About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for brunch
The menu––created by Gatlin, Gatlin BBQ Executive Chef Michelle Wallace, and Fins & Feathers’ Chef de Cuisine Darius King––is a mouthwatering testament to traditional Southern fare’s modern inclusiveness. The expansive list of starters is sure to set the tone with Chargrilled Oysters to New Orleans BBQ Shrimp or try the Not My Momma’s Biscuits with seasonal jams. The Clucker is Gatlin’s spin on a charcuterie board. Their menu also includes head-turning soups and salads, showstopping Sandos, and an extensive list of entrees from fried chicken to catfish, all promising generous plates of nostalgia. It is the New South, in full possession of its delicious diversity.

    Not a Celebrity? Don’t Expect Good Service —— We were excited to try this place, but the experience was disappointing. It was slow when we arrived, and another group who came in after us (and were apparently “famous” and visiting from another country) got special treatment—greeted by the chef and served much faster. They finished eating before we even got our food, which arrived cold. When I brought it up, the server brushed it off. We came from across town looking forward to a good meal, but left feeling overlooked and unvalued. Not okay

    Had a great experience with family and friends. The food was good and the staff were very nice and friendly. The owner was also in the restaurant, helping with the kitchen and guests and it was good to see. I would recommend others to visit!

    Excellent establishment. Our waitress, Laurie was phenomenal, made us feel like family. Of course we tried the fried chicken and the biscuits and IT LIVES UP TO IT’S NAME as being the best in the area. Food across the board was delicious and fresh. The BBQ shrimp was superb. We also spoke to the owner, who is extremely personal and friendly. High recommend visiting this place. As “out-of-towners” we were pleased.

    Biscuits could win a world championship of biscuits, spectacular biscuits! Fried chicken and gumbo are very good just a tad on the salty side. Parking is tight but available.

    We had grilled oysters, fried catfish & oysters with sides of Cole slaw and creamed corn. Thanks to toppings, the grilled oysters were a bit dry. The fried catfish were overly coated to my taste. The fried oysters were quite good as was cole slaw. I stopped eating the creamed corn, advertised as house speciality, after one bite. Service was a bit slow, but very good overall. The above comments are likely driven by personal taste rather than absolute quality, as the restaurant was well patronized with people who were obviously enjoying themselves.

    The customer service and food was really good. I will be returning for the biscuits with all of the jams, chicken, fish and you absolutely can’t go wrong with any of the sides. Happy Eating 😊.
