We missed the favorites from the season of menu such as the patty melt, brisket nachos and the pot roast. Our waitress was fantastic.

The photo advertisement on Open Table is NOT accurate! I planned a special Father’s Day dinner for party of 8 expecting to be able to order the food, drinks, & desserts being advertised only to get there and find out the menu was changed over a year ago and has never been updated online. To require a credit card with requiring acknowledgment for any person in the party not showing up would cost $20 each to only be able to order a catfish or shrimp plate was disappointing! We were looking forward to steak, deviled eggs, etc. The only reason I didn’t grade 1 star in all categories is because of our waitress. She was polite, kind, and extremely apologetic. It is not her fault the website and often table has not been updated. The atmosphere was not what we expected since what we were expecting was what the photos showed; however, it wasn’t bad. I’m sure it is a great place to have lunch or dinner with your family & friends. This restaurant needs to update their pictures, info, and menu so other families know what to expect.

As always, Gillian gave us excellent service, the food was very good - BUT the menu changes are NOT GOOD at all!!! Why did most of your vegetable choices leave - no mac and cheese ?? no collards??? I didn’t ask about the smoked tomato jam, was afraid to…and apparently, mashed potatoes are the only daily veg left, except for the special? What am i missing here?
