    I got the shrimp and grits. The sauce was a little more on the sweeter side and I’m a fan of savory and spice when it comes to my choice of sauce for that particular dish. But I enjoyed the pesto drizzle and the fried chicken was really good.

    I’ve eaten here multiple times and have never had bad service, but I WILL say that today, the host/waitress looked and behaved like she didn’t want to be there. Luckily she was only showing us to a table and not waiting on us. I had the mojo hash and a side of grits with Gouda cheese and both were very tasty.

    Food was amazing. Service was slower than we liked and we had to sit outside because they didn’t allow an option for indoor seating when we made the reservations which was terrible. Was disappointed that we didn’t have the option to sit indoor once we arrived.

    Was seated outside on a windy and cloudy day. The table we sat at was wobbly and when asked if we could move the waitresses told us we could physically move the table from beside us but couldn’t move to the table. The rod iron pink rusty table was just the top of the terribly experience. It took 45min to get BURNT BACON and COLD GRITS. Fighting off flying insects it was just the worse. This was my first and absolute last time dining here
