"Brooklyn and Dez were so awesome!!! Me and my best friend always split our meals and share and they were so accommodating and helpful. Overall, food and service is amazing! Try the bread pudding. 😍 10/10"

"Read the reviews before and most seemed to not be pleased just by the service. We had outstanding service and our server was extremely friendly and pleasant. Food came out quickly and all of our food was delicious and all had clean plates. We ordered the biscuits and gravy, oatmeal and backstretch breakfast"

"Was in town the past weekend and stayed at Origins hotel. During our stay we patronized the bar/restaurant, 33 Staves and did not disappoint. Drinks are very well made and service was fantastic. Thank you Ginger, we enjoyed the time we spent with you! PS, my girls told the front desk upon checkout to tell you thank you 😉
They have a very nice selection of bourbon as well as wine."
