She Crab soup, salad and fried chicken were good as always. Disappointed that fried green tomatoes were with goat cheese now- wish there was a non goat cheese option. So dinner was good, service was fine.

Only 2 came out before entrees and 45 mins after we ordered the apps, they were ran to another table. They still charged for a soup even though it came out after we got our entrees. They threw away our birthday cake box and only gave back one slice after we asked how many were left(waiter said three). Said someone must have thrown a cake we brought in away. Server was terrible throughout the night and forgot basic steps of service. We love your midtown and buckhead location, but we will not be attending this location again. We didn’t even get a free drink for the inconvenience, and as previously stated charged full price for a soup that came after entrees (which the server said out loud the soup will come before the apps) . Very badly managed in many many ways over and over. I have never emailed a review to open table, but the service and common sense from a management standpoint was honestly that bad. They asked if we wanted to take the food that didn’t come off the bill or leave it on. Weird question bc the food didn’t come out. We were in the opposite of a rush As well, but after 45 mins- hour of no soup and missing 4 apps is pretty bad. But thanks for making my wife’s birthday memorable!

The fried Gouda Fritters used to be my favorite thing on the menu, but this time they were not a flavorful and they were drowned in sauce. Literally drenched and pooled in the plate. The she crab soup was delicious. The old fashioned were really good. The pear apple salad was missing pears and I was given a butter knife to cut the full leaves of lettuce and the added chicken. I expected more chicken for a $10 up charge. It wasn’t even a quarter of a breast size. My date did not like the grits, but did not complain. Overall, it was a mediocre experience.
