    We sat at little table outside in front but was close quarters with another loud table. Fried chicken was a bit over cooked, but good. Drinks pricey. Would go again but get table on porch which is more charming.

    Food and drinks were excellent! The inside and outside are so nice. Outside provided great people watching. Service was slow but I think it was just due to understaffing. Our server was great but seemed to be the only waiter. For our group of 7 it was tough for him. He did great tho!
