    We brought my brother and sister-in-law here for the first time on 2/15/25. Our server Merrick (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was great! Phenomenal dinner, food came out quickly and was delicious. The guys got whole chickens and my sister in law got the chicken sandwich. We ordered fries, spoon bread, succotash, horseradish mashed potatoes, shrimps and grit and macaroni and cheese. We had a lot left over but they wanted to try everything. Last night, the shrimps and grits stole the show though, 10/10! Our only issue, I hate to mention it because we had such a wonderful time but since I am deaf in one ear I feel it may be helpful to someone else; we were seated under a speaker and the music was so loud. So if you’re going and you have hearing issues, maybe ask not to be seated close to where their speakers are. Highly recommend if you love quick, efficient service and pipin hot, yummy food!

    We had an amazing brunch this morning. The deviled eggs were so tasty. The lemon ricotta pancakes that my MIL had were delicious. The goetta breakfast that my wife and I had was the best breakfast we have had in a long time. Service was excellent with Caitlin.

    Had a wonderful experience! We had to wait just a little later than our reservation and the manager came over and handled it wonderfully and bought us dessert! It was so sweet and made my little girls night! We didn’t even complain about waiting and she was just the sweetest!
