Reviews Summary
Scrooge's Fine Foods & Drink is lauded for its delicious, authentic Southern comfort food and exceptionally friendly service, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that keeps patrons returning. While the food is generally praised, some reviews note that side dishes can sometimes lack flavor, and the restaurant's unique entrance can be a bit confusing to find.
"Really enjoyed the dining experience here. Our server, Aspen, was such a delight and very attentive! It's nice to go to a restaurant that wants your business! The food was spot on. I've had great green-fried tomatoes before. The ones here will knock your socks off! They are topped with an amazing seafood cream sauce...next level!
The main course was perfectly paired. Aspen gave great advice as to what sides should be served w/the salmon I ordered. My dining partner ordered the shrimp po boy and was certainly pleased. He ate every bit of it! We ordered drinks from the bar. No complaints. All around, wonderful experience!"

"Went here almost a full week ago and have thought about it since. The food was DELICOUS! I could eat the lemon spinach forever it's so good! Our server was awesome I believe her name was Aspen. I plan to bring my family sometime so they can all try it :)"

"I visited 2 different occasions and got the boneless fried chicken lunch special. First let me say both times the chicken was cooked perfectly I mean the taste was great. Once I got Mac and cheese and rice and gravy and another time I got the dressing and sweet potato Casserole as you can tell by the pictures tried my best to season with salt and pepper but the flavor for the sides just wasn’t there. I will definitely visit again because that chicken was the bomb. Service was great."
