    Not up to usual standards. Brisket was tough and was sent back. Replace with ribs that had very little taste in the rub and no bbq sauce

    We have been going to Sally’s for music for well over 01 years. The menu has not changed much in all that time And the food quality and service has never recovered from COVID. The band was fantastic!!!

    Southern cuisine at its finest! Make sure to ask for burnt ends and the brisket is amazing. Blackened catfish can't go wrong. Just a great restaurant with fabulous staff!

    The food was great and our server did go above and beyond to help us resolve our issue with parking. The problem was there was very few people in the restaurant and when we were sat it wasn’t a problem but once our food arrived (around 6:30) the band was so loud and aggressively sound checking that we could not even talk at our table! They said it was not normal and as we had our food it was too late to be moved. it was awful!

    Best Southern food in the North! Starting with the corn bread and moving on to the Shrimp & Grits and Pulled Pork Platter - our meals were excellent. This restaurant is a real gem and we're already looking forward to our next visit!
