    Consistently one of the best food experiences in DFW. We always love taking family and friends for their first time. Excellent service for our large party and the food was well paced. The lamb rigatoni and the short rib (from the current menu) are amazing. And the gumbo is the best anywhere!

    My parents, my son and I came for lunch on December 21, 2024, for my son's birthday. We opted to order off the menu. We all had different entrees, and we loved them. My son devoured the pancakes, I was in heaven with the chicken fried steak. My dad had one of the burgers and my mother had the chicken and biscuit. We raved about our meals. Service was wonderful. Wish i could remember her name. Very sweet and knowledgeable. Will be my son's and my go to restaurant when I am back in the area. Thank you!!!!!

    This was our first time here. This place was amazing. We came for brunch. Our server was amazing. We had a party of 6. Me and another guest had Fried Chicken and Waffles. It was the bomb. We tried the crème burlee waffles. Also amazing. Another guest had the Chicken biscuit sandwich. It was huge and looked appetizing. When we are back in Dallas we will be coming here again.
