The food was amazing! The portions were a great size and the food was fresh. I bought a bottle of the house hot sauce because it was that good. Only critique I had was that the mimosas we ordered (4, 2 for me, 2 for my date) weren't good enough to justify the $11 price tag.

The food was inconsistent, I've been there several time and ordered the same two items, Grits and shrimp and Chicken &Waffles, this time the chicken was not the dark brown as before, it was not as crispy as before and the waffle was kinda soft, the shrimp and grits taste was good but one part of the dish was cold, another warm and another cold, each spoonful was different temperature, it seem like it was not made fresh but was heated up in the microwave and some of it did not heat well. This is not acceptable because the price of the food is high, my expectation of the food should be of the same quality, in this case in my experience it was inconsistent with my previous visits.

The food was tasty and decently priced. Was a bit noisy, but that's to be expected in this type of restaurant (not that it's a bad thing!) The server(s) were good, but took a little long getting to our table post-dinner, and dropped the check without asking if we wanted dessert. I'd recommend this place for sure, especially the shrimp and grits. Biscuits were on point too.

Service was slow with no follow up at bar. Prices were ridiculous to say the least and enough to keep me from returning unfortunately.

Food was delicious. Our server was super nice and attentive from the very beginning. He brought me to me table and was very lovely. The biscuits were outstanding and that's saying a lot, I'm dating a southern boy! They have his stamp of approval. We'll be back for some more chicken buckets!
