Our server Byron was great, real southern hospitality! Shrimp and grits were delicious (i’m going back for those) catfish and cornbread two thumbs up. Me personally, not a big fan of the mac & cheese, but my mom loved it so cool. Didn’t really care for the greens either but, that’s just me. Mimosa with the peach ice cubes amazing! After ordering our meal, we we received our food within 15 to 20 minutes very quick and hot. Too full for dessert. I/we’re definitely going back again…….soon, There’s some mo stuff I want to try.
