Stacy H. • May 24, 2018We picked up the cornbread (perfect!) and the fried peanuts and watermelon. Both were excellent choices.

Andrew • November 19, 2015Fried green tomatoes were the Chef's first signature dish and perfect for two to share… you'll want to share to save room for dessert!

Ellen S. • March 26, 2015The fried chicken is crispy and perfectly cooked. Save room for dessert: the tarts and pies are warm and yummy.

Isa L. • February 27, 2020Proof that the “classics” like hangar steak, wedge salad & biscuits can be sublime if perfectly executed! Yum!!!

Chuq Y. • August 17, 2010The fried chicken is fried chicken wings. I'd recommend that with collard greens and mac & cheese. It's enough for two meals!
