    Visited this spot on a Thursday night. Food was great. I love the oxtails and grits however I did swap out the grits for rice due to the sweetness of the jimmy red sauce. Would def recommend and I’ll be back. Oh and my friend got the snapper and it was amazing

    My new fave bar in Philly! Amazing food - we ordered all three items off the menu and they were 10/10. The best being the salmon bites. Drinks were great (and strong), service was awesome. Literally had the best night out in a while. Thanks, Midnight & The Wicked!! We’ll be back :)
