It was basically empty when we went which is a shame because the food was truly so good.

Very nice location. Once entered the establishment we were greeted immediately and given a table. I got the featured special of ribs with potato and veggie. I also got the soup of the day and it was fantastic and amazing portion. Also got their In house beer. The ribs were slow cooked and fell off the bone. The portions were very good size. Overall I was left impressed with my service.

Love the shire, been coming here since I was a kid. Faith is amazing, usually a brunette serves us everytime we go aswell. Amazing staff, amazing food, amazing everything. Love the shire!!! go to date night spot.

Had a wonderful breakfast with family. It's a very busy place but I can see why as the food was great and the service was lovely. A great choice for a Sunday breakfast with your friends or family.

Great place to go. Fair prices, and they fill your plate. Our family has been going here for years. We've always enjoyed having our own personal carafe of coffee for our table. Be patient with the service, though. Depending on the time of day, it could be a little wait for a host/hostess, clean table, silverware, or wait time for your bill. The staff are always busy. It's worth the wait, and locals know it, I feel.

I have only been to The Shire for breakfast but it is a great place to sit down and have a nice meal. The prices are good and so is the coffee!

My cousin works here. Her family comes in often to support her. The food is always delicious and of course, the service is great! Highly recommended!

We popped in because we liked the name and we very satisfied with our experience. Portions were a good size (we left full) and tasty, service was prompt, clean, not loud so conversation could be had. I would recommend.
