    Experienced Anson for first time, and I must say I could kick myself for not going before now. It was wonderful! Our waiter Paul was excellent with recommendations, and the GM checked with guests as well. Both were very attentive and made my husband and I feel welcomed AND the meal/cocktails were fabulous.

    Taste of food was excellent along with service! You need to specify where you want to sit because there is quality of seating spaces ranging from a “2” to a “10”. We got stuck in about a “3” level by the door.

    We had an amazing meal! I had the supper juicy and crispy fried chicken and collard greens that were absolutely scrumptious. I also had macaroni and cheese but while it was good it was also pretty typical standard macaroni and cheese. My husband had meatloaf and mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy and he said it was also delicious. He tried my fried chicken and greens and said he did prefer that meal over his. That just shows how absolutely amazing their fried chicken and collard greens are! Definitely cannot go wrong with that meal!!!
