    Two of us ordered chicken and two ordered the ribs. Chix was good, but ribs were cold and covered in generic, goopy bbq sauce that didn't manage to cover up the fact that the meat was dry and flavorless. Smoked ribs? Hardly. More like expensive taste of disappointment.

    Great food. Horrible service. Server was not friendly at any point and rushed us out the door. Half our table was still eating when to go boxes and checks were brought to the table.

    A little loud, but great service and great food. Fried Chicken dinner was amazing and could easily be split. We both took half to go.

    Relative recommended and it did not disappoint. So delicious. Pimento cheese app, steelhead trout, chicken and waffles, pecan and rhubarb pies, don’t think you can go wrong with anything you order.

    The staff were all amazing, so friendly. The food was beyond delicious. The only negative was the table behind us who let their child be excessively loud, but that is not the fault of the staff.

    We requested a booth under the reservation. When they opened we were nearly first in line and the whole restaurant was empty. The hostess gave only gave us a choice of bar top seating. No option for a table or a booth. The party in back of us were given a booth. That was so frustrating and rude. The hostess had a gray bob with purple highlights. That should of never happened.
