    The food continues to be mediocre. Made reservations with special requests for outdoor seating and they couldn’t accommodate - that’s fine I can get over that. But two people in the group wanted the biscuit gravy skillet and the server said it wouldn’t be available for another 30 minutes, mind you we were there 2 hours after they had already been opened. I ordered the chicken and waffles and the chicken was literally a whole half of bone in chicken on top of a waffle that I had pick apart with my hands. That was a first. Been there for dinner, now for brunch and this will most likely be our last attempt eating here.
