    My 2nd time having a perfect meeting here on a Sunday afternoon. My guests arrived a bit later then expected and unexpectedly, had 2 kids. Staff was able to accommodate us in the outside area, as reserved, but in a section that was quiet and unobtrusive to other guests. Between the 2 visits we've enjoyed the shrimp po boy, bone-in fried chicken, classic chicken & waffles, fried pickles. banana pudding, and the specialty "Sips". All tasted like my grandma from SC used to make. I'd lived in NY for decades before NC - trust & believe this is legit, well-seasoned southern food!!! Not a fan of the crust on the fried green tomatoes though. Staff is attentive, professional, and kind. Our server, Austin, was amazing. Good, casual vibes: church folk, homegirls, tourists, locals, familes, and dates. I highly recommend and can't wait to return!
