Katie FlynnJanuary 5, 2012Order with a friend and split the brussels sprouts, chicken wings, and the meatloaf sandwich. Killer comfort food!
The only place I know that forces me to eat a giant bowl of brussel sprouts to myself. They are that good. Also, meatloaf sandwich.- BasakFebruary 3, 2016Serious food coma and heartburn! Here we come! Get that amazing fried steak, mashed potatoes and cornbread!
NicoleMay 28, 2012The closest I've seen of real, Southern goodness in NYC. The brunch is the best, with little wait for tables.
Connor MontgomeryOctober 19, 2014Best biscuits I've ever had. Huuuuge portions and delicious cocktails.
Paul KernfeldNovember 30, 2014Southern food: biscuits, meatloaf sandwich, Mac and cheese. Watch for the large portions.- It gets pretty busy on Sundays but it's worth the wait.
Sarah NelsonMarch 20, 2013Meatloaf Sandwich + a Dr. Pepper cocktail- can't go wrong. huge portions, go splitsies for more sampling.
DietrichJuly 2, 2012portions are huge! so be hungry. and dont miss the fantastic cornbread with jalapeño and bacon!
when we roam when we roamAugust 2, 2015The meatloaf sandwich was so good. Boozy slushie - need I say more?
Mara LecocqOctober 25, 2014Hearty menu. Good stuff but always more on the heavy side. Really nice vibe though.
Chet ManciniJuly 15, 2013Meatloaf sandwich is great value--super tasty with the spicy chips and enormous.
I don't even know where to start. Everything is delicious. The wings and meatloaf sandwich are musts.
The pimms cup here is served in a pint glass filled with fruit and is the perfect refreshing summer cocktail
Daniela AsaroOctober 23, 2011The cornbread & biscuits are amazing. Go with a few people so you can sample as many things as possible.
Betty KangDecember 23, 2012For a more relaxed afternoon opt for brunch in the front room. The noise level in the dining room is deafening.
Sure, everything else is good, but right here is the best motherfuckin tater tot on the planet.

Some of the best southern food in the city. Order everything, but the chicken fried steak is special.
Tonia SammanMay 16, 2011don't be afraid to try the veal sweetbreads, they're heavenly! everything we've tried here is amazing though. (via Scoville) Read more
During brunch, can't go wrong with sharing a cinnamon bun and nomming on the chicken and waffles.
Alissa VladimirOctober 13, 2012Every dish here is a giant salt lick. Get a lot of water. You're gonna need it!!!
Marshall HMay 16, 2011If you order the delicious bacon & jalapeno cornbread, you can request to hold the bacon -- NOT recommended, but the option is available.
Vanessa LopezJuly 3, 2011Best. Brunch. Ever! Ham Steak is amazing. And try the donuts, delicious and not at all greasy.
