The restaurant was such a great vibe! The servers were great! The food was delicious! I loved the scenery it was really cute and definitely cozy. The food was comfort food to me, it tasted amazing. I loved everything about the food! The only thing I can say is that it can be a bit nosy , only due to the amount of people that came and it being really busy. But other than that , if you don’t mind the noise you better bring yourself down hereee and enjoy some great food!!

We went for Mother’s Day and everything was lovely. The drink I had was a bit overpriced because it wasn’t even a full glass. We had the shrimp etoufee and it was too salty. Everything else was SO gd. The mac & cheese, cornbread, fried green tomatoes, blue crab toast and the short ribs were all perfect. Will definitely be coming back here.

Great service I didn’t like what I ordered but it was my first time there and I tried the short ribs. Shrimp and grits were bomb and the shrimp and fish was yummy too. My son loved the Mac n cheese and I enjoyed the cornbread. Small menu but warm feel I’d go back.

My wife and I reserved a 5pm today for my birthday. Our server Noah was very attentive and accommodating. We had our drinks, cornbread, and starters within 20 minutes of sitting down. Everything was fresh and hot. The entrees were so large (like Thanksgiving plates) we both were able to take half our meal home which basically looks like an entire other meal. The desserts were insanely delicious and original. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. We could not get over how good everything was. Manager came to our table and was very kind! My wife was sad we hadn’t discovered this place sooner. They definitely have a forever customer in us.
