PATIO IS FOR WALK IN ONLY. RESERVATIONS ARE FOR INSIDE DINING.Fried Chicken: all natural, secret brine and breading, and spicy honey. We start with cage free, free roaming, all natural chicken. It’s brined, dredged, then dropped into custom-built fryers. Its got a little kick and is served with our house made hot honey. Our sides are modern takes on down-home favorites. Made in house every day.The lively atmosphere is relaxed and upbeat — driven by a blues heavy soundtrack.

The aesthetics were very nice, the food was amazing and our waitress Raizel was outstanding. I had the Pancake Tacos and my daughter had the Brie Stuffed French Toast. The pancake was amazing and fluffy, not dense and heavy. It was filled with egg, crumbled sausage, bacon and a little cheese…delicious! My daughter had the Brie Stuffed French Toast with Berries which was a nice mixture of sweet with savory of the Brie! Also quite delicious! Our waitress was friendly and professional, she was attentive without being overbearing. Will definitely be going back and asking specifically for Raizel!

Get a reservation! The food is top shelf, the servers are knowledgeable and the drinks are fantastic! We went for brunch before a Colts game and had an awesome time! The mimosa flight was a great suggestion and the DJ had a groove mix working. Parking can be a challenge thanks to their territorial neighbors, but it’s downtown so you just have to figure it out. 5 stars on every level!

The cocktails were all prepared really well, the relish tray was the perfect amount for the 5 of us, and our brunch dishes (3 Benedicts, a brisket hash, and the omlette) were all delicious. Catherine took care of us and shifted her position when she noticed that my dad couldn't hear her. That's a level of attention that many don't have (people, let alone busy servers)!
