    Server wasn’t super personable. Shrimp & Grits ordered did not state an egg was included. I do not like eggs. I was able to get the egg off without it bursting on my food. The server didn’t make any mention of the solitary egg on a side plate. I could’ve complained, I suppose.

    Business lunch with group of 6. was much too loud to talk when we first sat down, and it was not crowded. Once the loud group left it was great. Atmosphere is fun, and food was terrific. 5 of 6 of us had something different and each raved about what they had. definite recommend.

    Terrible wouldnt even take my table. Had an 815 reservation I was running late due to horrible summer weather and they said kitchen closed at 845 pm on a saturday night!!! Happily took my birthday party of 8 to maxines...dropped a decent amount of money on food apps drinks and desserts. Plus their owner personally was there with live music. Way better than Dexter's
