    The formerly-delicious She-Crab Soup was a tasteless gooey mess, unworthy of SCK. The bar could use a champagne on their menu vs the insipid prosecco offered. A long-time customer, last evening was disappointing. Service was superb, however.

    My pork chop came out severely undercooked, raw in the middle. Has to send it back. Did not get a water refill promptly. But Ron our server was very friendly. Peach shortcake was my favorite.

    Good. Don’t sit by door to patio!! Constantly opening and hot air blows in your face. But food service always great.

    This is a great spot. Our waitress was not that great, but when I was leaving, even the manager was serving tables and acknowledged that I was leaving.

    Everything was so good. I treated my boyfriend for Father’s Day, and we ordered Caesar salad, charred okra, fried chicken and Nashville bites. It was so good. Our bartender with the glasses on, I can’t remember his name, it he was so good. His drinks were awesome! Will definitely be coming back.

    The food and service were great! We had to yell to hear each other, but that’s my only complaint. Worth it for the cornbread muffins and pimento cheese spread, though.

    Server was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I was glad to find that the chopped salad was actually chopped. The she crab soup was delicious.
