"Since the place is called Dumplins, I expected their dumplings to be fantastic, so we ordered chicken and dumplings with a side salad, shrimp and grits with a side salad, and an apple dumpling to take home for dessert. The shrimp and grits were quite tasty, and I appreciated the addition of bacon, which enhanced the flavor. However, I would prefer the bacon to be chopped into smaller pieces rather than served in whole strips, as it was tricky to cut it into bite-sized pieces. Overall, it was enjoyable, and I do recommend it.
On the other hand, the chicken and dumplings were disappointing and lacked flavor. It seemed like canned chicken was used, and the dish was missing both taste and consistency. We didn’t finish it, so I cannot recommend this dish.
As for the apple dumpling, we started eating it on our drive home. Unfortunately, it was very doughy, as if it hadn’t been baked all the way through. When we got home, I put it in the oven to bake further, but it didn’t improve, so we ended up throwing the rest away.
I’ll definitely return for their other desserts, but I won't be ordering the regular food again."
