    Turkey Wings was subpar. They originally said that they didn’t have any Turkey Wings and later cam back and said they did. That along with taste was giving 2-3 day leftovers. Waiters was pleasant and the hookah girl was cordial.

    Service was slow for it not to be crowded. Fish and Grits weren’t flavorful at all. However, the Lemon Pepper Wings are delicious. The waitress to about 20mins to take our initial order.

    We were surprised by the $20 to park just to go into restaurant to eat. The food was really good. We had the fish & grits with collard greens. The drinks were strong. The music was a bit louder than expected around 8:30. It made sense once the DJ arrived around 10 but earlier in the day we couldn’t hear each other. Recommend before 7pm for dinner and after 10pm for a party atmosphere

    Food was great, service was great ! They sat us in a small Corner at a dirty wobbly table! I had to move for the table be hind me to get up. The air conditioning was leaking on the floor , they put a wet sign on it and put more guest at the table! And the hostess can smile a little she was little aggressive
