    Solid food, good drinks and service. Just a little loud and a slightly dated interior.

    Friendly greeting when we walked in. Attentive and polite service. Fabulous fried chicken and sides. Only problem is we ate too much, because everything was so good!

    Wonderful southern elegance for an Easter brunch. Fried green tomatoes, pimento cheese and biscuits and gravy were all 5-star dishes. A wonderful experience!
