I just returned from my mom's suprise birthday party at Withers Hardware Restaurant. The whole experience was wonderful! We had a private room and a buffet set up for our guests. Everything was decorated so nice! We chose a menu of chicken, pork, rice, mashed potatoes, green beans, and rolls. Everything was so delicious! The wait staff and the ...

We went to Withers before seeing plaid at barters. it was one of the most horrible experience I have ever had. The owner waited on us, took the orders, then came back 20 minutes later, said she had to take order again! After another half hour she started bringing orders out, they were all wrong, belonged to another table! When the orders ...

Eating there tonight and asking a bunch of locals "what happened" showed how a good business can be rapidly killed by bad management. The food is now too expensive for ...

I would recommend staying away from the Hardware. The service is up and down. Alison's or the Tavern are much better choices.

I took my wife here for our 36th anniversary with some anxiety as we had not been there since change in ownership. Food was great service was excellent wife was pleased, what else can you say except try the pork scallipino.
