    Not a very busy night mid-week on a cold day. Service was prompt and attentive. Food is excellent. The only knock is the menu doesn’t change. I am sure they could offer additional wonderful stuff seasonally. But a great place to go nonetheless.

    A very cute place with super service. We sat at the bar (requested) and ordered traditional southern fare - fried green tomatoes over grits (excellent), hot pimento cheese dip (very good - hubby likes it better than i did, but I’m used to it cold on a sandwich). For dinner we had the fried chicken (dark meat) and collards - both excellent, though next time I’ll request to leave off the honey dust, I would have preferred it without the hint of sweetness. Hubby ordered the pulled pork in confit - excellent on all fronts but be ready as it’s not “rich” but it’s a lot! And I had to try the biscuits with butter and blueberry j as a dessert (it’s a starter). The biscuits were as good as my momma makes and the butter was nice and whipped. Next time I’ll just order the biscuits with butter and honey - not that the blueberry was anything but lovely - just that’s they way I grew up ;) All in all - if you’ve got southern roots or want authentic southern cookin’ this will remind you of home!

    Sit by the window, best vista view of the Pisgah Mountains. The food was great and the service was excellent, friendly, and quick. Can’t say anything inferior about the whole experience.
