Our waiter was excellent and made sure we never ran out of sodas! The food portions are huge for the happy hour, and we ended up with more food than we could eat. Definitely get the fried green tomatoes. I didn’t give the food five stars because the broccolini was undercooked. But I would definitely go back there again
