Great meal! Fried chicken and shrimp n grits were delicious. Will go back to try other options. I like the initiative of first time restaurant staff and giving to the food bank. Off street parking is a bonus

My companions, who are French and serious about food, enjoyed the fried chicken and ribs combo plates. I had the jambalaya which could have been just a touch more moist. Severe a little surprised at the pricing of the top shelf bourbon but could have inquired before ordering. They noticed with interest the social mission of the restaurant and applauded it.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our food was very good except that my dish was a little too spicy for me. I had the shrimp and grits which was very good but spicy. I asked for less spicy and I’m not sure if that message was relayed to the kitchen staff. We will be coming back as I’m looking forward to having ribs

I was not impressed. The food arrived and was not hot. Sent several dishes back, which i never do. Cocktails were amazing but I would not return for a meal.

Hattie’s comfort food never misses the mark. Parking was easy for our guests. We had great food, great service, and the room with the beautiful bar was perfect for our group. A great place to eat before an event at the MVP Arena. We’ll be back!

Very good southern fare. Fried chicken, ribs, catfish all very tasty. Chicken and fish moist, ribs not quite fall off the bone, but tender with sticky sweet sauce lightly applied. Sweet potato fries very good. Cajun slaw just average. Attentive and polite service all around. Moderate crowd and not noisy but with a full house it could be. Nice decor reminds of Lombardos but brightly lit. A would dim the lights. Key lime pie was a big slice and good mix of sweet n tart. No drizzles added. Decent coffee and they have cafe du monde as an option. Very nice. New years eve, chose from standard menu.
