremely happy about it. We will be back when we come to visit! Highly recommend. I didn’t take too many photos but attached what I did.

What a great place to hangout and enjoy delicious food and some memorable cocktails. We asked different dishes to share and it didn’t not disappointed. Our waitress Sarah was very friendly and professional. I totally recommend the spicy chicken Samosas. Overall, great service and great dinner experience.

Really nice place to eat in or just have a drink at the impressive big bar. Had one of their cheeseburgers and it tasted good - although the burger was a little cold, the fries were a bit damp and also a little cold. The drinks at the bar were delicious.

Great location next to the old train depot. Crab bisque hot and flavorful; chopped seafood salad had plenty of shrimp and lobster; Seared Tuna salad was fresh and large enough for 2; side of roasted root vegetables left in the fryer too long but seasoned deliciously; chicken chop salad yummy; ravioli was a lunch special and savory. Ordered coffee to go and server forgot...no big deal. Bathroom was clean! Would go back!

STIR is my favorite local spot! Everything is amazing every single time! The drinks are delicious and well crafted, the food is TOP NOTCH and the service and atmosphere make it all complete! My only complaint is that I have to pay for parking to enjoy it!

I ate at The Stir today, I had an order of half oysters Rockefeller and half char broiled oysters and my main entree was cheeseburger egg rolls. All of it was very good and my waitress whose name is Teresa C, gave excellent customer service!

Yesterday we arrived from Atlanta and it was a 2 hour wait for a table. We were able to squeeze into the bar and 1 word, wow! From the old fashioned to a last word the drinks were on point! We didn't catch her name but the women bartender with a brown pony tail even made her own drink for us. Not to mention how sweet she was. The chicken piccata was absolutely delicious and my woman ordered the steak frites. Very shocked on the prices, in Atlanta we are paying $45 minimum! Here it was only $25!!! Such a steal in 2025. Come here, sit at the bar, and enjoy. Will be back next time in Tennessee.

Beautiful place, great service food was good, we order chicken samosa which was delicious, grilled chicken was good too but the sauce was a little strong and salty, same with the Sesame steak bowl and steak frites. But the drinks were fantastic and overall amazing experience.
