We were seated in a timely manner and waited on within a reasonable time. Our waiter was excellent. Food was good, just had to wait on the shrimp and grits so probably could have waited to bring everything at once. Overall an excellent night out with family from out of town. They were. Impressed.

Restaurant was out of cornbread; however, the chef personally gave us some on the way out from brunch. Wish they offered real maple syrup. Appreciate if butter was not in disposable packaging (to help with environment). Chicken and waffles were good. Yams were a bit sweet; however good recipe and enjoyed them.
