Service was a bit slow and food was just ok. Got the wings, devilish eggs and burger and not sure would any but burger again. Wings were grilled black and their take on deviled eggs cured with beets tasted odd

We had the spiked tea, crab cakes appetizer, crab dip, and bucket of fried catfish. The catfish was a bit too salty and you really needed to be squeeze a lot of lemon on it to counter the salt. Otherwise it was great!

I was really excited about going here for brunch and was a little let down. The waiter didn’t take our order for at least 20 minutes and didn’t even update us when something we had ordered was sold out. We didn’t find out until we asked where it was. It took 50 minutes for the food to come out with no update at all from our waiter. The waiter was really nice but didn’t update us at all. The food was good though. I’ll definitely go back and hope for better service next time.

We arrived earlier than our reservation and was seated a few minutes after our reservation time. The noise level is loud and the dining area is fairly small but cozy. The table service was great. Recommended the catfish and it was awesome. The skillet steak was tasty but hard to justify the cost of $40. Biscuits came out warm. Didn’t expect them to be sweet but they were yummy. Drinks galore, hard to choose with the variety. We opted for seasonal crumble pie which was apple pie and for $4 more you get a small scoop of ice cream. Again, a bit pricey for the amount given. I would go again for the catfish.
