    The food was amazing. Highly recommend the bone marrow, crab fried rice, Brussel sprouts, Caesar salad and tuna crispy rice. We went for our wedding anniversary and everyone who came to our table with food and drinks congratulated us including the owner who came over to introduce himself and make sure everything was going well. The whole restaurant had great energy and music, all the employees seemed like they were having fun. We will definitely go back soon.

    Wayne was very friendly and attentive. He had a great sense is humor, too. The food was good home cooking. Nothing fancy - eggs, bacon, grits, but all well done. This was our second visit and we would definitely return.

    The host staff was good, the ambience was fun (loud), which we expected, food was good, line dance instructor was good, restroom attendant was very friendly. The big let down was that our server did a minimal job at best. We sat with empty beverages for too long and had to seek her out to get service.
