Everything was so delicious. We ordered the crispy turkey necks to start, chicken thighs, and oxtails. The turkey necks were fried perfectly, and the pepper jelly on it surprisingly worked really well with them. The chicken was falling off the bone and full of flavor. The oxtail was my least favorite of the night but still not bad at all (the gravy or jus was a little different). Tender. Serving sizes for everything were generous; we could’ve easily split one entree. We’ll be back!
