    I took my daughter and family to see the Biltmore House and we ate at this restaurant. Our reservation was for 5:30, but we got there at 4:00. The host sat us anyway. I ordered the shrimp and grits 😋 It was superb! The brussel sprouts were delicious and amazing cornbread. I would definitely recommend anything on the menu.

    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.
