    I actually prefer the vegetarian chicken! Add the hot sauce. Try the chicken and waffles sandwich if you are bored of the regular one.

    Chilled during the day, good fun and good music at night esp. on weekends. Classic chicken and waffle is ace.

    The pulled pork is so tasty, as is the cold drip coffee (cold brew).

    You obviously come for the chicken & waffle sandwich! To try something different, get the smoked white chicken chili.

    Service & drinks are great - but the new chef needs some time to get things right. They clearly made a batch of chicken and waffles ahead of time - and it sat under a heat lamp. So disappointed.

    Fairly pricey for chicken and waffles but overall it’s worth it! I wanted the Nashville hot chicken one but unfortunately they don’t serve it in the morning

    The Shrimp & Grits are devine. Make reservations in weekend or best to come early/late with parties less than 4.

    All vegetarians beware, I ordered the fake chicken and waffles and they gave me the real version. I showed the guy and he convinced me it was fake and I took several bites and brought it back.
