I’ve visited Joes Garage @ Shelby’s Trio twice with my husband and visited with my daughter while she was home from college break. So I’ve tried the brunch , dinner and one night we split appetizers along w dessert! The food we’ve had is delicious! The staff has been excellent every time as well! I’m excited to try the Italian food next! Bonus- local owned!! Photos will start with brunch, dinner then the appetizers we had during the playoff game:) I highly recommend eating here!

We visited Shelby's Trio tonight for the first time in several months, this time choosing to eat in Joe's Garage on the first floor. We never had a poor experience, but they have changed management and the menu. The menu has been condensed from several pages of choices, including about ten burger options to a single front and back page. They have obviously decided to do a few things we'll instead of doing many just acceptably. I chose the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and my batter half picked the Phily Sandwich. We had the loaded tots to start, and even opted for the pan cookie to finish. (We almost never have desert.) Let me back up... We were greeted by an engaging young man within moments of sitting down. He was friendly and took the time to carry on conversations while actually making eye contact. He had us both smiling right away. He had our drinks to us very quickly and took our orders without notes. (He didn't miss a thing.) The food came quickly and exactly as ordered. The tots were crispy and flavorful with the layers of toppings. The sandwiches were perfectly cooked and very generously proportioned. My wife tends to be dainty when she eats and used a fork and knife on her Phily. She said she loved it, but wouldn't share a bite for me to judge it on my own. My Buffalo Chicken was great. The sauce was tangy and flavorful but not so hot that you missed anything. If there were a not to pick, it would be that the sandwich was designed to ensure you got some on your hands, chin, elbows, knees, and your neighbor's dog. This is not a complaint, as that is how a proper pub Sandwich should be. The cookie was hot and gooey with a high-quality ice cream to balance it out. The best part of the night was Lorezo, our server. He was refreshingly professional in his role while displaying friendly, engaging, and intelligent conversation. Next, the food was improved from the previous management and menu, and very good. Third, the manager checked on us, spent time to actually talk to us for a few minutes, and not just do a drive by glad-hand. I suppose I was one of the fee that didn't have a complaint with the previous management, but what I saw tonight was a significant step up. The service, the food, and the management was outstanding. As before, the atmosphere is fun and comfortable. If you had an issue in the past, go back. Ask for Lorenzo, he was a great server. If you haven't been, get in there quickly before everyone catches on yo how good they have gotten.

I went to Shelby’s today. I was severed by the best servers ever ( so good I had to get a picture). Thanks to Emma and Jenn for the great experience. Also I met Micheal Waltrip so that was cool too. 10/10 would recommend.

Trattoria di Cat. If you are looking for a place to get dressed up and take your date, this is it. The atmosphere is elegant, fine dining. No complaints about anything.

Wow! The food was amazing and the service was outstanding! Granite took great care of my large party. He was entertaining, friendly, attentive and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. I highly recommend this place and I recommend the cheesecake egg rolls and country fried steak with hash brown casserole.
