We decided to have our wedding reception at Martha’s Place. Little did we know our wedding weekend would be during hurricane Helene. Martha and her staff still made our night the best we have ever had. During the entire wedding planning process she was attentive and had attention to details. I couldn’t be happier with our wedding day, despite the challenges of the weather and a lot of that is because of our amazing venue. The food was great and the atmosphere was all we dreamed of.On top of all of this, Martha and her staff have a great attitude. We have been to Martha’s on several occasions just for a casual drink and everything is always amazing.

Had our unreserved post wedding dinner and drinks here and it was PERFECT!!! There's an area around the bar if you wanna socialize or just chill but the side rooms are the true gems! All beautifully furnished and comfortable. Food was amazing!!! Staff was even better so that's a 7 star review right there!!! This will be our date night spot from now on. Oh and they have a pool table that's free to play so that was an added bonus as well. Family friendly too!

This place is fantastic. We were here for a couples getaway and had both dinner and breakfast here. The staff is amazing, friendly, and wholesome. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back.

Small place, with good atmosphere. Small bar, small menu, perfect for a little get together or an evening drink to celebrate life with.I always judge a places food by their hotwings. The wings were delicious. Juicy and crunchy all in the right places.

Martha’s place is fabulous! The food was spectacular and the service was on point. I had the club wrap with Brussel sprouts and my friend had the chicken salad wrap that was on special. The portions were plentiful and soooo good. The owner, Martha is pretty phenomenal too. Can’t wait to try out the rest of the menu!!

We had our small wedding reception at the events pavilion at Martha’s and it was awesome! A nice space for 40-50 people. Martha was very helpful in the planning. Her and her staff handled much of the decorating as well as food/drink. The night went very smoothly; it was beautiful and exactly what we needed!
