Pea Ridge: Reviews & Ratings
I ordered the surf & turf special with mushrooms and spinach. My meal was delicious but it was a little heavy on the thyme. I finished everything on my plate and then ordered the pecan bread pudding for dessert (nothing exciting). Everyone in our party enjoyed their food- lamb shank sandwich, shrimp and grits, veggie sandwich with a wedge of salad, a plain hamburger with homemade chips (burger was on the dry side). Yes, I would return and Derek our waiter was awesome.
If you want to take a break from the Decatur restaurant circuit, head over to this unassuming spot on Lawrenceville Highway. So I forgot to take pics before we ate but the new owners have maintained the quality of the food here and we totally devoured our red butter lettuce salad and the smoked chicken sandwich. I talked them into a side of the cheddar grits and they DID NOT Disappoint!
Great dinner at a local restaurant. Well worth the drive to this homey, layback, restaurant with s rustic feel. The limited menu with daily specials is unique and delicious. Starters sandwiches are 10-20 and main entrees 20-30. We started with shroom pita, and had spotted snapper special and loaded potato for our mains and finish with pecan bread pudding. Local beers and house wine rounded out our dinner. We came before the dinner rush and the service was personal and exceptional. We even had a chance to talk to the owner/chef who thanked us for having dinner with them. Tables surround the central located bar and dog friendly outdoor seating. A couple of TVs are located in the restaurant for sports fans.
This cute space is amazing. Had the best fried chicken and the service was attentive. The gravy and mashed potatoes were amazing and definitely traditional southern cooking.
This place feels like home and taste like Michelin. Every meal is out of this world delicious and the servings are generous. The staff are attentive and kind without being overbearing. All around an excellent vibe and one of our go to spots.
I found this place when I Googled brunch restaurants in the area, and I'm so glad I did! The staff were super nice, personable, and engaging with great conversations. The food (Roasted & Grilled Shrooms on Pita) and cocktail (Decatur Lemonade) I ordered were FANTASTIC. I also had a group leaving tell me that the burger was exceptional. I definitely highly recommend this place!
This is the second time we have eaten here. Both times everything was superb; the food, the service, and the atmosphere.
I have been intrigued by Pea Ridge since driving by it for past couple of years. I should have tried it sooner. It’s such a good mixture of deliciousness! We went with the specials tonight, which were crab cakes & the sirloin steak. Super reasonably priced & the flavors were incredible! Angel was our server & did a great job! Aaron, the owner, checked on us too! Overall, we had an excellent experience & will be back!
