We cleaned our plates! The new sorghum pepper fried chicken was great. Our old standard of the honey dusted fried dark meat chicken was, as always, fabulous. We alllll had the collard greens- yummy! I tried the chicken tortilla soup as a side & I can't wait to have it again. Your sweet tea is the best in this area. (Being from the South, we think we're experts!)

Food was typical bar food with only one vegan option, a vegan burger, which was decent. Happy to have something I could eat. Didn't like that we were at a standing table, outside, in front of the stage but told we had to stay in our seat, couldn't even stand at the table with the chair right behind us. Last thing I want to do after sitting at a desk all day is sit and listen to a good band... let me move my legs just a little bit while staying at my table.
