Can’t believe we waited so long to try this amazing spot! The food was delicious and the service was so accommodating. We had the Cobb salad and the loaded breakfast bowl. Our waitresses made sure our food was exactly right! The live jazz music was delightful. Loved seeing all the art work on the walls.

If you are in Marion, definitely stop by this bar! The atmosphere and service and drinks were top notch! And they had a singer (first name Josh) that sounded like Luke Combs. Josh was great in his own sense. Bartenders made us feel right at home.

If You haven't Checked out Spillway Bridge Co. In Marion,NC, Please Go. Four of us stepped in to listen to Orange Moon an Erykah Badu tribute act from Asheville, NC. Brought together by a mutual love for neo-soul, they aim to pay homage to the queen of the genre with their ultra-tight arrangements of Badu’s music & undeniably fun & engaging live show. Band members include Saara Maria (of Joomanji) on vocals, Eli Kahn (of After Ours) on bass/guitar, Charlie Evans (of Leisureville) on keys, and Joe Enright (of the HELLCRAB Ensemble) on drums. Meeting Saara, beautiful young woman sweet as can be and a voice that I believe Lady Badu would be very impressed with. Saara you performed beautifully thank you for sharing your gift with us. A real chill atmosphere, warm earthy colors, wood accents soft lighting, Variety of seating in side and outside from lounge couch to scattered bar seats.Walking through the establishment you can choose to enjoy seating inside or on the back covered deck decorated in the same warm turquoise and black colorful accents as inside. In this area was a place I didn't want to leave. So comfy. Well kept, clean in every area throughout. Not only the staff, customers were very friendly and we loved making new acquaintances. Every moment throughout the evening was enjoyable. Melissa was our Server. She brought professionalism, smiles,and laughs. The staff looked from my point of view, happy and well taken care of which in my opinion is very important in any career. The variety of Crafts, Beverages excellent. We all ordered Loaded Nachos chicken and Steak. Which I will highly recommend. I ate the chicken nachos, ohhh my goodness delicious. We will be back to enjoy other menu items, that's why we only gave 4 stars.... Met Rossi Martin the owner. Making his rounds to every customer checking to see if any one needed anything. One thing I love about this owner and we four all seen this, when an owner is helping out his staff and working alongside his workers.Not only that work ethic, Rossi also supported the band giving applause and a professional comfort to them. An extremely nice man asking questions around our experience through the evening, thanking us for coming in and inviting all four of us to return when we are exiting his establishment. We looked at each other and smiled ear to ear.....we will definitely be back and soon,often. We found a cool new place to go. Yay

Update- still love coming here for a relaxing drink on the deck after work. Great atmosphere for a drink. According to staff, live Bluegrass most Wednesday evenings and other music on other days. Small menu of appetizers, paninis and a shrimp skewer. Warm pimento cheese on warm bread bites was good. There's something for everyone... Dark beer, light beer, and harder stuff. Service always friendly. Indoor tables, sidewalk tables, and patio furniture on heated, covered, private back deck. I will definitely be back.
