    A delicious meal and we even got to see FIFA game. The seating was near the bar so for us that night was perfect. The fried chicken is smoked and then fried which provides a moist yet crispy chicken. Best ever!!! They served honey with it which added the perfect touch. Also enjoyed the crispy fried green tomatoes with remolade and the creamy Mac and cheese with a crumb topping. Wow so good. Service was superb. Darius was friendly and guided us throughout dinner! Sorry I didn't take pics!

    Excellent experience. We had visited this restaurant when it first opened and had a very bad server experience. We decided to give it another try and are very happy to review with 5 stars. Our server, Shayna, was an absolute treasure. She presented very well, spoke in the correct volume and was perfectly attentive. The food was outstanding and the evening was a great success. Great job to Tony and the crew!
