1st time here. I ordered to go, catfish was cooked to perfection, and the side salad was fresh and delicious!! I waited at the bar and had a drink and cornbread while waiting for my food to be prepared. The server was friendly and pleasant. I will definitely try Renee's the next time I'm in town.

Yum for real y'all! 1st visit to Renee's as recommended by the staff of Autumn Care! No disappointments here. Service was super friendly and well versed in the options and prep of the meals. We enjoyed the Spicy Honey Garlic Pork Chops --- that sauce is Sooo good! Side of some of the best String Beans in town & good Yams too. Also, the Parmesean Crusted Salmon - 5oz of baked goodness. And lastly, the best chopped liver, gravy & rice in town. Tender & full of flavor with Mac & cheese!! And for down home southerners - there were chitterlings being served today!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 😋

First time dining here, and I will DEFINITELY be back. I ordered to go but it was still piping hot when I got home. I had the parmesean crusted salmon, green beans, and mac n cheese. All of it was simply delicious! I do not have one complaint. Surprisingly, my favorite dish was the green beans, they were seasoned to ultimate perfection. I can't wait to try more things on the menu. Keep up the good work Renee's! See you soon.

Food was good, try those philly egg rolls and the crab dip. The service and hospitality was even better! Please go patronize this establishment, I think you will be glad you did.

Third time I ate here and the food is 100, but my service last night, 28Feb25, was the worst. Our server barely, almost never checked on us. We had to prompt the owner to get our drinks we ordered after not receiving them for almost 20 minutes. We had to prompt her to get our appetizers after almost 20 minutes, and my order was still messed up. I had the chicken sandwhich with no tomatoes. Of course it came with tomatoes. The food was great, but then they charged us a “service charge.” When I asked what this was, the server told us it was for consumables, but didn’t really explain. I’m pretty sure it was just an extra tip. Zero refills on the water. Service charge was 18%. Good food, not going back again. I’m pretty sure our server, in pink yoga pants was either slow, or high on something. Don’t like seeing the cooks just hang out in the restroom either. Great food though. Greens are too mushy. Servers should cover their stomachs.

My wife and i stopped here for a late lunch today, and boy, did we leave satisfied. We got the crab dip which was amazing, chips were homeade, crispy and well seasoned. The spicey honey pork chop was ridiculously good, and that mac n cheese....was some hearty mac n cheese. I absolutely could of ate an entire bowl. Little upset i didnt have room for the peach cobbler, but ill back for that!

Group of 6, visiting from out of town. The vibe was great! Chill familiar music playing in the background, nice lighting. The food was fantastic! We got a chance to meet the owner's niece and the owner's husband. If you want a great experience, depending on the night, you might get line dancing, amateur stand up acts, karaoke/open mic. The crowd is for the mature and mellow. Relaxing but fun. The ONLY issue was our server, but thankfully the owners and kitchen came to the rescue. We would absolutely would visit again.

My mother and I along with my three children ate there yesterday. The food was exceptional.The customer service was great and I especially love the man that came out from the kitchen and talked to us. His sense of humor is unmatched. I didn't mind the wait for the food because I knew it would be fresh. The only issue that I had is that it was only my mom, my children (12, 18, and 9) and myself. I didn't like automatically adding gratuity to a family of 5. A $26 tip was a bit much, and then she almost got tipped again because I didn't realize it was automatically in there and she didn't volunteer the information either. This is enough to make me never eat there but to always get it to go. I would still support. However I would never bring my family. We could have ordered two more items off the menu for that. That's almost $30!!! Automatic gratuity generally starts at 6 people, not 5. So that automatically rules them out when we are looking for a place to dine in.
