Had seen this place for years. Decide to give it a try. I'm glad I did. They have a brunch menu with breakfast and lunch options. The chicken fried steak, eggs, and hash brown were awesome. The biscuits with jam plate were great too. Good selection of craft and bottle beers. Also, a wide selection of bourbon and cocktail drinks. Really cool open kitchen. The kitchen team was putting out hot and fresh food. Will definitely be back to try the dinner menu.

The atmosphere is great. The seating is spacious and comfortable. The staff is polite. The wings I ordered were over cooked therefore tough. The BBQ sauce on the wings were good. The hand cut fries weren't fresh they came to the table lukewarm. My friend had the catfish with rice and she enjoyed her meal. She also recommends the shrimp and grits. Maybe I'll try one of them next time. I haven't ruled this restaurant out, yet.

A great atmosphere with delicious brunch and the best Bloody Mary I've ever had. The tartness and spice were perfectly balanced. Everthing about the fried green tomato appetizer was amazing. The creamy and sharp pimento cheese paired wonderfully with the crispy tomatoes. The bacon jam brings it all together. Will definitely dream about both until I return!

I had the smoked chicken wings entree with collard green waffle balls and fried green tomatoes. The fried green tomatoes with pimiento cheese & bacon jam are some of the best I've ever had. The fried tomatoes, tomato to batter ratio was perfect. Fried to a golden brown & drizzled with some kind of wonderful white herb sauce. Delicious!!! I ordered the wings entree after reading the reviews, complete let down. There was no smoked flavor or any flavor. The collard greens should have been cooked longer and seasoned though out the flavor was in the bottom of the bowl in the pot liquor. Waffle balls did not taste like waffles, more like a sweeten hushpuppy & too greasy. The service was good. The bottomless 12.99 mimosas were a hit. I would have like to have a/c lower and the brunch prices are reasonable. Overall, I would return again.

So I had heard some great things about the food here, and I'll say that every word of it was true, this is the perfect brunch spot, from the bottomless mimosas, to the food and for sure the service I was not disappointed. I have had a lot of things smoked but wings was not one until now, and I enjoyed every bite, the fried green tomatoes with the pimento cheese sauce, wow I would buy the sauce alone, it's not the grocery store pimento that's for sure. I have already made a reservation for my next visit, so I'll be back very soon.
