    Sat at the bar for brunch. Our bartender "T" was amazing. Drinks were delicious. The amount of food received for the $$$ was shocking, in a good way. Will be back soon for the Sunday dinner.

    I was expecting a nice quiet dinner but what I experienced was a club atmosphere. We sat there for over an hour before receiving our food. The drink options were very limited and most bottles were either empty or almost empty. The food was just ok. Fried fish was cooked in old grease, greens were salty, the Mac & Cheese was good though and the servers were friendly.

    Reservations has a nice vibe. The food and drinks are good. However, the servers/waitresses will be this establishment downfall. The wait time to receive water, drinks, condiments is ridiculous. I’ve been twice and the servers came to check us on every 45mins to an hour. I’m not sure if this policy for them but This is unacceptable!

    We had reservations at 3:15pm on Sunday May 5th. Checking in and being seated was nice and quick. After being seated, the server didn’t come to the table for about an hour. We watched servers take shots, drink and sing on the karaoke mic extremely loud. The table we were seated at was dirty. When the server finally arrived with waters, we asked her to wipe the table off. She did but she took a while to bring the waters back. We ordered our drinks and items from the soul food menu after she told us they were out of certain items. She came back thirty minutes later to say they were out of more items we ordered. She could have at least brought the drinks we ordered. At this point, we were all frustrated and we left. It was 4:57pm. I was visiting family in Memphis and this establishment was suggested to us. Maybe when I come back in a year or so, they will have it together.

    The decor was really nice, drinks were good, the server was friendly and the music was on point. Now the seating is off and whoever is in charger of reservations needs to have a clear understanding of how many people can sit comfortably at a table, I had a party of 8 and the place they sat us only sat about 5. When we finally were accommodated it took about 40 minutes to get serviced. We ordered a mimosa tower and it took another 30 to get that then she came back and said they were out of orange juice so we had to wait for that. The food also left something to be desired. The presentation of certain items were not appealing. For example the catfish and grits came with a small bowl of tasteless grits drowning in sea of butter and then the fish came on the side. No Cajun cream sauce, no diced peppers or onions, no cheese. It was bland and not what I was expecting for this kind of dish. It was giving if waffle house decided to sell catfish one day. The waffles were hard and cold, the chicken was salty, and they sell a smoke sausage sandwich you can make at home for about $15 with tax. If I come back it will definitely be to sit at the bar and catch the vibes, definitely not for food or the service.

    My wife and I have visited this establishment twice. Both times the food & drunks were excellent and a great value. The service staff was also excellent. They need to work on keeping parking lot clean, restrooms clean, and music at a medium level during the day. We fully recommend this restaurant.

    The restaurant has a great vibe to it. The food looked amazing online & based on those around us. The waitress/hostess were VERY nice & understanding. We waited about 10 mins before someone came to take our order. She brought back waters, but they did not taste good. We waited about 40 mins (without our alcoholic drinks or food) before we asked someone to bring our waitress over. Once she came, we let her know we had plans to be at another location and since we didn't have any of our order yet, we needed to leave. She was understanding and apologized. This rating is solely based on the fact we never got served after waiting almost an hour. The place was nice inside and the music was on point. This is a place you come if you have time to sit and chill.

    We were seated at a dirty table. The server was nice when we asked her to clean it. The food was good but we had to keep changing what we wanted because they were sold out of the first things we asked for. The music was extremely loud, so definitely not a spot for a date or friends outing where you want to talk and hear the people next to you.

    This was my second time going. The first time, they had given our booth away and the table they tried to give us wasn’t clean. We left. So I tried a second time, this time it wasn’t as crowded. The service was slow. I advise you put everything in at once so you do not have to wait because you have 2 hour time window before you have to leave. The food I will definitely give 5 stars. I had meatloaf, Mac and cheese, and sweet pot casserole.

    I had reservations at 7:30 last night to celebrate my birthday. I was not happy with the service. We arrived for our reservation on time and we got seated in about 15 mins. No biggie. We waited for our server for another 10-15mins. Placed orders and appetizers. We ordered our entrees when the apps came out. Our apps came out before waters or our drinks. Everyone got their food except me(the birthday girl). She brought the checks, I paid in cash ($105-Still no food). She offered to discount my meal and due to the fact I still had not gotten my meal even AFTER I paid for my food. Also my ticket was the only ticket that had gratuity on it. Our server was apologetic but did not do anything she stated she was going to do. We left around 10:15. As I was walking out she came with my food. Very disappointing experience. I hope my next visit is a better experience.

    First time dining with them. Excellent service, food and atmosphere! Our waitress and forgive me if I get this wrong but (Angel, Amy or Angela 🫣 I do know she has a light complexion, braids and a pretty gap) she was exceptionally great!! Very fun and pleasant attitude. Everything gets two thumbs up. Only recommendation I’d give is change the age requirement after a certain time.

    It was my 1st experience at that restaurant. The decor, beautiful. Live DJ, amazing. However, $120 for breakfast food and I didn't get my full order is a issue. It's great for a party but not at the price.

Booked on open table, when we arrived no one was there and stated the person on phone gave us wrong information. No greeting when we walked in . Food was to salty and the service is very slow. Will not be returning. Drinks were not good.

    I didn't even get a chance to eat. I made my reservation for 12 at the time they open. I got there a little early and I saw the employees going in. When it got closer to 12 someone came out and locked the door. She said they had a power outage and would be opening late. I had a party of 6. We decided to wait because we were told they might open at 12 30 or 12 45. Luckily they opened at 12 30. It looked nice when we walked in, but they didn't have anywhere big enough for our group of 6 to sit comfortably nor did they have half of the things on the menu. So we all got a drink and left. Now I will say the drink I had was pretty good. My two friends and I decided to try and go back 2 days later because we still wanted to try it. We get there and it's almost 1 o'clock. They're supposed to open at 12. We pulled up and the door was locked. They still weren't open. We went ahead and left. I probably will never come back here.

    The food was good. I don’t like how the waitress brought over a device for us to pay for the food without seeing a receipt first. All we saw was the amount. We paid for the food without knowing what the charges were and then was issued a receipt 20 minutes later after asking for one. There was a lot of cigar smoking from the security. The customers were also allowed to smoke marijuana in the restaurant. I had to leave at that point because the smell was overpowering. Although the food was good, I will not return because of the illegal activity and the way we were presented our total without a receipt.

    Didn’t know until I got there that the whole party had to be there before they would seat us. It took 30 minutes to get drinks and another hour and some minutes for food. They gave us plastic silverware. When we asked for something, it took the waitress 15 to 20 minutes to return.
