This place never disappoints. If you’re looking for southern comfort food done right this is the place. We visit every time we come to Greenville. The sassafras chicken is one of our favorites. Shrimp and grits, salmon, steaks are all very good. Side dish choices are perfect accompaniments. The service and hospitality are spot on. Great daily specials. Very welcoming place.
