Even though the service could've been a little better, the food is always top tier. I ordered the Southern Plate once again, and it was delicious and had a great presentation. I also ordered the Biscuit Basket again, and the Biscuits are always so moist and cakey. I love their taste.

This is was my first time eating, as I usually do takeout. I was very satisfied with my service with Mario. He was attentive and went above and beyond. The food was amazing. My friends and I will sure be back.
Food we enjoyed: Deviled eggs, fried green tomatoes, the fish fry, pot roast and grits (FAV) and salmon croquettes.

They could use more servers as the place is really popular. On that note, our server forgot to put in our order so an hour later we were famished and attitudinal. The Manager however comped our delicious meal (shrimp /grits and the French toast ) without any hesitation. The decor is beautiful and the food is great. They just need more waitstaff.

The restaurant allows a 90 minute dining experience. I recommend not purchasing the unlimited mimosas, at $30 person. The champagne isn’t table side and you must wait for your server to notice that you require a refill .
I will return however, the noise level is loud, the wait staff is attentive. The food was service was great.
