Juniper On Main - Carmel

As for the food, we were left disappointed. The pimento cheese had a good flavor, but it was much runnier than it should have been. It came with some delicious naan, but there wasn’t nearly enough to eat with even half of the cheese. I can’t resist ordering shrimp and grits wherever I see it on a menu, but the Charleston shrimp and grits was just mediocre. The shrimp was overcooked and had a strong fishy taste, while the sauce was excessively rich and overly abundant. The sausage was decent, and the grits were acceptable, but nothing exceptional. The low country boil was overly heavy on potatoes. The shrimp was again overcooked and fishy. The dipping butter tasted like imitation movie theater butter. Overall, I wouldn’t return. While the setting was enjoyable, the prices on the menu seemed reasonable, but the quality of the food did not justify the cost.

This restaurant is fantastic! The food is delicious, the wait staff is friendly, and the outdoor patio is charming, all located in downtown Carmel. They offer excellent lunch and brunch beverages, a kids' menu, and a convenient location with parking. I will definitely return!

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. My meal was very dry and lacked seasoning, and the customer service was rude. I regretted spending my hard-earned money on lunch. However, I must say that the hummingbird cake was delicious, and I would recommend it. I called the restaurant to share my frustration about the Sea Island platter with Maddyline, the waitress, but she was dismissive and hurried me off the phone. As for the vegetarian options, they were also very dry and underseasoned. Overall, I really did not enjoy my lunch.

Very good food. However, disappointed in getting seated as a walk up. 90 min wait. Young lady over heard that we had to get going and leave. And she immediately ask us for our name and stated that we were next. Maybe we should of stated that we were leaving sooner. Otherwise, it was good food and great service.

My group of 7 enjoyed our experience. The shares appetizers of fried green tomatoes, corn bread and Brussel sprouts was excellent. The garden salad wasfresh tasting. I got the Buffalo Mac and cheese which was good but the chicken was slightly chewy for my taste. My boyfriend had the hummingbird cake which he said was excellent. We sat outside which was great but the air conditioner was close by and kind of loud
