This was out first trip to Hillbilly Tea since it relocated. We'd eaten at the previous location a few times and always enjoyed it. Arriving around 7:00 PM on a Saturday, we found the room almost empty. We were seated quickly and our server told us that they were out of a couple of items. We asked a question about one of the drinks and he got the bar manager (same person who seated us). She was...

The food was obnoxiously bland. I ordered the Eggs, Biscuits, and Gravy with bacon. They charged me an extra 3$ for the bacon and it was only a half piece. The gravy was watered down with no flavor. The biscuits were thick cardboard and only tasted of baking soda. It was a very, very disappointing experience and I am so angry that we had spent an absorbent amount of money on this food. Also,...

The ambiance was incredible so the fact that it took 20 minutes to get 2 drinks and a can of beer was a poor start, particularly on a slow night. The food was good however my meatloaf arrived luke warm instead of hot which made it less appealing. The corn pone was great however. IF they do not fix the service issues, they will not last.

I love to be adventuresome in my food choices; however, there was nothing appealing on this menu. It was one of the few places which had an open reservation so I thought it would be good to try it. I didn't love it and am quite sure I wouldn't go back. There are too many other good options.

Tried to stop in for brunch and was told, at 10 am when it opens, that the wait would be 30 minutes because we didn't have reservations for the empty restaurant. So a couple weeks later, with reservations, I tried again. The food was mediocre with respect to other nearby options in the same price range. The "handpoured" coffee was $4 for a mug and another $4 for a second cup. I do not see...
