My wife liked the fried chicken and I liked the smothered fried chicken. The peach cobbler was good, although my wife thought it was a bit too sweet. Our service was good. We appreciate the lady at our hotel who recommended Fixins’ We would recommend this restaurant for soul food.

Normally I do not eat at restaurants embedded in hotels. But, The Avery Kitchen is perhaps the best restaurant I've dined in that is located in a hotel. The menu has a good number and diversity of choices and the service was outstanding.
