    Best biscuits and gravy you can get above the Mason-Dixon Line.

    The pork and onion sandwich tasted like onion and the egg sandwich tasted like salt. The biscuits are ok, but elevated with their jams. Skip the savory options and head to the sweets!

    Noting to write home about. The biscuits are good. The complicated filings overshadow the biscuits. Best to stick with the simple ones.

    No public restroom available. This is legal bc they have 18 seats only (19 is the minimum amount).

    Overpriced for average biscuits. Chicken was over fried. Needed extra honey. Oxtail=meh. Banana pudding=decent. All biscuits were over baked. Edible, but won't recommend.

    Personally didn't think there was anything special about this place. Granted they just opened but the cooking time was extremely slow and unorganized. They were also out of many items. Bad start.
