| - TL;DR - Trendy spot where you can fill up on small plates and grab a cocktail without breaking the bank
Food - 3.75/4 - The food is Southern/American cuisine, which has a lot of easy to like foods that are usually "good" even when not done well. I thought 3 of the 4 dishes my wife and I ranged from 'solid' to 'exceptional'. We started with an order of the hushpuppies. They were seasoned well, super crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside. The flavored butter it came with was a highlight. Next thing we got was there take on mac & cheese. I almost never get mac & cheese at a place, mostly out of spite from people telling me, "You have to go to ____ restaurant, the ____ mac and cheese is SOOO good." Well, of course, when you take a delicious, easy-to-like food and add another delicious easy-to-like food (pulled pork, lobster, crab, etc.), of course you're going to enjoy it. What I liked about Haymaker's mac & cheese was how strong it was. The cheese they use is super sharp and pungent. Definitely enjoyed best in small bites. I'm not sure what the green stuff on top was, but I enjoyed it.
Drinks - 4/5 - Had a couple of cocktails and they will tasty and well made.
Service - 4/5 - This place is new, but the staff worked like a well-oiled machine.
Value - 4/5 - I'd say pricing was fair. It's not a deal, but certainly did not feel ripped off.
