The Fried Chicken Biscuit is unreal. Even better with hot sauce.

Brunch is pretty good and $5 for Mimosas are a no-brainer...

The cornbread they serve with the side of greens is amazing.
Doug WamplerDecember 31, 2014
The food is good, but the beer is outrageously expensive while selection is disappointing. In 2 visits, there has only been 1 table filled when entering. Spooky.

Good, bit not as good as bob white. Sorry, I do love you, but bob has my heart
VansiDecember 21, 2014
Though the food is ok. They are pretty generous with the bottomless mimosas.

$5 bottomless mimosas for brunch? Is this a dream or is this a dream

It's not on the menu, but you can order bone marrow!

we take most credit cards (visa, amex, master card), but no I-O-U's or checks... Cash is King Though.

BethJune 7, 2014
Food is mediocre and the service is absolutely terrible. Waitress never came over after hastily taking the order. After giving this place numerous chances I will not be back. Save your money!

The fried & smothered pork chops are why I'm fat.
Ha DiemAugust 17, 2014
Food was okay, but the service was horrible. Went during brunch and they were out of everything (Mimosas, steak, pork chops, etc.) Would not recommend.

Been here for an hour & no food delivered. Host admitted they messed up, but after half hour still no food! Wow, could be a record in my book
Scott MarsdenJuly 14, 2013
The service could use some work.
