Great food at a reasonable price with great service. Catfish, burger, and wings were exceptional. Hoppin John and Mac and cheese were great.

Great ambience created by the decor plus the live DJ playing old school music. The food was very delicious and exceeded my expectations.

I want to love this place but is a meh for me. While the vibe is always on point, the food is just ok. The options are limited, and the prices are a bit steep for what's offered. I would most likely just go there for drinks and socializing if I go again. Our waiter was A+ though

I had a party of 10 that I reserved for at the beginning of October. We were seated late because the people in front of us were a bit over time (what can you do). They seemed in a rush to seat us which I can understand. We had to as for table wear. We ordered drinks first but they came about 20 minutes later and our food was served by 2:30 (we sat at 1:30). The food was decent and worth the price. We had to send the chicken back. I had bottomless mimosas and my glass was always full. Our waiter and overall staff were polite. I don’t recommend bringing kids because the music is not clean.

Was great! Vibe was awesome. The tamales were cold on the inside & our server forgot about us. But i definitely will go back to give them another chance, because although the server forgot about us, his personality was GREAT!

The food was amazing but the service was so bad. We waited 20 minutes for our drinks while the place was half full. Our expresso martinis were waiting at the bar for 10 minutes when I asked the waiter if they were ours. $17 for the worst expresso martini I’ve ever had after we were already done with our food. I was really excited to try this place and the food was really good, but the service and drinks were so bad that I’ll definitely not be back. I never write bad reviews, but I feel like I have to here.

Food came out cold. They ran out of champagne after our first glass of bottomless mimosas. We had 3 different servers, and got different information about our order with each change in waiter. The dj was the best thing about this place. The manager tried his best to accommodate us but overall I never have to go back.
