We had a large group and we had to change the number of people and time of our reservation more than once, but SCK accommodated us without any problems. The waitress was very knowledgeable about the food and wine, friendly, and so patient with our group of 10+. The food was very delicious. We ordered a lot of items off the appetizer (fried green tomatoes, onion tart, etc.) and the side menu (mac n' cheese, collard green something), and dinner menu (fried chicken and shrimp n' grits, etc.). Everything we ordered was fantastic.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMConsistentConsistent....food!

I had the I-75 and my husband had southern thyme lemonade. Both were very good. We had the vidalia onion tart for a starter. Served with corn bread and biscuits. Cornbread good - made with kernel corn = but it is sweet cornbread. Biscuits were among the best I have ever had. I had the fish special - pan fried flounder. Cooked perfectly - no breading - just well cooked fish. Served over a perfectly creamy english pea risotto. Husband won tho - he had perfectly fried buttermilk fried chicken served over real mashed potatoes and collard greens even people who don't like collard greens would like.

The green tomatoes were perfectly crusted and had a great sauce. The pork belly came with one of the best salad that I've ever had. It was acidic and crunchy and spicy all at once.

Yum!3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMNoisy...but worth it!Our server was terrific which somewhat overcame our problem with the incredibly noisy atmosphere.
