“Fried chicken skin & hush puppies as appetizers followed by BBQ Shrimp & Grits w/ side of black eyed peas with rice. Two in our party enjoyed the Hanger Steak and sautéed veggies.😋 Although not quite like our experience in New Orleans the chef still ‘brought it’! We will be back! 👍💯“

“What a gem in Phoenix. Upon walking in I was greeted by everyone working - So welcoming. The place is clean and cozy and I loved the counter-vibe where I sat.

Food-wise it was fantastic. The fried catfish was straight outta the South. Mixed greens were so, so amazing - Full of flavor with the right light heat, no need to add anything. Mac and cheese was hearty and yummy, not soupy and bland. Cornbread topped off an amazing lunch, all washed down with some great sweet tea. Now one thing to note - They make the food fresh to order so it’s not a super quick lunch spot but oh my, worth the extra 5 or so minutes for fresh food.

Seriously, this place is good enough to run to on a long layover. 1000% I’m going every time I’m in Phoenix.“

“Google Maps said this was a restaurant that was open late. And that's true, but it's also the restaurant for a hotel, so if you come by, you should know that.

The tacos and house salad were good, if a bit pricey. If you're coming in late looking for a meal, though, I recommend it.

The staff was nice and friendly as well.“

“Just got done eating here and it was amazing. Taste was perfect. Atmosphere was nice and quiet. I love the fact that thy actually put BBQ sauce on the meat. Everyplace I go to they never do that they let you do it which doesn’t make sense to me. Also when you pull up you can smell the smoke in the air. A++++“

“My husband and I came here due to a conference in Vegas. The food was amazing! The macaroni and cheese was the best! The chicken was crispy! The string beans though a bit spicy were super flavorful. The drinks were good too. We sat at the bar with Gabby and she was super hospitable to us. She always checked on us and even replaced the string beans when they were too spicy.“

“The food was delicious. Seasoned well and meat was to the bone delicious. I had catfish, green beans and potatoes, cabbage and cornbread. My mom had the BBQ rib tips and my little girl had the fried chicken with Cole slaw and Mac and cheese. I do recommend. Now if you are used to bland food, this place isn’t for you.“
