Came in to watch the game and get some wings and I have to say we had the sweetest server ever!! Her name was lauren and she was super welcoming, answered any questions we had, and was so on top of it :) we're going to come back just for the service she was great and the food was good too!

We come to Selma's for the Tuesday night trivia most weeks. The service is always amazing (Shout out to Carolina)! We always get a thin crust pizza and boneless wings, both good. They have Pliny the Elder on tap a lot, but a good selection of beers and seltzers as well

This pizza joint is located in a big plaza along with several other food places and a Lowe's. Lots of parking. They have a small patio and the interior is partitioned with a bar on one side and the dining area on the other with one side of the dining space having tables and the other booths. I arrived solo for an early dinner while they were still having happy hour prices. They are known for their deep dish pizza so I ordered a small one with pepperoni and black olives added to the cheese and tomato. Aside from a tall glass of water I also chose a glass of a red blend Kendall-Jackson wine. As an aside for any wine novices, I personally have found that vintner to consistently produce a decent, middle-of-the-road wine that family restaurants often have on their menu; you can't go wrong with that label. Deep dish is thick and takes a little longer to prepare but the wine kept me busy. Once the pie arrived, a slice was placed on my plate for me (the small size has four pieces total). The crust had the perfect crunch and I absolutely loved this pizza. With one slice left my attentive waitress brought a to-go box to my table but I waved her off; I ate the whole thing. It'd been a long time since I had deep dish pizza and it was a pleasure to devour.

This place was really good. We are picky with our pizza and theirs is pretty good. We had a few other items and all Were delicious. The thing my husband loved most is that they had a selection of the beers he likes. He's a wheat beer guy but doesn't care for the typical Shock Top or Blue moon that everyone carries. When they have German beers, it's a place we tend to frequent. The service was really good and we left talking about when we'd be returning. It's a little bit of a drive but we'd go return because we had such a good experience.

I have been coming here for 17 years -Wow! It's like Cheers for me only better. I love walking into the tap room and seeing Madi's smiling face as she asks me what will be my drink of choice be today. Madi and pretty much everyone in the tap room are always there for a good conversation even when it's super busy. Let's not forget when they host special beer nights, that is always a fun event. I hate to admit I only ever sit in the tap room but it's my place to go cause I know the food will always be good, the crew always friendly and helpful. Great place to watch football and pretty much any sport you like. Great place to meet up with family and friends too! And I'm proud to admit that during COVID while other places shut down, not Selma's, they survived and found a way to provide a safe place for us to go out & eat and even get some supplies. I'm a forever fan

Always a favorite and just why the service can make a big difference the success of the business. The service is always friendly, they recognize me, know my orders, and this last time I visited even made a new suggestion for the pesto pasta and my goodness was it delicious. my server recommended that a little feta cheese on top and she was spot on. This is a great place.

Sunday Breakfast!!!! (Football season only) Was definitely hesitant since I couldn't find any reviews or photos of the food besides on their Instagram that is a quick video of photos. Husband and I tried to give it a shot to catch some football and breakfast. It was amazing and they offer the full menu too! They offer bottomless mimosas which we didn't participate in but wanted to share for those looking for such things. My husband got the build your own breakfast pizza with egg, jalapeños, sausage and bacon. Absolutely delicious! No sauce or extra seasoning was needed. He did get the salsa on the side which wasn't the best but again they are pizza eatery so I wouldn't doc them for that. Because it's my favorite and they can execute a simple dish, I got the Turkey Bacon Avocado on a sun dried tomato wrap with the aioli on the side. I also requested the breakfast potatoes which I 100% prefer over the beer battered fries. I just only wish more were served. Maybe replace with the same amount of fries? Dip whichever potato style you get in their Jalapeño ranch but if you don't like spice their regular ranch is just as good! We plan on coming back for breakfast for sure!
