    This was my third time. Table was ready for our reservation. Place was packed for Sunday brunch. Service attentive. Fried chicken and waffles always good. Gravy a bit peppery for the biscuits and gravy. Overall good.

    Hard to describe how bland the food was. Nice place but not one single thing we ordered was even remotely good. We got the duck and the pork chops. Awful. Even the choc pecan dessert was just bland and not good. Idk. I read reviews like this and think they are fake. All I can say is try it for yourself. Best of luck. It was not good at all for us and we won’t be back.

    The vibe there is very cool. We started with the biscuits which were amazing. The fried chicken is spot on and the shrimp and grits are a must if you like that dish. We sat in the bar and the bartender was attentive and made one heck of an Old Fashion. We’ll be back.

    This is one if our favorite places to eat. Delicious and elevated comfort food. The biscuits are a must have appetizer, the honey chicken jus for dipping is amazing. We had the pressed chicken, juicy and tender and the shrimp and grits, savory and spicy. The sweet tea brined fried chicken is also excellent. I honestly don't think you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The service is great, friendly and attentive.
