    This was our first time dining here and we enjoyed our experience. This is a cute and quaint restaurant with friendly staff, located on a quiet street in Newport Beach. Parking is on the street or in a nearby lot. We made reservations but decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was eager and enthusiastic to answer our menu questions. The fried green tomatoes as an appetizer are delicious. For dinner we had the ribs, super delicious, the meat fell off the bone. We also enjoyed the grilled Jidori chicken wrap, it was yummy too. The southern flair menu is unique with many options. This place is now on our repeat list.

    First impression wasn’t giving bc we were told to wait with a reservation but once we were seated ? AMAZING. Service was top notch, the manager came and checked on us our server was elite. When we told her we don’t eat pork she let us know the fries were fried in shared grease and helped us to find another option. The calamari was absolutely delicious and the biggest portion I’ve seen served for such a great price. We were skeptical about the cuisine being that we have roots in Louisiana but wow the flavor was amazing and the wine was very tasty but effective.

    Since discovering their smoked Prime Rib dinner (Fri-Sun), our frequency of visits has increased only to learn that this favorite may soon be going away. Maybe if they could get the word out they could sell more. Table tents, e-mail, menu inserts, server upsell. Also, we were delighted to have been given a $20 bounce back coupon good on our next visit. Unfortunately, it seems the coupon had already expired Jan 31.
