The food was amazing. The server was delightful. It’s Southern cooking so remember they take their time so don’t expect rapid service. It took quite sometime to get our cocktails which were delicious. I finally cancelled my second drink because it wasn’t delivered by the time we had finished our meals.

Excellent time with family! Had several apps, entrees, and drinks. Too full for dessert, but BLT app and ribs are must-tries.

Was a special birthday celebration. Birthday guest ordered food a certain way, no regard was given to the way we ordered. Happened 5x. We were planning to tip 3X the amount... but there 2as no apology and at one point when asked for the bill, the server rolled his eyes and appeared agitated. He was serving another 25 person party but after circling the building the building 6x to look for parking, paying a $200 bill and getting service/food that was subpar... won't be pack... the birthday guest said her burger want cooked right and she didn't have a good time and wouldn't return, so this experience was times two.
