Food and drinks were good! We had a new waiter and our party was large however the service was very slow and server not very knowledgeable about menu, we were the last guests to leave restaurant due to waiting long periods of time between ordering food to dessert, but besides that hush puppies were delicious, they serve complimentary wrapped crackers and cheese in a basket, bread would have been a better option imo. Main courses were delicious as were the desserts ample parking

The best sunsets around. The food was great, but they were out of cornbread and pasta. Our waitress was extremely friendly, she apologized abput the bread, but to be fair we arrived late in the evening. The seafood Quesadilla was out of this world.Cheers

This was our 1st time dining at Owens' Restaurant. From the moment we walked in the door, we felt the warm, Southern hospitality from the Hosts greeting us! The decor throughout the Restaurant was very cool and unique. The ambiance and layout is perfect.Our server Mark was fantastic and very attentive! The food was great. We had the coconut shrimp as an appetizer. The beer cheese, bread, and hush puppies brought to us were delicious. We had the Fried Seafood Trio and a 14oz. Prime Rib steak. The entrees and all sides were prepared to perfection.We got dessert to-go and really enjoyed that as well. The Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie and Key Lime Pie were both amazing!All the waitstaff bid us a fond farewell on our way out. We had such a wonderful experience at Owens' Restaurant!Do yourself a favor and dine here!

One of our all-time favorite restaurants ever. Have been dining here for years and years. Last visit was August 4, 2022. Sign on door asked us to be patient as they were short staffed. Our waiter, Noah, was phenomenal. Very, very attentive and polite and answered all of our questions with ease. Per usual, the food was incredible. I ordered the petite filet Oscar and had the Godiva chocolate mousse for dessert. It was all excellent.

Wish we had known to wear something nicer than jeans and a hoodie. Dress more like Sunday best. Food was fabulous ???? very large portions, but they do offer small plates. The cheese and crackers were a little out of place in a nice restaurant as this.
