One of the best restaurants in the area. Every time I come here the food is excellent. The brisket, Mac and cheese, burger, brussels sprouts, and cobbler are some of my favorites. Looking forward to the next time.

I brought a group of colleagues from out of town here and it was a great experience. They loved the food and could not stop talking about it afterwards. Our waiter was just fantastic!

We tried the Taste of the South. It was more than enough for 3 people. It had every dish we wanted to try, and we were willing to add additional dishes to try as well, but there’s plenty of food. It was well worth the price ($45 per adult) and when combined with the InKind app savings it was even more affordable. We saved money, earned cash back and made new reservations the same day.

Our server was amazing. She anticipated our needs ahead of time, had a genuinely cheerful attitude, checked on us at good intervals, and got all of the orders correct. One of the best waitresses there. Thank you!! Football games galore around the restaurant. A relaxing great time had by the whole family.

We were meeting out of towners and wanted to be able to hear each other. Mystic filled the bill. We did Bruch. Started with the calamari and shrimp. It was delicious but small for a party of 4. Ordered the ribs, good flavor and fell off the bone, shrimp po boy and crab cakes. Got to get a bite of everything and enjoyed it all! Ended with chocolate mousse and bread pudding, yummy.
