Michael PhillipsAugust 17, 2014My girlfriend and I have been here at least five or six times and this has become one of our favorite restaurants. The Fried Pickles and Jalepeños, Lowcountry Shrimp and Grits are excellent!
Adam SmithJune 4, 2017The fried green tomato appetizer is amazing. Pimento cheese on top. Overall this place is good, but can get a little pricey depending on how much your order or the size of your party. But overall👍🏼
I come here ALL the time when intown, best $5.00 you-call-it Happy Hour & Order the chicken tacos, Holy Sh*t, I just finally did. Why was I not doing this before? The Flavor balance is perfect.

Trent'sOctober 22, 2012Wicked good best $7.25 chicken biscuit and grits and for later they have Ranger IPA ON draft too
If you go hotter than Med on the wings make sure you got extra blue cheese on hand to counter the HOT.
Clay ChastainMay 30, 2012Service can be slow, but the food is great. The crab cake eggs Benedict is a game changer.
3 Grilled Lobster Tails + 2 sides for $20 on Thursday Nights!
Caitlyn JohnsonJuly 19, 2012This place is wonderful. The servers are nice, and the food is to die for.
Rodger & Bobby are now serving local, homemade icecream by Charleston Creamery. Delicious!!
Ashley ColemanSeptember 22, 2013I just ate eggs with crab, shrimp and scallops. I can die a happy lady.
Craig DJune 28, 2014Have been several times and enjoyed. Just had a very poor experience though. Portions were small and over cooked. We were very disappointed this time. Hopefully will be better in the future.
Suzy EvansSeptember 25, 2011The best grits ever!! Creamy goodness. They can't seem to make hot coffee- luke warm...
