- Jacqueline HMay 30, 2013Wonderful BLT with fried green tomato and chipolte mayo.. we prefer our traditional bbq but it was a must to at least try the Charleston bbq with mustard based sauce
Saturday brunch is fantastic with bottomless mimosas. The French toast is excellent! If you want a more "old southern" feel, ask to sit upstairs for a quieter environment!
Josh ColeMarch 6, 2013Wow, great southern food. Fried green tomatoes, she crab soup, and shrimp and grits were all excellent! Five stars!
Def come here for their breakfast menu. It's cheap and amazing. Best deal in charleston.
Stephen GrantMarch 25, 2012Oh my gosh... The shrimp poboy is amazing! With deep fried shrimp, sweet potato fries, and coleslaw. Mmmm.
Crystal DavisOctober 5, 2018What went wrong?· Brunch reservation wasn't ready for our group· 10:30am and out of fried chicken· Took 1hr to get food · Several other tables came in after us but ate before us- Shaheen LokhandwalaDecember 28, 2013Disappointed by the Mac and cheese. Shrimp and grits and she crab soup are awesome.
Daniella SteelOctober 23, 2015Honestly the best restaurant in town, I almost cry when I get to m eat here!
Kevin LillyMay 24, 2014Average... Mac & Cheese was okay, not the "best ever" as someone else posted. Grilled cheese was great, tomato soup was like marinara... Mimosas were plentiful :) overall average food experience- Melinda LynchMay 1, 2011Try the shrimp & grits ... AMAZING! Oh and definitely make sure Shannon is your waitress! She's awesome! :)
Meredith WrightOctober 18, 2012Whatever you do, Do NOT get the Chicken and Dumplins! They are nothing like your grandmama used to make. Everything else is great but they missed the mark on this dish. Sad.
- The StoudenmireDecember 17, 2010Can't decide on a delicious side? Try the Farmer's Dish. Four sides at one time. mmmm
- Angela PilsonMarch 10, 2013Waiting an hour for our food and still nothing. Server doesn't come check on us, didn't introduce herself, barely explains or apologizes for the extended wait. Takes her time getting us a box. Not ok.
