Food was cooked very well but lacked seasoning, nothing had any taste, we both ordered the fried chicken over potatoes and garlic collards (had no taste of garlic), fried okra had no taste but was crispy. The biscuits were good and the crab soup was ok at best, with salt and pepper. It advertised outside dining, misleading, dining was in a well light setting with large windows to allow light. Restaurant was clean and presentable.

However, I really appreciated the chef coming out to talk with us and explain some of the dishes. I will definitely go back, but know the right questions to ask next time. Our server, Maya, was awesome and made the experience even better.

I went to the one in Avalon a few years ago when it opened and I heard all this hype on the fried chicken. It was awful, overcooked and dry. I never returned until last night at the one in Buckhead. Lo and behold it was overcooked, dry and I think the oil is old, it came out nearly black. Super disappointing. So this is officially now the last time. Do not recommend. This is the south and there is way better fried chicken nearly anywhere.
