    Try the crispy baby back ribs with the spicy sauce, a must! I had the fried chicken special, 4 crispy fried chicken parts with whip potatoes and corn succotash, suburb! My friend had the shrimp and grits, and stated it was the best grits she has ever had. The 3rd member of our party had the Wednesday Special, which included a salad or soup and Braised Pork Pappardelle, she smiled during the entire dinner! Good Food, excellent staff and very enjoyable dinner with my friends. Thank You Ata!

    The food was mediocre at the Sunday buffet - overdone pasta and dry chicken. And at $65/person it was a disappointment
