Can a biscuit say hello? My grandma Ruby thought it could. She seemed to bake all day - a fresh batch always coming out of the oven. This biscuit-baking ritual warmed the kitchen of her modest farmhouse and the hearts of welcome guests. From close friends to weary farmhands, Ruby's biscuits were a loving invitation to gather, rest, and say hello.

Our experience from walking in and being greeted by the front staff, then immediately greeted by Victoria, who was our server. She was outstanding.

It was a lovely evening, start to finish! The hostess was charming, bartender knowledgeable and chatty (but not too!) Dinner was amazing. We ordered off the menu. The salmon was wonderful as was my husband's pork chop. We have been before, and will return

First time eating at On the Nines, our server, Diego, was great! Super knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. My daughter’s food came out super fast, which is great for any parent with a hungry child. I got the shrimp and grits which were delicious, the grits were perfectly seasoned and creamy. Intimate setting, nice for a family dinner or date night.

Food was good and a very good value. Service was just ok. Waited a very long time to have cocktail order taken. Anytime the server came back to check on us, she circled the table and didn’t really stop and take time to genuinely seem interested in how things were. She was onto the next table. In fairness, once our meal was served we really didn’t need anything.
